re: How do people cope with separation or divorce?

Be active- workout or get the energy out.

Be social in a healthy non-drinking way.

Therapy- group or individual.

Be reflective but not wallow/self-hating or hating of her. It didn’t work out but sometimes that’s what happens. Would coulda shoulda only to the extent that you both could have done better/differently. Embrace it as positive as can and try to move on.
