firstwivesworld's ambitious and never-ending mission is to ensure that women never go through divorce alone again or without the tools and knowledge to get through it stronger, smarter and more empowered.

(div-vors’ , -vors) v. A verb from the Latin divortium coined circa 1350 meaning “to separate or cut off.” Much has changed in 657 years. Women got the vote, birth control, a say in who they said I do to, careers, water-proof mascara, and today, over 50% of those who tie the not, get it untied. It’s been over half a millennium since divorce was defined. It’s time it was redefined. If not the word, then certainly the experience.

Devastated. Relieved. Catatonic. Ecstatic. Angry. Giddy. In desperate need of a nap? We experience a multitude of feelings when going through a separation of any sort. Sometimes one at a time. Often all at once. But we all feel for each other. And whatever sounds that little voice in your head is making, you can voice it hear, and it’ll be heard.

Divorce hurts. Like a bitch. So go ahead — scream, yell, cry, sob, or bang at your keyboard until your fingers hurt. You’re not alone, and, most importantly; you’re not the first to feel this way. So, let it out, and know you can always find someone here going through exactly what you’re going through.

Divorce is no laughing matter. Until it is. We respect and understand the former, but hope to get you to the latter.

We’re trying to take the misery out of commiseration. Even if your divorce wasn’t ugly, and you couldn’t be happier, divorce isn’t something anyone gets past easily. But together we can get past it, eventually. So if you’re diving head first into firstwivesworld, or just dipping your toe, we hope you’ll find many truths — above all that life does go on.

Divorced women don’t have to be a part of a broken couple. They can be full-fledged members of a community. We’re all different, but in many ways exactly alike – Rich, poor, black, white, younger, older, Baptist, Buddhist, orthodox Jewish, Irish Catholic women dealing with old, new or possibly imminent divorces. Right now, in this space and time that one fact has brought us together to support, hear, inform and inspire each other. And transform us into one strong sisterhood.
