Divorce tends to get framed as an ending. And it is one. But for many people it's also the beginning of something — a slow, disorienting, sometimes surprising process of figuring out who they are without the relationship that defined so much of their adult life. That process deserves more attention than it usually gets.

Major life transitions — even the ones chosen and wanted — often bring an unexpected loss of self. The role changes. The external life shifts. And somewhere in the middle, the question surfaces: who am I now? That disorientation tends to be one of the least prepared-for parts of any significant change — and one of the most worth paying attention to.
