Endings can feel like sudden storms — divorce, children leaving home, loss, or a quiet day of questioning. I’ve felt that storm. I’ve felt the fear, the heartbreak, and the hesitation to move forward.

When life hands you an ending, it’s natural to feel fear. I’ve been there. After my marriage ended, I was left with an empty space that felt unbearable. But here’s the shift: a blank page is not the end of your story —

Endings can feel like storms. I’ve been there, and I know the fear and uncertainty that comes with it. Yet within every ending is a hidden awakening. A fresh start is waiting, even when it feels impossible.

Imagine if every ending in life wasn’t a loss, but an invitation. That’s how I now see my divorce. At first, it felt like the ground had fallen away beneath me.

Fresh starts can feel overwhelming — divorce, loss, kids leaving, change of life direction, or simply realising life isn’t what you expected.

Starting a new chapter in life can feel overwhelming, especially when it isn’t by choice.
