I Wish I Had Known: 10 Things to Remember During a Divorce is a faith-centered encouragement guide that offers ten compassionate reminders for individuals navigating the emotional upheaval of divorce.

Written from personal experience, this resource reassures readers that intense and conflicting emotions are normal, grief is necessary (even if they initiated the divorce), and healing is not linear. Each section highlights a key truth—such as not needing to explain one’s story to everyone, allowing rest instead of constant strength, accepting loneliness as a season, and taking life one manageable step at a time—while identifying “signs of healing” that readers can look for in themselves.

Throughout the guide, I emphasize patience, self-compassion, and spiritual grounding. Readers are reminded that divorce can unsettle multiple areas of life at once—identity, finances, faith—but that this instability does not equal failure. The closing message reinforces that there is no set timeline for healing, growth often looks quiet and unremarkable, and becoming a new version of oneself is not something to fear. Ultimately, the guide affirms that divorce is not the end of one’s story, and that steady, grace-filled progress—however small—is still progress.
