What are some ways to deal with the aftermath of a divorce announcement?
Cupid’s Advice:
Going through a divorce is difficult, but trying to deal with it once it’s official is a whole new experience. Since moving on can be harder than you expected, Cupid offers some advice:
1. Express your feelings: In order to heal, you must speak about your feelings with someone you trust, instead of keeping them bottled up.
2. Activities: Stay busy by participating in activities or picking up new hobbies. When you’re engaged in something, you’re less likely to think about your divorce.
3. Travel: Take advantage of being single by traveling wherever you want to go. This experience will make you feel less lonely, and you only have to worry about yourself in the planning process.
