\nPain arises when you first hear from your spouse, words about wanting a divorce. The pain can be so great that sometimes it may seem that you will not survive it. Pain is an emotion we use to send a message to our spouse about how devastated we really are.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nGrief – sometimes after the pain there will be anger and resentment. Usually a woman accuses her husband of not being who she wanted him to be. At the stage of grief, a woman may decide to take revenge.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nMadness comes when you realize that your spouse is serious and really wants a divorce. You focus all your energy on getting him to change his mind. At this stage, you can alternate between rage and tenderness.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe disappointment begins when you finally realize that nothing can be changed. This divorce will happen whether you want it or not. You've tried everything in your arsenal to get your spouse to change their mind, but you realize there's nothing more you can do.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWhen frustration disappears, despair sets in. Desperation is when you really start to accept the fact that you are powerless to change the situation.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAfter you experienced emotional outbursts in the previous five stages, you and your energy are completely depleted. You may feel depressed.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n\u00a0Definition – when you enter a certain stage, you are tired of being tired.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nHope is the stage when you build your resolve and start exploring your options, you realize that there is hope. Others have moved on from divorce, and so have you. You begin to see light at the end of your long dark tunnel.<\/p>\n
