dance a little
buy yourself a cake
call everyone you know
send out divorce announcements
sing the Hallelujah chorus
finally set a wedding date to marry your second husband (but the FIRST good one)
becuase you've waited 1.5 yrs for this day!
break the bride and groom champagne glasses you still have packed away in a trunk
look in the mailbox for alimony check
toast champagne to "new beginnings"
:)

you take things one day at a time and try to heal and start to get past the pain of the divorce and what has happened. Stay positive and keep your chin up no matter what and if you have a hard time coping or moving on with your life Seek counseling and help for how you are feeling...Also a divorce recovery workshop is good and helpful as well. You also would benefit by meeting new people and making new friends.

Its not easy for anyone to cope after divorce. Everyone takes this dilemma differently to ease their pain and the memories, good or bad to be a learning experience of what to do in a relationship.

after a divorce, we can easily get discouraged about life, and our circumstances, or we can deal wit it by changing our thoughts. don't meditate on the negative.the wrong attitude keeps us from getting through it. if we put our trust in god, rather than our circumstances we can overcome anything. its mainly our own perception of the thing that has hurt us that keeps us down. bitterness is a choice we can choose or not choose. its what we believe about our bad circumstances that makes our future, not necessarily the circumstances. if we would just allow god to handle it and not fret over it, it all works out for us. we want to avoid the pain but we really need to go through it, because after we have gone through the fear, anger, hurt, will we be able to see that this crisis has remade us into a wiser, deeper, happier person than we use to be.

Spend some quality time with yourself: listening to music, walking, crying, working out, doing a project that you have been putting off, get to know and understand yourself. It also helps to talk about your ex and make fun of them to your friends. (Laughing is better than crying)
Objectively look at what went wrong in the marriage and take responsibility for the wrong you did. You also have to come to terms with the fact that the other person might never realize that they did anything wrong.
DON'T go drinking because your friends tell you to and don't sleep with anyone else for a while.
Sounds kinda weird doesn't it. But it works

Suck it up, eat some grits, go to the gym and go to church. That's what worked for me.
