Coming from someone who is not married and has not been divorced, I assume it must be an extremely difficult situation. Professional counseling sounds like the most logical step into getting the tools you need to overcome obstacles that come with the process of divorce. Professional therapy would also work best with having support from family, friends, office environment, and even small groups like church or online communities. Having a combination of professional and casual support I imagine would make a great combination in a big lifestyle transition.

Sounds like a challenging situation to me. I guess it may help to talk more about what exactly do you feel about your divorce. There is always a possibility that you need to express yourself and want to feel heard, which can actually help you heal and make you feel comfortable with your life at present.

Take some time to yourself. Do your own thing. If you find someone that makes you happy, that's great. Just don't rush and take your time.

If you still love the person then maybe work something out, if its possible. But whatever you feel would be best is up to you. Because only you can know yourself best and what your situation is truly like. I would wish the best for you though that you figure it out.

Time. Cut yourself some slack, a divorce is one of those major things in someone's life, so... it's OK to be sad etc... don't fight those feelings, and just let them be. At the same time do as many "active" activities as possible, join the gym, go for walks, hikes, do activities with friends. Time is the one and only cure, alas time . . . takes time. This too shall pass.

Have you considered undergoing professional counseling or therapy? Stay close to those who love and support you during this difficult time. Spend your free time with friends and family who make you laugh; people you have fun with. This way, you will distract your mind from any sadness, while feeling loved by your friends/family.

Your feelings are valid. It is normal to become stuck on someone who you were attached to so greatly. But you need to give yourself time. Give yourself an ample amount of time for reflection. Think about the relationship and why it ended. Remember that it ended for a reason and that a better future lies past this tough time. Learning from the experience is the best thing you can try to do if your mind is still focused on it. Try meditation and other ways to clear your mind and give you clarity.

Think of why the marriage did not work, accept that it was probably for the best, and that there is something out there better. However, don’t jump to another relationship, firstly, look after yourself and don’t rush things. Let things flow naturally.

Think about the beauty of marriage and not the beauty in the person. Learn to manage things, not everything can be positive around. So gear up, being single again is going to be an adventurous ride.

Living in the past is hard and during a divorce, we grieve as we would a death. There could be many complications moving forward such as children and unwinding the life that was created together. Its not easy, but start planning for your future and have something to look forward to each week. You can also limit the time you talk and see your ex so you do not compare your lives and how each has moved forward. Give it time and be patient with yourself. Talk it out and allow yourself to heal.

It's gonna be hard, obviously. And nothing's going to change overnight. But if there's someone who can help you out of this, it's you. Sure, if you need an outlet, talk to friends, talk to the listeners here, rant all you want. But at the end of the day, you'll have to be strong and help yourself out of this. Get a new hobby, or if you already have something, put your soul into it. This is your time to work on your self-development. To perfect the areas which you lack right now. Would help to divert your mind, as well as, you might end up being really good at your hobby, and might someday be earning through it. This is an experience. Learn. All the best!
