KEY POINTS

Facing divorce is always difficult, but when you have a blended family, it can feel even more complicated. On “Life Quakes,” host Patricia Wu and guest therapist and healer Josie Rosario offers guidance for navigating this challenging transition.

Talk to your children in age-appropriate ways about what’s happening. Help them understand it’s not their fault.

Divorce is stressful. Make time to care for yourself, so you can be emotionally present for your children.
