I came across a fantastic website today, for all those people that are going through a divorce. It’s called wikivorce. It’s full of interesting information from like minded people that will help soften the blow that is ‘Divorce’.

Divorce can leave you feeling horried, whether you are the one being divorced or the one doing the divorcing. It’s never easy, it’s always personal and can be deeply wounding. The main thing to appreciate though, is that it is not the end of the world. It may well feel that way, you may feel crushed, subjugated, worn out and seemingly unable to function correctly. You may even begin to doubt your sanity as you wrestle with very real feelings of hurt, duplicity, sorrow, grief and anger.

For what it’s worth, you won’t always feel this way, it will get better. Seek out the help of your GP, they might be able to help you find a good counsellor or at least reassure you that what you are feeling is absolutely normal and understandable. Talk with your friends, your family, but above all, recognise that however unpleasant it seems right now, however much you may be agonising over your children and your loss, it does not last forever.

Don’t allow it to consume you, don’t try and find escape through a bottle or drugs. Do something positive with what you feel, channel it into a form of exercise, join a gym or go for a swim, buy a bike and go for a cycle, go for a run, you’ll be amazed at how much better you’ll feel for it. How do I know, am I a professional? The short answer is no, my only qualification is that I’m going through it. I know what it feels like, I know how much it all hurts. So keep at it, never give up, it does get better.
