There’s no question that divorce can be painful and that it’s difficult not only to trust but also to love again. However, there are ways to get past the pain. Here’s some advice that you may find useful while trying to heal your heartbreak:

• In time, it’s important to put the pain behind you and move forward with your life. Otherwise, you’re giving away your power to the people who hurt you.

• Sometimes the relationship you need to rescue is the one with yourself. Moving past a breakup is about you, not your ex.

• Grief is a process to go through, not a destination in which to wallow. In a process, you keep putting one foot in front of the other, and each little step is part of your healing.

• Learn to trust again. Whenever you get involved in a relationship, you know that there’s a risk. Don’t let a bad experience keep you from living your life.
