Here are 8 tips that may help your transition.

Let yourself mourn:  Some people are afraid to expose their weaknesses even to themselves. You can fall apart! Cry, scream, yell, throw things and let it go.

Work through your feelings: Don't avoid yourself. Face your pain and eventually things get a little easier day by day.

Learn to like yourself: What's so wrong with you? You are awesome!

Rediscover who you used to be: Family was your main priority and over the years you became last. Go find yourself!

Discover a new side of yourself: There is nothing wrong with trying something new. It can actually be quite refreshing. 

 Dare to be alone: I challenge you to spend a day with yourself. You just might enjoy it.
​
Consider transitional relationships: Once you feel ready, build a friendship with someone who is not your type and chances of you creating a rebound relationship are slim.

Embrace your new roles: You've depended on your spouse and now all of a sudden you are responsible for it all. Get your game plan together, it's you against the world!
