HOW do you

move on

from that?

DIVORCE

it's like a person

has been ripped

from your side

when they were joined

to you

But the truth

is this...

We all feel

the same excruciating

pain.

And all of us

ask the same

questions

Photo by Stefan Baudy

Why is this happening to me?

Why couldn't
he love me?

Why wasn't I
the one he stayed
and fought for?

Why was I such a fool to have given

my heart away to
someone like him?

What's wrong
with me?

All justified.

All normal.

Anger

Denial

Depression

The saddest thing

of all is that

many women

choose to stay

in the
Waiting Room

THE REST OF
THEIR LIVES

They go back there

and spend time

nurturing their hurt

their disppointments

resentments

and, ultimately,

their FEAR

To remain here...

They have no idea

that, if they

were to turn

When you ask

with a genuinely

curious heart

the answers to

these questions

will give you

surprising insights.

Here's the thing...

Not all men

can come in.

Sometimes he's just not

in a place

where he's able to.

ACCEPT

Unless I accepted

the past in a way

that meant I could

actually look back

with love

Untitled Slide

It just simply

made me angry.

It seemed impossible,

I still hurt too much.

It wasn't my fault

and, after all,

if he had been

different.

I would have been

different.

Everything would have

been different.

been different.

I began to ask

better questions.

I began to talk

to a few

close people and

do some research.

Untitled Slide

None of them

were able to

be there for me.

They just couldn't be.

It's who they were.

I'm going to give you

some ideas

for things you can do

to let someone go.

Untitled Slide

It takes a

"physical act"

of Letting Go

to convince

your brain

that it's done.

Let him go

Idea 1

Write a letter

to each of your ex's

in your life

that let you down -

but don't

send them.

Talk to them

by telling them

as many things

that you can

think of

that begin with

these statements...

I wish that...

Photo by Rubin Starset

I'm sorry that...

Photo by Rubin Starset

I'm angry that...

Photo by Rubin Starset

I'm afraid that...

Photo by Rubin Starset

Then tell him/them

that you are

releasing them

letting them go.

Then

let him go.

Part 2 of this

Write a letter
