Letting go of someone you love from a death, divorce, or a breakup can be one of the hardest things you will ever do. To avoid more pain, you may be holding onto things that no longer serve you or avoiding it altogether. When you let go of things, it doesn't mean your loss is now "okay". Instead, it means you are going to be okay.

Divorce is a lot like losing someone. It is the death of a marriage. It is a sheer and brutal act of abandonment. It is extremely personal. Even after the meanest separation or divorce that caught you off guard, you may achieve this level of self-acceptance and forgiveness. This doesn’t mean you deny what they did to you or run away from the pain. Instead, you allow yourself to experience it all—the guilt, shame, anger, and disappointment—and move through it. If that’s how you’re feeling right now, this book is for you.
