For anybody going through a divorce at the moment, I'm sure that what I'm about
to say is going to sound pretty familiar - I don't think I'm telling you anything new.
But, one thing I realized the other day when we were working with one of our clients was that,
Divorce is really like somebody losing a limb,
or a hand, more specifically.
If you lose your left hand as we've all heard, the right hand will learn to compensate over time
You will learn to do more with your right hand, or your right hand will
strengthen and become more dexterous
and you will become more practiced than using that right hand.
You also want to use muscles that you may not have used before
in order to do those things.
Divorce is very similar to that.
You've lost your left hand, the future that you had planned
the future that you were looking at and working towards is now gone so it's
now going to be a matter of you learning those tasks, relearning how to use some
of those muscles taking responsibility for some of that planning yourself.
That can be really daunting, it can be really intimidating
so I think I would encourage everybody at it,
that's going through this process to do is,
firstly, take a step back -- you are not alone and you will get better and things will improve .
Take a step back, take a moment, and go on find somebody to
help you work through the process.
We recommend somebody in an arm's length,
friends and family, bless them.. They may not always be across all the
ins and outs and intricacies of such a big life change and obviously
their priority more about making sure that you are looked after in the moment.
Whereas a really good adviser, what they will do is,
they will map out your future
and make sure that you can get back on that right track.
They'll do it in a really sensitive and important way
so they can get back on track as quickly as possible.
A little bit like losing a hand.
I'm sure there's more of
that metaphor, that analogy, that we can work with
But I thought that's a good one to start with.
Thanks a lot!
