Divorce is common… but it’s never harmless.
Nearly half of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce, and for families with kids, the risks are far greater than most people realize.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I see firsthand the impact divorce has on children. From regret to stepfamily risks, the numbers are not just shocking, they’re terrifying.

I wrote this blog post to share what the research says about divorce, the Cinderella effect of stepparents, and why so many couples never go back once the process begins. Most importantly, I share what you can do now to protect your kids, your marriage, and your future.

Let’s be honest: divorce is not rare in America. It is almost ordinary. For people ages 25 to 45, the years when many are raising young children, divorce happens a lot. And when it does, kids are the ones carrying the weight.

For many veterans, the battle doesn’t end once they come home. Memories of combat, loss, and trauma can linger long after deployment, showing up in nightmares, flashbacks, and a constant feeling of being on high alert. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a heavy burden that too many veterans ...

🌿 Grief Doesn’t Shrink—We Grow Around It

I didn’t understand this until I had no choice but to live it.

When you lose a child, time doesn’t heal. People say it does, but they don’t know. The grief doesn’t get smaller. It doesn’t fade. It becomes a part of you—woven into your breath, your mornings, your quiet moments at night.

What can change… is the life you build around it.

A life where you laugh again—and feel guilty for it.
A life where their memory is stitched into everything—your strength, your love, your pain.
A life where you’re still their mother, even if the world can’t see it.

To every mom carrying an invisible weight:
You don’t need to get over it. You just need space to breathe around it.
You are not broken. You are not alone.

💛 I see you.
💛 Your love is eternal.
💛 And your grief is real, valid, and sacred.

Let life grow around it—with compassion.
