initiating a final goodbye

My wife initiated our divorce after 27 years of marriage. We filed a joint petition and have been living together until the house sold. She's moving out of state and we'll only see each other occasionally for the kids or grandkids.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to communicate better with my wife during our marriage."
If I could tell you one thing
"If you're considering a final goodbye, suggest it together to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings."
