re: How do people cope with separation or divorce?

Get back to the basics.
Who are you?
What do you believe in?
What person do you want to be going forward?
Where do you want to be in 1 year? 5 years?
Do it.

This is the starting place but I will add to it.

Do not let this be a negative on you life that eats at you for the rest of your life. You cannot let a divorce beat you, you have to turn that divorce into a building block for who you are and what you want to be. Forget it and move on.

Immerse yourself into a new challenge. It may be enrolling in classes for something you have an interest but never thought you could do. Make this your personal challenge. There are two great side benefits of this. 1. You will be keeping your time and mind busy. 2. You will be in a new environment with new people to give you a whole new perspective of life around you.

Lastly, when your mind will not let it go, remind yourself you will not let someone not in your life have that control over you.
