Author and Speaker
We have all had those days, days when it just feels like everything is hopeless and there is really no point in getting out of the bed.
For those women over 50 that have been through the struggles of divorce this might seem even more difficult than it did when you were in your 30s but it is all in your attitude.
Often, getting up and out with friends can make a huge difference in the way that you both perceive yourself and in how you work through your divorce.
Are you thinking to yourself all my friends are married or I really don’t have many friends?
Look into networks that specialize in events for women. I have learned that events such as empowerment conferences draw women from all ages and walks of life.
Not only will you obtain valuable information and insight that can help you on your new journey and you will have a supportive group of like-minded friends who are willing and able to travel along side of you.
Women are social and nurturing by nature and great friends can become the support network you never knew you needed.
For those going through divorce or having recently come out on the other side of it, friends can give you the encouragement, the resilience, and the sense of self that you may have lost.
Try going out with friends to dinner, take in a show, or just spend some much needed time talking about what makes you wonderful to help lift your spirits and get through divorce.
