If you are feeling alone or worried about being alone after divorce, there are things you can do to help stay busy and keep some of the loneliness you may feel at bay. It is normal to feel a little lonely once you and your partner have separated, however being lonely forever does not have to be your new life. There are plenty of ways to get out and meet others, making meaningful relationships that will last. Ultimately, remember that you have to choose happiness over divorce. Your life during and after divorce is what you make of it. You choose whether you wallow in it or rise above it. You choose how much you carry with you on a daily basis. You choose if you learn and grow or keep looking behind you. No one else has that power, not the ex, not the attorneys, not your friends or family, you, and only you, get to decide that."
