Cupid’s Advice:
Divorce represents not only the breaking up of a relationship, but the end of life as you know it. Cupid has some tips on how to pick up the pieces after a divorce:
1. Feel your pain: Healing after a divorce doesn’t mean putting on a brave face and pretending everything’s great. Recognize that you are in pain, and don’t ignore your feelings.
2. Take responsibility: Stop blaming your ex for everything that went wrong with your relationship, because it always takes two. You can begin the healing process when you accept responsibility for your own actions.
3. Talk to family and friends: After her divorce, Chris Evert found comfort in spending time with her children again. Lean on friends and family after a breakup to help you cope.
