Feeling helpless after divorce

I’m learning that helpless is a hard feeling to sit with after divorce. It’s not always that I have nothing I can do. Sometimes it’s more like my whole life changed, and I’m still trying to catch up with it.

Since my divorce, I’ve had moments where I know I’m at peace with the decision. But that doesn’t mean the pain just leaves. The memories are still there. The quiet is still there. The part of me trying to figure out what life looks like now is still there too.

I don’t want to stay stuck in this feeling, but I’m also not trying to pretend it’s not real. Some days I have to remind myself that feeling helpless doesn’t mean I’m hopeless. It just means I’m still adjusting.
