It was my choice to divorce, but still extremly traumatizing at the time.
I went deeply into my cocoon and healing/recovery work. I went to a year of therapy which was incredibly validating and insightful and moved to a new house after 10 months.
Finding a new home was crucial for me and very liberating.
I rented a small cottage for almost 2 years while looking for another home.
I loved it!
It was an incredibly healing place and a stepping stone to finding the home I am in now and have been for the last 5 years.
Some people can stay in the family home, but I found that, for me, a whole new enviroment was extremely healing and joyful to claim as all my own.
Rest a lot! The emotional roller coaster of separation and divorce and processing everything that needs to be processed is exhausting.
I often went to bed at 7 or 8 o’ clock and listened to my bodies signals.
If I was tired I slept. This is a time to reevaluate all of your self governed ” rules”, Ideas, beliefs and a process of alchemy.
You WILL emerge better, stronger, and infinitly wiser than ever before!
