Hi everyone,
I’m Ryan, recently separated from my wife, and i’m navigating a mix of emotions- pain, confusion and hope. I’m starting this thread to connect with others who’ve been through separation or divorce. How did you cope? What helped you heal and move forward?
If you’re going through this now or have been there before, please share your story or advice. Lets support each other and remind ourselves we’re not alone.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Ryan.

Hi there,
My Buddhist teachings say that one must rely on oneself. When there is meeting, there will eventually be parting. We are born alone, and we die alone. No matter how much we love something or someone, we cannot take them with us. No matter how deeply attached we are, one day we must part , whether by separation or by death. When faced with disappointment or situations we don’t like, we must maintain mindfulness, guiding our thoughts with awareness. This requires continuous practice. I have practiced meditation for a long time, so these truths no longer harm me as deeply as they might others.
