If you’re just embarking on your divorce journey, here’s a quote that may mean absolutely nothing to you right now but we, at The Divorce Magazine, would like to let you know that the pain does indeed end.
There maybe a lot of work to be done by you in order for you to be able to cope with the emotions and beyond.
We have plenty of articles that can help you in coping with divorce and separation. Click here and you will find them.
If you have never heard of Brené Brown the we urge you to find her, read her, listen to her and see why these are our 5 favourite quotes.
It was hard, very tough, excruciatingly difficult to make the choice of which quote to pick and which to drop.
Brené Brown is an American scholar, author, and public speaker, who is currently a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work.
She researches courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. You can see watch her here – Ted Talks
Here’s her website – brenebrown.com
Here are some of our usual Friday quotes. These are all from Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth – Awakening the Purpose in your Life. We, at TDM, felt that they would be quite appropriate in helping people going through divorce in coping with divorce and the divorce process. If you have a favourite Eckhart Tolle quote share it with us.
Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not ‘yours,’ not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.
To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Here are some Brené Brown quotes that we, at TDM, hope will help in coping with divorce and moving on from a broken relationship.
Someone once said, that you know you have moved on when you can laugh at some of the things that made you mad in the past.
So we collected a bunch of divorce quotes which we think are (almost) funny for you.
Hope you enjoy (some of ) them
Here are a few quotes for you in whatever stage you are in your divorce process. Just at the beginning, in the middle of the separation or divorce process or maybe it’s all done and your are at that stage of learning how you can begin coping with divorce and life after divorce; like the Tony Robbins quote as well as the Linda Ellerbee quote.
A couple of the divorce quotes may be more appropriate when looking at what to do with your new life – maybe start a business as a way of creating a revenue stream (the Oprah one is pretty apt for that as is the Paulo Coelho one – we think).
One that is not included here but is great too is “You have to decided to get better.”
Not sure who said it but there you go.

Here at The Divorce Magazine thought gathering some great stepmom quotes would be a good idea.
Having said that there are a couple that are stepparenting quotes as opposed to stepmom quotes only.
Do you have some that you think we should know about or which one of these is will you add to your stepmom quotes?
Why put together a stepmom quotes list? Why not really? Stepmoms have a great role to play in the lives of children of divorce and at times in helping children cope with divorce and separation.
While it is true that not only stepmoms are wonderful, it’s also true that not all mums and dads are wonderful.
I have met some lovely stepmums but have only heard of and never met some not “very nice” ones. One of my divorced friends for instance had a wonderful relationship with the stepmum to her children that was until she married my friend’s ex-husband. Rules changed and the life after divorce that the children knew with her around gradually changed. She suddenly become intolerant of the children and of my friend.
My eldest daughter has a lovely stepmum and for that I will always be grateful.
Ali Wilks contributed a fab article, STEPPARENTING FROM THE STEPCHILD’S PERSPECTIVE, on getting to know your stepchildren and seeing it from their perspective, while Jenna Korf’s article on 8 THINGS DIVORCED MOMS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STEPMOMS, was a great hit with our readers as was Erin Careless’ articles on ON BEING A STEPMOM – LESSONS PASSED DOWN.
