Your Post-Divorce Journey Back to Yourself e-bog

No one gets married thinking that it will end. Spouses talk about their futures, growing old together, places they want to visit, their hopes, dreams and goals for themselves. If the marriage ends, does that mean we didnt work hard enough? Didnt try hard enough? Why couldnt I make it work? With your view of the future now gone, there will definitely be feelings of loss. Recovery will take time and will be a process. Youll also experience a lot of change. Friends will change, neighbors will view you differently, you may have to move to a new home and neighborhood, and your financial situation and your lifestyle may change.
