When gardeners want to see their flowers thrive, they often trim off dried and decayed parts of the plant. This process, known as deadheading, allows plants to blossom. Divorce isn’t unlike deadheading; it’s a chance to rid our lives of the bad and rebuild. While divorce can feel like the end, it’s not — it’s an opportunity. To quote Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” Divorce presents challenges. You choose how to react and grow from these challenges. Instead of letting the decaying parts stay, you can cut them off and allow yourself to blossom into the best possible you. It will be hard, but you can move forward and become the person you want to be. How the Worst Allows the Best T he O pportunities D ivorce G ives

This growth potential is integral to how we strategize with every client. Our client care coordinators always ask, “If I had a magic wand and could give you any future, what would life look like in five, 10, or 15 years?” We do that for a reason; we want you to think about the life you can build once you face and surpass the challenges of divorce. There are possibilities, and you can turn your dreams into reality. It won’t be easy, but it’s possible in ways you couldn’t see before the divorce. Focusing on revenge rather than growth is a temptation for many people going through divorce. Many lawyers specialize in inflicting pain and punishment. They can give you a generous settlement but leave you bitter and resentful. We understand there’s anger, and much of it is justified. But to fully blossom, every plant needs to lose the old growth. A big part of our process is the transition. Our website offers many resources for families looking to heal, and we have a network of specialists who can help keep life growing. We also provide probate services to better prepare families for any possibility. And we can help create parenting plans to make separation easier for children. Years later, when you look back at your divorce, we want you to think of it as the time you decided to grow. Divorce will be a distant memory, and you might not recognize the person you used to be. We are excited to see and help you get to that future.
