Some of you are still having a difficult time getting past your divorces. There is good reason to feel that way but at some time you will need to put it all to rest.
You need to realize that divorce is like a death. Just like experiencing a death, you need to take time to grieve.
I have a suggestion, if this applies to you. First of all, do some homework on what the grieving process involves.
Then, start a journal. Set aside some time every day to write in your journal. Make sure that you keep your journal in a safe place where no one else can find it. You need to make sure your written thoughts are kept private.
Give yourself permission to write about your feelings of fear, anger, anxiety, abandonment and pain. If your mourning does not begin to improve in time, you might want to seek professional help.
On the other hand, most likely you will begin to see that the early pages in your journal are more negative than the recent entries. Even if your progress is slow, it is still progress. The best part is when you compare your first journal to the 2nd or 3rd, you won’t believe how much you have evolved.
Take pride in the fact that you are adjusting to a big change in your life and you are evolving and learning to exist in a better place.
