HEALING IS NOT LINEAR 💔

Healing isn’t a straight line.

When my marriage ended, I thought healing would be neat and predictable.

Step one: grieve.

Step two: move on.

Step three: feel happy again.

But real healing looked nothing like that.

Some days I felt strong and hopeful.

Other days, I slid backwards into sadness, doubt, or anger.

For a while, I thought this meant I was failing.

But I’ve learned something important:

healing isn’t about moving in a perfect line.

It’s about showing up, again and again, for yourself.

Healing is messy. It’s uneven. It’s full of setbacks and breakthroughs.

And that’s okay. 👍

Every tear shed, every boundary set, every small step forward is part of the process.

Being “stuck” doesn’t mean you aren’t healing -

it just means your heart is still catching up.

One day, often when you least expect it, you’ll realise you’ve grown stronger in the process.

You’ll see that you’re Not the same person who began the journey.

You’re wiser, braver, and more resilient.
