Getting through a divorce can be devastating. Now, you are faced with decisions that need to be made by yourself. Do you have the strength to do it?
The following are a few tips to get you, a single parent, through one of the toughest times in your life.
· First, develop a support network – people you can depend on today. This group should include trusted friends and family.
· Be emotionally available for your children who need you more than ever.
· Stop and grieve. It’s okay to express your feelings out loud. This will help you to move on.
· Make some “alone time” for yourself. It is important in the healing process – a time when you are not responsible for anyone except yourself.
· Do not neglect your health. Remember to eat healthy and exercise instead of sitting in front of the television.
· Don’t dwell on what is not working. Sit yourself down and decide how you can change the habits that did not work well for you.
· Be positive. It may not always be easy, but a positive attitude can help you move ahead.
· Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Sharing with a friend or family member can set a new purpose to your life.
