How to Survive a Divorce

Your Guide on Navigating One of Life's Most Difficult Times

By: Vanesa Esperas

Narrated by: Hailey Knoll

Divorce is a lot like losing someone. It is the death of a marriage. It is a sheer and brutal act of abandonment. It is extremely personal. Even after the meanest separation or divorce that caught you off guard, you may achieve this level of self-acceptance and forgiveness. This doesn’t mean you deny what they did to you or run away from the pain. Instead, you allow yourself to experience it all—the guilt, shame, anger, and disappointment—and move through it.

Only once you have passed through the many emotional stages of a divorce can you allow a new life to unfold. If that’s how you’re feeling right now, this book is for you. In this book you'll learn the different stages of how to survive a divorce.

• Divorce is an emotional roller coaster.
• Sitting with your feelings to properly mourn your broken relationship.
• When is the proper time to rebuild and reinvent.
• The undeniable power of forgiveness.
• When to seek support, socialize, and reach out.
• Self-care--why you need it more than ever.
• Reconnect with your passions and hobbies.
• Recognize that life doesn't stop here; you will be ready to date again and have new beginnings.

Know that you will survive. It may take some time, but you will come out stronger, with a different perspective on life and what you look for in a partner. Some people will refrain from dating again after a divorce, understandably so, but don't lock that door. Leave it open just in case you decide you're ready. You deserve to be happy and in love again.
