The Divorced Woman's Guide to life after divorce

Going through a divorce is never easy, but it also does not mean that our life is over, especially if we find ourselves in our 40's. Take it from me..... I survived it.

The reason for my first divorce, yes, I said first, was because both my ex-husband and I made the mistake of putting other things, people and situations before our relationship.

I remarried after my divorce and currently I am going through a separation after only a few years. Am I heartbroken? Of course I am. Am I sad? Of course I am!....... Am I hurting? Of course I am but I am not 'suffering' because suffering is optional..... and we know that....... Will I survive this latest? Of course I will.

My immediate survival guide: - Proven to work-

Reach out to family and friends.  There is no shame in making a mistake. No one is perfect, not even us.

It's ok to feel sad, just don't stay there....... Do something you haven't done in a long time. Something you love.... and do it passionately! ...... Do something silly! Dance naked in the middle of the living room to some music when you were half your age.......

Take a moment out of your day to see the things you have not noticed before.... or have control over..... the sun, the stars, the moon....... gifts given to you for free!

Stay in your pj's all day..... don't do any housework..... take a long nap...... give yourself a facial...... listen to music..... watch cartoons....... write on your journal...... make a list of all the dreams you had before you married and start a to do list......

Keep it simple......... and one day at a time....... Like me you will get through it.

With you in love and light, always and in ALL ways,
