Valentine’s Day can trigger distress among divorcees. Fret not.
Here we have come up with the simple strategies helping you make this day

After a divorce, you need time to recover from the trauma of a
failed marriage. And an arrival of Valentine’s Day can reopen the wounds that
have started healing just now. Therefore, February 14th may make you feel more
pain, loneliness and confusion. This occasion can make you cynical due to your
changed outlook towards relationships.
Instead of being in stress and pain throughout the day, you can
use these tips to survive Valentine’s Day.
Become a Gift Donor:
Rather than spoiling your mood for not receiving any gift this
Valentine's, be the gift giver. You can give gifts to your family members and
friends who stand beside you in this stressful event. It will not only give you
an inner peace, but also share your loneliness. So, wait no more and prepare
the list of your beloved ones who deserve a gift from you. Try to hand deliver
as many gifts as you can so you will be busy throughout the day.
Take Your Single Friends on a Night Out:
Instead of cursing Valentine, make the most of this occasion by
taking your single friends for a fun night out. It is possible that you may
find someone to share your loneliness.
Burn Those Old Love Letters Making You Feel Pain:
There is no use to keep
those old love letters that hurt you. So, it is better if you burn them one by
one in a bonfire and watch the flames go up. It will encourage you to be
carefree as everything is over. In this way, this “pain cleansing ritual”
gives you relief and makes your Valentine’s Day special.
Join a Single Event If you are Ready to Move On:
Valentine’s Day can be an opportunity to kick starts a new
relationship! All you need to do is look on community websites or in the local
paper to find advertised events or just ask around at the office, church or any
other place you visit frequently. You can also check the online dating sites.
However, you must take time if you are not mentally prepared to
start a new relationship.
Pamper Yourself:
“I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my
affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.” Psalm 31:7 NIV
Love yourself. Take care of yourself. It gives you inner relief
and helps you recover from guilt ridden psyche. You can visit spa, try yoga
classes and go for bungee jumping. It is your life and you have every right to
make it joyful. Or buying yourself a chocolate is also a great idea.
Plan to Visit a Friend:
We tend to forget our worries and pain in the joyful company of
friends. So, it is a good idea to visit your friends this valentine. Or you can
plan a trip with them.
With these simple things,
you can survive Valentine’s Day after your divorce. Be happy and thankful for
all that is good in your life.
