Honestly, there is nothing better than this moment. I wish I could hold onto it forever. 🥹 Being away from your kids for several days at a time is so hard especially at the beginning. But I promise you, it gets easier. Soon you won’t be a complete mess. You’ll pick yourself up off the floor and start living again. Slowly. But I promise you, it will get easier. Here are a few things that have helped me when my kids are away: - Stay busy. And I don’t mean avoiding your feelings. Feel them but don’t let them consume you. Do things that keep you productive, even if it’s just an hour a day. -Move your body. My favorite form movement in the beginning was yoga. I had full on breakdowns during a couple sessions and it was the most healing experience I’ve ever had. -Take yourself on a date. Go to dinner at a restaurant by yourself. Get dressed up. You deserve to eat a meal for you and treat yourself to something nice. Not sure what to do at a restaurant by yourself? Sit at the bar, meet someone new or bring a book or listen to a podcast. Don’t worry, no one is looking at you and feeling bad for you. Get out of your own head and live. There are a few other things I could add and I’ll share them another time but please know that it gets easier. It won’t happen overnight but it will happen. Take it one day at a time. Maybe even one moment at a time but I promise it gets easier. ❤️ #singlemom #singlemomlife #divorcedmom #divorcecommunity #divorceadvice #healingjourney
