I think of divorce as a transition rather than an ending. And it's taught me that I think of Daryl's death as a transition in our relationship rather than an ending. And I think that what I'm doing, I still quote him all the time. You know, I still there's still those little funny things that he would have said that I still come to my mind whenever I don't know, just at different times during the day. And I just think my relationship with him is still there. It's just different. And so that's one big thing is like thinking of it more as a transition of our relationship rather than an ending. And the other is that it's really helped me focus a lot on the grief of divorce. And I think I can identify with my students and my clients in a way that I wasn't quite able to before, because I've never been divorced. So I know a lot about it, because I've worked with a lot of people who have, but I think I'm able to understand a little bit about more about them, which has been a real gift.
