Separation and Healing

Going through a tough separation?

Breaking up is always a difficult process, whether you were together for a long period of time or a relatively short one. Not only is it possible to experience feelings like anger, disappointment, or even relief, but it is a time of mourning.

It's ok to feel sad. It's ok to feel a great loss....even if you know the change is for the better. All of these feelings are normal and should be embraced. Feel them. Use them as tools for healing, just don't linger on the negative for long. It will only hurt you and weigh you down, but for a brief time, feel the hurt so you can begin to heal.

We would love to hear your healing story. Please comment or send us an email at ContinualCare@gmail.com

Friendship in Marriage

"It's not the lack of love, but the lack of friendship that makes many marriages unhappy."
— Friedrich Nietzsche

The power of friendship in a relationship can't be overestimated. You may know you can rely on your partner for anything, but it's important to like each other, too. So put the same amount of effort into your spouse as you give to your friends — funny e-mails, impromptu dinners, all of it.
