When a couple come to the knowledge that their relationship has reached completion, for whatever reason, there might be a tendency to run as fast as possible, or to hide, or to feel shame. We have a vast array of ways to move through the grief of separation. And not only is the grief related to this separation, but it may also bring up painful memories of old separations as well.

​

Within this array of options, there is also the choice of moving through the closure of the old form of relationship consciously. This can allow for something new to grow, something which honours all the love and history that has flowed between the couple. 

​

A separation ceremony is one way to bring together the threads of the fabric that once held the couple and with these threads to create something new. This might allow the couple to find support in this brave step of finding a healthy new form to grow into. For a couple who have children or other shared and beloved responsibilities, this new form of relationship is incredibly important.
