Announcing a Divorce (whether or not you’re Jeff Bezos)

The decision to get divorced is rarely easy and often filled with emotional turmoil. How and when to let acquaintances and the public in on that very personal and private decision is a complicated one itself, and worthy of careful consideration. Because how you frame things now, what you share, and how you talk about your soon-to-be-ex will have ripples and ripples into the future. Being very intentional with your language and your tone is important and can help set the stage for a more peaceful next chapter.
