Going through a divorce can be a lengthy, expensive process.
It can also leave you emotionally drained, physically exhausted, and psychologically weak.
But what about when it is finally over? What should you do next? If your divorce has gone on for more than a year you will probably have a difficult time remembering what a normal life can be like.
You may have been through numerous legal proceedings and other unpleasant settings to decide all of the details that go into the ending of a contractual agreement.
If you have children the process was even more unbearable to handle.
Even in your ex-spouse was agreeable to many things, divorce is still tough to get through in one emotional piece.
Now that the legalities are over with you must start your life over again in many ways.
Experts agree that you should use caution when getting out there again.
You don't want to end up in a situation with someone new that you are not yet ready for.

• Don't feel pressured to date again.
  It is perfectly normal for you to prefer the company of friends to that of someone of the opposite sex.
  It may feel strange to go out on a date if you had been married for many years.
  
• Seek the company of friends and family.
  They will be supportive and are there for you if you want to talk about the divorce.
  
• Try to get over any anger or blame you have toward your ex-spouse, yourself, or the situation.
  Don't beat yourself up for the fact that your marriage did not work out.
  Find the inner peace that you need to feel good about yourself again.
  

Getting divorced is never a simple process.
Give yourself time to think about what you want to do next.
Seek counseling if you feel that it would help.
Think about the positive things in your life, such as family, career, your health, or anything else that you can view as an accomplishment.
Your life will do on after the divorce and you want to be present for whatever you decide to do next.
