About Lena Whiteside

Hi, I’m Lena Whiteside, founder of Thrive After GoodBye. After overcoming my own painful divorce, I felt called to create a healing space where others could feel safe, seen, and supported. I believe life after divorce is not the end—it’s the beginning of something more joyful, resilient, and meaningful.

Through Thrive After GoodBye, I help people rediscover their purpose, rebuild their confidence, and reclaim the life they deserve. Together, we rise—stronger than before.

What Is Thrive After GoodBye?

Thrive After Good-Bye is a divorce recovery group for individuals aged 40 and older who are navigating emotional healing, rebuilding their identity, and learning to love life again.

Whether your divorce happened recently or years ago, this group offers:

  • Bi-weekly support meetings
  • Reflective exercises
  • A compassionate, judgment-free community

It’s a space to move forward with hope, clarity, and connection.

Common Topics We Explore

  • Rediscovering your purpose after divorce
  • Letting go of guilt and emotional baggage
  • Building new relationships—with others and yourself
  • Reclaiming your voice and setting healthy boundaries
  • Embracing self-care, creativity, and new beginnings

Why Join a Divorce Support Group After 40?

Going through a divorce in your 40s, 50s, or beyond brings unique emotional, financial, and identity challenges. At Thrive After Good-Bye, we understand:

  • The feeling of starting over when everyone else seems settled
  • The emotional grief and confusion that lingers after separation
  • The desire for connection with others who truly get it

This is a safe, nurturing space to be real, reflect, and rebuild.

Who Is Thrive After Good-Bye For?

This group is designed for women and men over 40 who are:

  • Recently divorced or still healing from a past separation
  • Feeling isolated or uncertain about what’s next
  • Longing for self-discovery and emotional freedom
  • Open to healing in a community of empathy and encouragement
  • Ready to take small, powerful steps toward a new life

What to Expect at Bi-Weekly Meetings

Each Thrive After Good-Bye session is centered around a theme that supports emotional growth and healing. Activities may include:

  • Guided reflections and vision exercises
  • Group discussions and storytelling
  • Meditation, journaling, and mindset work
  • Laughter, connection, and uplifting support

We cry. We laugh. We heal. We grow—together.
