Dr. Karen Finn provides some important advice for anyone feeling the wide array of emotions that come with divorce in this article on YourTango: Dealing With Divorce Loneliness? Hug Yourself Happy.
First: Hug yourself. “There’s something especially comforting about hugs… and especially hugging myself can have fabulously calming and comforting results.”
Second: Acceptance. Loneliness is “a natural part of the healing process of divorce. Your life is changing in a pretty dramatic way, and it’s okay to feel lonely.” Talk about your emotions with people who are experienced with divorce, such as a therapist or a clergy member.
