Relief and Grief Arrived Together

Dear Delyara, Divorce was not the clean emotional event people seem to expect. It was relief. It was grief. It was exhaustion. It was freedom. It was failure. It was honesty. It was shame. It was finally being able to breathe. All at once. I wish people understood that sometimes leaving the right thing still breaks your heart. It doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision. It just means endings are expensive.
