Spending Canada Day During Separation? You’re Not Alone
Canada Day is a time for celebration, but if you’re going through a divorce or separation, it can feel overwhelming.
Our team at Divorce Easy want to thank our clients across Calgary, Edmonton, and surrounding areas for trusting a proud Canadian company during such a personal transition. Whether you’re adjusting to a new routine, navigating co-parenting, or simply trying to get through the long weekend– we want you to know that you’re not alone.
If this Canada Day feels different, that’s okay. We’ve shared a few simple ways to take care of yourself during the holiday.
How to Spend Canada Day While Separating
Holidays can bring up a mix of emotions, especially during a separation or divorce. While others are planning backyard parties or family getaways, you might be practicing a new routine, managing co-parenting schedules, or simply trying to keep your emotions in check.
It’s okay if Canada Day looks different this year. What matters most is taking care of yourself and creating space for healing. Whether you’re on your own or sharing the day with your children, small, intentional choices can bring comfort, clarity, and even joy.
Here are a few thoughtful ways to spend the day:
- Take a break from the paperwork. Step away from legal forms and to-do lists. Go for a walk, sit in a park, or simply enjoy a quiet moment at home. Give yourself permission to pause.
- Do something just for you. Make your favourite meal, listen to music, journal, or pick up a hobby you’ve been missing. Small acts of self-care can go a long way.
- If you have kids, focus on a calm, positive day. You don’t need big plans—watching fireworks, making crafts, or even a backyard picnic can feel special and reassuring for children.
- Reflect and reset. Canada Day can be a reminder of independence, not just for the country, but for your own journey. Use the time to check in with yourself and think about how you want your next chapter to unfold.
However you choose to spend the day, know that it’s okay to take it slow. Divorce Easy is here to support you. On Canada Day and every day—with empathy, understanding, and practical guidance.
