Single life adjustment need not take years. We noticed many that came to the class had been single for 2 or 3 years and their adjustment to single life was not progressing. Others came to the classes shortly after being widowed or divorced, well aware this was not going to be an easy journey. Already recognizing they needed help in adjusting and surviving a difficult time. They had difficulty finding direction to get on with an all new life.
Time is a great healer and eventually heals all things.
However, we pointed out that time is what life is made of. Therefore a decision needs to be made, do you want to eat up part of your life and just wait for time to cure all problems, or do you want to personally take charge of your adjusting and responsibility for getting on to a great new life. Once that decision is made, then it is a matter of learning what have others done, adjusting to and move on in short order to a bigger and better life. Figuring out quickly how you can adopt to these changes and practice making single life work. You will not be alone, you will join with groups of others making the same journey and together enjoy the trip.
