You can reinforce how very much both of you love your daughter and that this has nothing to do with her nor did she cause this. and that sometimes mommy's and daddy's make better friends , doesn't mean they love her anyless and they will always be there for her. and she can see Daddy and you all the time. and instead of having one xmas she'll have to and instead of having one birthday she'll have two etc... She's probably afriad of the unknown just as the grown ups are feeling both of you will be starting out on your own and you could fear that you will be all alone in life and may never get another chance.
Its normal for people to feel this way. I would keep reassuring her and keep her life very structured and in a routine to keep her comfortable.

I went through a divorce when my children were 6 and 8. My 6 yr old wouldn't talk to her dad. My son reacted like your daughter. I tried to keep everything at home as normal as possible and their dad got them every other weekend. Do some of her favorite things with her and explain to her that both of you still love her. I'm sorry you have to go through this, I know it's rough.

Be there for her 24/7 make sure she knows how much you love her, and the divorce is not her fault.

It depends on why you are divorcing. You should be sure you are doing the right thing and you won't know that unless you had counseling. Of course, she's devastated. Counseling will help her too whatever you decide. Adults are oftentime*****holes when they put their "happiness" above the happiness of their children they brought into this world.

If it were me, I would just make sure that both parents spend quality time with her doing things she enjoys. Show her that even though the two of you are not together that both of you still love her. Kids are pretty resilient and can handle a lot but sometimes they just need reinforcement.

Reassure your daughter that you and her fatheer will always Love her and be there for her. Also make sure she understand that you two are divorceing each other and not her and that it is NOT her fault. Make sure you ARE there for her and show lots of love!!

Remind her that it's not her fault and that you both love her as much as ever. Also, let her have input into what's happening so she doesn't feel left out and so she understands her opinion doesn't count for nothing.

Make sure she spends equal amounts of time with both you and your husband.

Get her a pet. It might cheer her up to knoe that she's not exactly alone. Or, take her out somewhere where she can enjoy herself.
