It is a death like no other. And the nights I spent alone without my children in my home when we first separated were some of the most painful I've ever spent. To this day, I can't think about them.
And to this day, my 23, 24, and 26 yr old sons can't talk about Dad leaving without tearing up a bit or closing down completely.
It is an epidemic that many don't realize even exists. The repercussions are generational. My mom and her 2 siblings were all devastated by their mother's 2 divorces. Not a single one of them is a fully functioning, reasonable adult.

one thing I remember growing up. With 7 siblings on my mom's side. All of them raised in an ultra religious home. Not a single divorce.
There were abortions, babies given up for adoption at a very young age, adultery, abuse.. But not a single divorce. As if that was a badge of honor or something.
When I heard of all of the stories and realized what they went through. Perhaps divorce would have been best for a few of them.
But I do encourage counseling and therapy if ever possible. The days of complete shaming someone to stay in an abusive, fornicating marriage should be over!
