Grieve Leave's Divorce Support Faves

Bundle Curated by Rebecca Feinglos of Grieve Leave, @grieveleave

Being there for a friend who is going through the divorce process can feel daunting...what do you say? How do you show you care about them in the midst of a complicated situation? Grieve Leave loves our friends at Fresh Starts Registry, and we put together a bundle of items to gift a friend who is going through a divorce. These are a handful of ways you can show up for someone, let their feelings -- whatever they are -- be ok with you, and tell them you care about them.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Do you know someone transitioning to divorce? A registry is the best way to support them with the items they need to feel loved, supported and empowered through their divorce. Step one: create a registry.

  2. Click the links below and add these Grieve Leave suggested items to their registry!

  3. Send the link to your friend group and community with the message below. Remember, community care is self care, and we all need to support each other.

  4. Send the link along with this message: "Hey! As you may know, [Friend] is currently transitioning to divorce. It can be a time full of a lot of grief, so I thought we could show our support and love with some special support items. Check out this registry I curated with the help of Grieve Leave. All you need to do is click "add to cart" and the support item will be on its way! Appreciate your support in loving on [Friend] at this time. I know it will mean the world to them!"
