      <image:title>Blog - Navigating Holidays after Separation - Holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's are full of rituals. The foods that we eat, the religious services we attend, the family that we gather with on a specific date, at a specific time, the way we exchange presents, the decorations that we use, and on and on and on. Some of the rituals we inherit from our family of origin, some we marry into with joy and excitement (others with a deep sigh), and still others we create. Both my favorite holiday gatherings involve hiking. The first is the creatively named "New Year's Day Hike," which my parents started more than 30 years ago as a way to work off all of their New Year's Eve festivities (that's a nice way of saying they drank too much). All these years later, I still go with them up and over Stone Mountain, and it has become a tradition that my husband and children also cherish. The second tradition, also creatively named the "Day After Thanksgiving Hike," was started in 2018 as a way to avoid Black Friday crowds and consumerism (if you love the deals, I remain forever awed by your ability to navigate humanity!). Unlike the challenge of the former, this hike is a meandering, nearly elevation-free, 1.5-mile stroll through the woods to a campsite where we build a fire, eat leftover turkey sandwiches, hot dogs, and s'mores, and breathe in the crisp pine air.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - What to Say (and Not Say) to Your Children about Divorce - Clients come to us at all different stages of separation. Some have been living separately for months and have already begun figuring out the logistics of two homes, new routines, and parenting schedules. Others are sitting in our office very early in the process, sometimes before they have even told their children that anything is changing. One of the first questions we often hear from those parents is also one of the hardest: What do I say to my children? Usually, the question is carrying much more weight than the words themselves suggest. These parents know that what is said, and how it is said, will be a BIG conversation – one that has the potential to stay with their children for years to come. Parents want to get this right and to ensure that their children are going to be okay (they are going to be okay).</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is understandable, then, that parents often look for a script. They search online for exactly what to say, read books about talking to children about divorce, or ask their friends what worked for their families.</image:caption>
