I wrote this article for More magazine’s online edition. More magazine is a publication which celebrates women over 40. Men should also feel comfortable reading this article as it offers great insight into moving on – postdivorce; tips that apply to both men and women.

Life is like a book: some chapters are more difficult to get through than others. When I started living on my own again, I thought about how the new chapters of my own life were going to be written. I began to ask myself many questions. Can people actually be single and happy postdivorce? If they can, how do they achieve this? What is their secret? Is it like one of those new fad diets–just follow these few simple steps and, poof, a new you, easily transformed while you sleep? Or can you only reach that elusive goal of happiness when you find that perfect mate–your knight in shining armor or damsel in distress?

Think about how you would like your life to look like postdivorce and start doing some of those things now. You have choices and control. It’s up to you as to how this new chapter in your life is going to be written.

    There is so much to do and alot to read. Just going through this information is over whelming but I know now what I need to do. Organization is the key and how your thought process will help me through the worst time of my life. After 31 years of marriage you look out there and wonder where do I go from here and how do I do it. I will use your information to the best of my abilities and know there is a great future out there for me. I want to be one of those people who look at life and smile. All the events of my life will help me to enjoy what time I have left . Most of all happiness and joy. Thank you for sharing this with me and it will become my guide for a full and better life.

    I agree that divorce can and will be a very hard process to get through. But it is possible to get past it. It however will teach you many things along the way that you have not thought about. As being a learning tool. Your life is a great novel, some chapters are exciting and happy and some are painful and sad. But remember, you are the author. Only you can change the outcome of your future. And as a mother of the 3 children, I want to give them better information about how life should be. I want them to understand the kind of Love they need, so they don’t marry the wrong type of person and be unhappy. I want to give them a better example of what a Happy and truly Loving relationship looks like and feels like.

    “ What can I do to help stop my divorce” is a question that is on a lot of people’ s minds. By asking it, you are at least showing a token commitment to try and change things in your marriage for the better. Now remember, both spouses must agree to this…
