Jean, 38 living with her two young
children, was recently divorced. She asks this question for many
of us:
"How long the pain and anger
from my divorce are going to last? Is there any typical way to
recover and rebuild a new life for me and my children?"
|
This is Aunt Betty's response. What is yours? Do not agree with her
too quickly!
Jean,
.... If you are just beginning your
path to a single-again life, you probably will
experience many challenges along the way like most of us did. Challenges come in various
shapes and sizes. Although there is no typical way or solution apply to every
situation, you may be able to find a set of personal "best fit"
managing skills
by some trial and error.
The important thing to remember is that you are the person holding the
key that opens the door to a new life. It takes tremendous
determination and courage to not escape from this responsibility.
Sometimes you may need to confront a problem much bigger than you
by breaking it into small tasks and deal with them one by one. The other time you may
want to find help from
resources outside yourself. Most likely you will need a safe place or
trusting person you can talk to or "steam out" without being judged. Once you have stumbled through the worst of the
pain and agony
from the loss, you will be able to find a new identity and opportunities it
presents.
I want to encourage you to forge ahead. Make the process to new life a
life's "reality show". Learn to see each problem along the way as an
opportunity sharpening your problem-solving skill. Turn your daily
challenges into drills that may lead you and your children to the road of
recovery and growth.
Good luck and God bless you!
Sincerely,
Betty
