Healing First: The Foundation Matters

Divorce leaves scars. It’s normal to feel broken. But healing is the first step before you jump back into dating.

Give yourself time.
“Rushing into a new relationship after divorce often backfires,” says Dr. Lisa Firestone, a relationship expert.

Healing means letting go of the past and forgiving yourself and your ex. It’s not about forgetting — it’s about moving forward.

• Example: Think of healing like clearing out a messy room. You can’t bring in new furniture until the space is clean.

Take up a new hobby, reconnect with friends, or see a therapist. This helps you rediscover who you are.
