So tawtude kadi no hala, ko yottu e jamanu e alɗe Allah. 🤍

Assalamu alaikum. So, when you're really hurting, trust me, no amount of people, money, hobbies, food, or distractions can fix that. It’s like this deep ache just hanging out with you, day and night, until it starts to heal. And believe me, you will heal - time and Allah’s mercy gonna do their thing. I've been through a rough patch like this before, so I know it doesn't last forever. Lately, I've been chatting with my own heart, reminding it to just hang in there a little longer. Divorce is a test, just like anything else - folks deal with sickness, injury, losing loved ones, or going broke; this is just one of those tough times that you eventually get through. This is my second divorce, and honestly, I felt pain even when I was married. After we split, I felt a bit of relief, but once the whole process kicked off, all those feelings from the past and worries about the future just crashed over me all at once. As a woman, making this move wasn’t easy. Everyone was telling me, “What if the next marriage is worse?” But I've learned that being by myself is better than being with the wrong person. Even if I’m just managing to get by right now, that's still worth recognizing. No amount of human company, travel, or distraction seems to help at this moment. May Allah give sabr (patience) and peace to anyone going through something like this. Don't lose hope. 🤍
