Cupid’s Advice:

We know that divorce is not easy. And unfortunately, for some of us, it’s a time where we undergo a deep sadness. Cupid has some tips on getting through a hard divorce, and most of it is mental:

1. Know that you are sure about the divorce: Sometimes love can blind us, but it is important to know the reason for the divorce and that it is in fact the right decision. Try your best to skip any denial stage to make it easier for yourself. Think things through, analyze and examine your situation. But don’t overdo it to the point you’re blaming yourself or driving yourself crazy.

Things can look hopeless and that can drag you into a downward spiral. It is important to find the good in all the bad situations we’re in, no matter how small it may be. Just know that you are going through a hard time right now that will make you stronger, and the future holds something much better. Positive thinking goes a long way.

As for emotionally, don’t overwork yourself mentally. Give yourself a break to relax. Also, if you don’t want to be alone during this time, then don’t be. Reach out to family and friends. It’s okay.
