The idea behind this card — The leaver's grief
If you're the one who ended it: you're allowed to grieve the marriage you chose to leave. Choosing the ending doesn't cancel the loss.
FEEL — Permission for every feeling the ending brings

The practice
write the sentence and keep it where the guilt lives: 'I ended it, and I'm allowed to mourn it. Both are mine.' The world sends no flowers for this one. Send your own.
Where this idea comes from
- Kenneth Doka — disenfranchised grief
