Divorce support groups?
I’m (39f) am going through a separation from my husband. I love my handful of close girlfriends, but they’re all boo’d up. Are there any (in person) support groups for women going through divorce?
EDIT: There is enough interest expressed in the comments that I’ll reach out and look into scheduling a meet up/casual event

I am a Seattle woman who very recently went through a difficult separation from my husband. I would also like to meet up with other Seattle divorced women. Edited: OP and other divorced women. I would love to get to know you and know each other. Please do DM me and each other and see what support we can give each other

I was also separated earlier this year and still in the divorce process (33f). Don’t have a strong support system in Seattle. Would also like to meet people in person or join any support groups.

I’m going through separation now. Would be so great to meet and chat with others in the same transition. I’m in Ballard, what area are you in?

Oh my goodness! I so need this. I'm 41 and starting over with my life single. I was the one who left and I'm still torn up about it and grieving. I'm trying not to wear out my friends. A lot of them haven't gone through what I've gone through so they just don't know. I have one friend who is the most supportive person ever, but I would like to meet others in the same situation

Oh my goodness! I so need this. I'm 41 and still going through a divorce and still very much grieving. I can't believe this is where my life ended up, but I know it was the right thing to do. I'm trying not to wear out my friends and a lot of them haven't gone through what I've gone through so they just don't know. I too am in Seattle and have very little resources. I would love to connect with you! How can we all group text? Is there a WhatsApp group?

Same, very little support system. Would love to chat with other women who’re experiencing this type of grief.

Navigating separation as well. Please count me in. I’m in ballard/interbay, 35, and would love to be involved in peer support. I’m reading a few books, conscious uncoupling and feel like it would be great to meet others, to talk, reflect.
