How Do I rebuild my life after divorce?

So true about time. My ex-husband left me after 15 years for my best friend and i thought I’d never get past the anger. Six years later I’m still on my own and at age 63 am unlikely to meet anyone else but I’m totally cool about it. I’m now actually glad my ex has gone and someone else gets to put up with his drunkenness, his laziness and, of course, his manifest untrustworthiness. It helped of course that i got to keep my home and i had a job and friends. It was very hard at times, especially in the beginning but i can honestly say now I’m glad it happened and i wouldn’t change it now, even if i could. For all those ladies out there struggling with grief and rage, especially those of you with children, you won’t always feel like this. It’s a new start, hopefully of a better life in the long-term. Give yourself time and you might end up with a 360 degree change in your outlook.

GREAT POINTS! The first one is the toughest to accept, and the first thing that if we're able to accept it, will give us a better perspective, more self-control, and proper space to look inward to listen and get a dust-free picture of where we are at due to this crushing experience. It does shake you to the core, and rebounding only create more hurts. Accepting that time is needed for us to adjust and move forward, is something I need to remind myself every day.

her story is a lot like mine. I’ve done all the things that you recommend and I do hope that what you say is true about time. I’m doing the best I can and it’s very hard . separated since February final divorce in May, it’s only June. It’s a struggle.
