Hello everyone:

So, your marriage is over or your dearly beloved spouse has died. Where do you go from here? That’s a great question and it’s one that only you can answer.

First things first, however. You need to adjust to your new normal, whatever that is. Don’t rush into things too quickly. Yes, the swing next to you on the playground is empty, like the gal in this picture, but make sure that you have your own life together before you add anyone new to it. Baggage can weigh you down. Don’t remarry just because you need someone to take out the trash, ladies (this is not Alice’s Restaurant here!). Gentlemen, don’t rush into things just because you need someone to do the laundry and you’re running out of clothes!

This blog offers some very practical advice on how to get the garbage to the side of the curb and how to create a new wardrobe, so take some time out before you jump back into the fray. I hope you’ll take some time to explore the various topics herein and do ask questions if there’s something I didn’t cover that you’d like to read about.

Best,

Dr. Sheri
