20 Little But Powerful Reminders That Life Goes On After Divorce

Clarity is hard to come by when you’re in the middle of a divorce. Your emotions are running high, your legal bills are mounting and you can’t help but wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

Though you might feel a little wobbly now, eventually you will get through it. Take it from those who’ve been there. Earlier this week, we asked HuffPost Divorce readers to share with us the one thing they wish they could go back and tell themselves in the midst of their splits. See some of the most inspiring responses below.

1. “I would tell myself ‘You are doing the right thing. Yes, it’s tough now, but it will get better.'”

2. “Don’t waste so much time being sad. You will regret that sadness robbed you of joyful times with your little boy.”

19. “Focus on the positive and remember why you’re in the midst of the chaos to begin with.”

20. “Know that the hurt and pain will pass one day. Forgive him so you can heal. Don’t say anything negative about your ex in front of the kids. Be respectful when dealing with him. Believe it or not, one day, you’ll be able to laugh with him again.”
