Getting through a divorce can be one of the most daunting experiences
you are ever faced with. The feelings of loss and failure, sadness and
anger can overwhelm even the strongest of personality types. David
Kushner, co-founder of DivorceForce.com, offers these strategies for navigating life after a divorce.
Look For Support
As your marriage status changes, dynamics may shift with some relationships that were built around the old family structure in your life. Leaning on loyal friends and family for support is essential when coping with the devastation of divorce. Many support groups and online forums specifically devoted to life after divorce are also available. Sharing feelings and frustrations with those who have similar situations can build bonds that are essential as you begin living a new life.
Look Forward to a Brighter Future
The grief of a divorce can be overwhelming, but keep in mind that the marriage itself most likely wasn’t healthy and happy to begin with. A new future is on the horizon, as is a new way of living life. Dwelling on the failure of the marriage will only make the path to a new found happiness more difficult and while change is difficult, it is also a necessary step when embarking on a new chapter in life.
