Reading books for escape, solace or self-help can also assist you in getting through this time. Two of my favorites are The Divorce Book by McKay, Rogers, Blades and Gosse or May Sarton's Journal of a Solitude . If you can read to laugh, I recommend anything by David Sedaris. Women often find that spending time in nature is soothing and healing for them. Perhaps you can make it a habit to visit the woods, beach or mountains.
Rituals are often helpful, no matter how small or simple, done alone or with others.
