When a couple gets married, they always believe that they’ll live happily ever after; the end. Many times, this is true, but many times, it isn’t. You do all you can to be a good wife, a good husband, a good couple, but sometimes despite your best efforts the marriage ends in a divorce. And then what do you do with all the stuff that you accumulated together?
Before we talk about that, let’s remember that grieving is a tough thing to get through. Experts say that the grief that comes from a divorce can be similar to that of a death. Before you can even begin sorting through your belongings, there are a few things you can do to help yourself get back your strength and composure so that you can handle the next phases of the divorce process.
Find Support
Lean on the friends that you have; those who understand you and what you are going through. It is true that divorcees often have some friends who turn away, but you need to stick to those who want to see you overcome this tragedy. Seek out support groups and even look to members of your church who can lift you up in such a down time.
Know Yourself
Now that you are one person again, as opposed to being part of a couple, you’ll need to rediscover who you are, or once were. This is a time when you can draw on your inner strength to know that you will overcome this loss and you will come out better on the other side. Maybe you want to embark on a new career, or try a new hobby that your marriage held you back from trying. Consider this a new adventure that is all about you.
Start Fresh
You and your spouse have spent years, maybe a lot of years, making your house into a home. You’ve picked out furniture together, shopped for decorative items, even collaborated on the paint scheme. You’ve slept on the same king-sized bed and sat on the oversized couch together. He bought you a new handbag each year for your birthday and now you have quite a collection. She bought you a new tie each year for Christmas and now you have too many. You both set up a dynamic home gym with top-of-the-line equipment. There are so many memories that are connected to your possessions, the best thing you can do is let them go and start fresh.
