How do you cope with divorce?

Answer 1

Maybe they can get back together or keep going in life. If you are referring to life after a divorce, group counseling has been shown to be very effective. Also, talk to someone, people can help you!

Answer 2

• My personal opinion is that you must realize, the marriage evidently started the dying process long ago. The divorce is just the burial. Therefore, you have to expect that there is going to be a grieving process that follows, and that is normal. Time will heal your heart, your emotions, your wounds, etc. In the mean time, this is a time to start looking toward the future. What has been done is done and nothing you can do is going to bring it back. There is nothing you can do that is going to change the past. Cut the rope and let it slide and look ahead, not back. In addition (and as hard as it may be), you must forgive. Holding on to regrets, resentment, hate, anger, will only make you emotionally and physically drained. I would recommend that you try to keep yourself busy. It will help take off the edge. Try to develop a vision for yourself; a clearly articulated picture of the future you now intend to create for yourself. Move forward, develop the will to change circumstances, develop a vision (a goal or objective), then develop a road-map leading you to that goal or objective. Then it's just 100% commitment on your part. Listen, I know it's not easy, I have been there myself so I know it hurts. Still, you will bounce back, I promise. It's like throwing a rubber ball. It will always bounce back. It may bounce back in a different direction, but it will always bounce back. Take courage, try not to dwell on the past, and you will heal. You very possibly may find yourself in a better place through the experience.
• Divorce can be a trauma to most women because the responsibility of starting their life over again when they are use to financial security or, if they have children, but some men are included in this as well. Most couples when they take their vows on their wedding day do plan to live happily ever after and all couples are hoping for a long and prosperous life together 'until death do you part.' Unfortunately, the percentage of divorce is very high in the United States and Canada. In many cases one person in the course of divorce is still in love with the other which makes it a painful reality to them. In ways divorcing is much like a grieving process of losing a loved one to death because it is the death of a once happy marriage with fond memories and often leaves one partner wondering what happened and they may well blame themselves for the divorce. This can also lead to the partner in pain losing confident in themselves and feel overwhelmed because they may worry about finances and trying to start their life over again and, if there are children involved they can feel overwhelmed about keeping their children safe; happy; dealing with possible problems of joint custody. The person dealing with the divorce has to rely on family and friends; speak to their Pastor if need be and take baby steps to a better future for themselves. There is no easy way to cope with divorce, but many people do it quite successfully and it takes time and a little help from family and friends. As time goes by the person will cope well and realize there is still a good future ahead of of them and often meet someone special that will be in their lives. A bad divorce should never make a woman detest men nor men detest women because all women and men are not alike.

ANSWER:

Very easy, first ask yourself if this is what you wanted, then talk to your family, your priest if your Catholic like me, or Pastor. Then the big event is talking to your children and explain to them what's going on and what needs to be done. Before you know it, your life will be back on track. People will say that it will make you sad, I don't think so, but I guess we are all different and our problem is never the same. I want to wish you luck and may God watch over you...
