Surviving a gray divorce is much like surviving any other divorce. First, make sure you have a financial plan in place. You may need to cut spending or look for ways to decrease your overall cost of living for a period of time. Second, create a plan for insurance coverage, medical care, and your other needs. Grieve the end of your marriage, but make sure that you maintain your health, spend time with friends, and spend more time with family, including your children. Finally, avoid jumping into another relationship immediately after the end of your marriage, which could cause you to wind up in a potentially detrimental scenario that will leave you more devastated than before.
