There was no Divorce Workshops available near where I live. I was skeptical that an online class could help. The Seminar, with the technology, made it very easy and accessible. All my questions were always answered. The facilitation and teaching were excellent. I made friends with several students – we talk weekly. All of us grew so much as a result of the Seminar

Words cannot express the valuable insight I found during my workshop experience. I find myself stronger, much happier & less anxiety-ridden. I believe processing every single emotion truly made the difference. I tell anyone going thru a split to invest in this class. The structure & support of people in the trenches with me, were priceless. You really helped in leading me to the path toward healing.

I believe the most impactful part of our seminar for me was, how it taught me about myself. I became aware that I mattered. I had completely lost myself throughout my life of marriage and kids. I had existed as a non-entity until now. I learned that I am worth focusing on, being taken care of, valued, and cherished. I am worth having a good time, laughing, and my feelings, thoughts and dreams matter! I am a kind and giving person, but I can also take care of ME now as well. I am stronger than I think I am, and I am ENOUGH! This will be a constant journey of self-worth for me, so please keep me in all of your prayers and thoughts. You are all forever with me! Thank you, Nick!!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone.

When my husband left suddenly and I was new to Denver, I knew I needed help navigating the scary world of separation and divorce. I discovered the The Fisher Rebuilding Seminar through online research and believe this course not only sustained me during a difficult time but also provided key resources for building a life apart from one’s partner. Nick Meima does a superb job of creating a safe space for thoughtful and meaningful exploration during a very fragile time in one’s life. The deliberate and intentional topics help those in distress make sense of what is happening and create new stories for how to create purposeful lives. It has been a time of growth, healing and tremendous encouragement.

Divorce is not just a legal process—it’s an emotional journey that often mirrors the stages of grief. Understanding the grieving process can help you navigate this difficult time with more clarity and self-compassion. Here's a step-by-step guide to the stages of grief during divorce.
Denial is often the first stage of divorce grief. You might struggle to accept that the relationship is truly over. This can manifest as holding onto hope for reconciliation, even when it’s clear that the marriage has ended. During this stage, it’s important to acknowledge your feelings but also start focusing on your own healing process.
To help manage this, you can connect with others who are going through similar experiences. Read more in Finding Your Tribe: Choosing the Right Support Group for Divorce.
As denial fades, anger often surfaces. You may feel resentment toward your ex-spouse or even towards yourself for decisions made during the marriage. Anger can be a powerful emotion, but it’s essential to express it in healthy ways. Consider talking to a therapist or joining a support group to vent and process these feelings without causing more damage to yourself or others.
Our post on Managing Emotional Turmoil During Divorce offers strategies to cope with this and other intense emotions.
In this stage, you may find yourself thinking of ways you could have "saved" the marriage. Bargaining is a way to regain control over the situation, even if it’s unrealistic. It’s common to reflect on past actions and wonder if different decisions could have changed the outcome. While reflection can be helpful, it’s important not to get stuck in the "what-ifs."
If you’re struggling, consider reading Healing After Divorce: The Role of Self-Care and Personal Growth to help refocus on your personal recovery.
Depression is a deep sense of sadness and loss that comes when the reality of divorce fully sets in. You may feel like a part of your identity has been lost, and it’s common to feel overwhelmed or alone during this time. This stage often requires support from loved ones and professionals, as isolation can intensify feelings of despair.
Acceptance doesn’t mean you’re happy about the divorce, but it does mean you’ve made peace with the reality of it. This stage allows you to begin rebuilding your life and moving forward. You might not feel "over" the divorce, but you will reach a point where it no longer defines you.
The grieving process in divorce isn’t linear—you may move back and forth between stages. By understanding these stages and seeking help when needed, you can heal and rebuild your life.
