I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth.

I wish I had been a better mother and a more compassionate and understanding wife in both of my marriages.

In my life, there have been people that I was convinced would be around forever, and yet, somehow they managed to drift away after a couple of years. Likewise there have been people who have begun as casual acquaintances but become more important with each passing year.

I don't mind being single. In fact, I like it.

I don't regret either of my marriages - not for a minute.

For anyone going through a divorce or any other painful challenge, the first and most important recommendation I can make is to find some kind of spiritual and emotional support.
