First, I would recommend to let your emotions out. Cry as much as you need, if you can take short vacations at work and give yourself time to pass it. The next step prepare for the new stage of life, go shopping with friends, cut and paint your hair, unique style helps to find new love. The 3rd stage try something new what would bring you good emotions, maybe you wanted to try yoga, or dancing, or painting or anything that would make you happier and would occupy your minds. Don't be in rush to fall in a new relationship enjoy this time, you not need someone to feel happy. XO

You are recently divorced and feeling a sense of great loss. That is completely understandable. Anyone in your shoes would feel the same way. Having experienced many break ups, I would suggest that you take a step back, focus on yourself. Revive your own energy. I would suggest that you try to leave the relationship with as few grudges as possible and with as much dignity as possible. This would help you view yourself in a positive light. Try not to remember the bitter aspects but take the fond memories along with you as you move on. It is crucial that you allow as much positivity in your life as you can at this moment where you might be feeling vulnerable. Strive to discard negativity and respect yourself enough

time heals every wound dear and I know how hard it is to let go things that you were attached so so much.. but that change can prove to be a good! don't lose hope and stay positive . try to engage yourself in activities so that you can stay diverted from those thoughts and yes meet up with people around you, make new friends, spend time with them, don't think what happened with you just think what you really have to do and be a different personality... Most important is self love! so love yourself and stay happy !

Sometimes, it can be hard to get over a long-term relationship. Regardless of who called for the divorce, it is painful for both sides. It signals the final end to a relationship. But not just any relationship, a relationship that had whitnessed and one that had a ceremony to begin a new chapter in the relationship.
When any relation goes sour, it can be hard not to point fingers or wonder what you did that was wrong or caused the end of it. It is important to remember that both sides have played a role in this and that no one person is perfect.
I have not been through a divorce myself, but I grew up as a child with parents that have been divorced. As an adult, I realise that not every relationship is going to end “happily ever after.†As much as you may want a relationship to work out - or in my case, my parents to be together - it may be best for the two to split up. It can be more beneficial especially if it is a toxic relationship. I found that my parents were better off as friends than married. It made them both better people and parents to myself.
Many people going through a divorce find it difficult at first. It is not an easy process by any means. However, focusing on the good things about the relationship, what would have happened if you had stayed together, would both parties have been in complete happiness, will you be better people now that you are divorced, will the relationship be better if you are not married. Thinking differently about the divorce may help you to heal and move forward in life. You willl never forget your marriage - and no one should ask you to do this. What you can do is take the positive memories you do have and let them live on in your heart.

Divorce is very hard to get over. Especially if there are kids involved. It takes time to heal emotional wounds than physical wounds. I've seen a lot of my friends who are now divorced with children. They are emotionally drained in the beginning. Because they have to explain to their children the reasons why they have to be spending weekends with their father in a different house. Divorce is messy also. It's a long legal battle. Take it one day at a time. Keep positive thoughts and a positive attitude. It will get better. You just have to give yourself enough time to heal. Talk to friends and family about how you feel or consider therapy. It helps a lot.

Know that it is okay to be experiencing feelings of sadness or possibly jealousy. Take as much time as you need in order to process your feelings. Try joining a community group that discuss it. The more support the better! 7 Cups community chat or be it a real life one if you prefer real life talks.
Talk to somebody on a consistent basis of it. Be it a therapist, listener or friend. Know that asking for help takes a lot of courage by itself! Journaling your feelings also helps and it will help you be more clear to yourself about your feelings.

I got a divorce after being married for 18 years. It came as quite a shock. If it wasn't for my friends and family, I don't know what I would have done.
I really relied on their sympathy, support, and understanding. I didn't know it, but some of my friends were going through the same things I went through. It really helped to be able to talk it out. Whenever I felt alone, I would call a friend or a family member.
I was eventually able to move on. It took a while, but I remained strong and determined. I believe we are all capable of moving on in our own ways. Talk to friends. Take your time. Allow yourself to grieve. Most importantly, be kind to yourself.

You have taken the first step. It's courageous of out to reach out to 7 cups, to me, and I am honored to support you. Like you, I have been divorced, and like you, I didn't really know how to get over it, especially at first. I'm wondering if you are feeling lonely, disconnected from your former life. I'm wondering if you miss your familiar routine. Your bravery in reaching out tells me that you have tremendous resources within you to call upon. Can you think of some of the ways in which being on your own is rewarding?

getting over someone once you use to live with is such a overwhelming experience one have to overcome in life. I do not have such experience about things like relation and how can you overcome them though i believe there is always path that you have not walk yet the way that await for you the path of light that will bring you peace and hope in the time of darkness. Traveling to the new place can be a way or going for morning yoga class if you can not afford big change. Small thing can have impact and can have positive effect.

Divorce can be a difficult life changing circumstance. After experiencing divorce, it is common to feel stuck or feel like you are unable to move past it, unable to move on with your life. While the situation may seem undesirable, it actually present you with an opportunity to reflect on what you want out of life, what you want to make your new start about. You can start by asking yourself 1) What is it that I feel stuck on or feel like I can't get over? (i.e. Is it missing having a relationship, is it a lack of direction, or something else? What is it?) 2) Is there something I want that I'm not getting? 3) How can I provide that for myself in my new circumstances? 4) How do I see myself living a fulfilled life post-divorce? 5) What steps can I put in place to realistically attain that level of fulfillment? Once you answer these questions, you may have more clarity on what you feel and what is the best decision for you going forward.
