Dr. Katherine M. Hertlein: 5 Things You Need To Know To Survive And Thrive After A Divorce

Be patient with yourself. Divorce or separation is a significant life event. In addition to the change in schedules, living situation, and other physical changes, the emotional changes can be difficult and wash over you at times you might not expect. Be patient with yourself and recognize the massive change unfolding before you.
