Going through a divorce is one of the most challenging things you will do in your life, even when done respectfully.
You are now divorced, and suddenly reality hits. You come home from work, and there is no one to share the highs and lows of the day. You have to do things that your partner used to do and learn again how to do it. You want to go out for dinner, but who do you ask. Most of your recent friends are people you hung out with as couples.
You will need to make time to grieve. You have many questions and concerns that working through will help you begin letting go.
Read MoreGoing through a divorce is tough, even when done compassionately.
All your emotions are close to the surface, and you are angry at life. You expected to be in this relationship until death.
You are grieving what could have been. You are losing your partner with who you could share your day. It feels so lonely now.
It now feels awkward to go out with couples who you used to hang out with together. Over time you will discover who you are, your real friends.
You are responsible for everything in your household. It is easy to feel overwhelmed.
Childcare is now a lot more complicated. You suddenly find yourself as a single parent; you are exhausted. You are embarrassed to ask for help.
You are feeling angry at your spouse and probably mad at yourself. You ask yourself, why did I put up with the behaviour of this person for so long? What did I do wrong? Why didn't I see this coming months ago?
If there were an affair by one of you, feelings of betrayal would magnify your emotions even more. You will feel angry, enraged, hurt, sad and disappointed. You will have many reasons to be angry at life.
Moving through a divorce into new life takes time. The only way to move through this tumultuous time is to experience your sadness, hurt, anger and disappointments. Hiding from your pain is only going to make it worse in the long run.
