'You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle,' she said, noting that she could not handle what was out there, and that what was out there wasn't the hard part—the hard part was the fact of it.
She also emphasized the value of her support network, saying she makes a big effort to see her people because that's where resilience lives. Garner's honesty underscores how relationships and community carry you through even the toughest times.
While fans look forward to the ongoing projects and the ongoing conversation about her life after divorce, Garner's reflections offer a rare glimpse into the emotional truth behind a highly public breakup, reminding readers that friendship and partnership can endure even when couples part ways.
