You really have to be proactive to combat the feelings of loneliness...you have to go out and find places where you can get involved and where you can feel like you belong.
Feeling lonely after a divorce can be one of the toughest hurdles to overcome. In this episode of the Surviving Divorce Podcast, host G.D. Lengacher dives into the heart of this issue, offering practical advice and heartfelt insights on how to navigate this challenging time. Loneliness can hit hard, especially when you’re used to having a partner or a tight-knit group of friends.
The episode explores how separation can sometimes lead to friends drifting away, making the sense of isolation even more profound. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Lengacher shares hopeful strategies to rebuild your social circle and find a sense of belonging again. He suggests getting involved in community activities like church groups or volunteering as great ways to meet new people and create meaningful connections.
One key piece of advice is to avoid jumping into a new relationship too quickly. Lengacher warns that rushing into dating can often lead to settling for less, which can hinder your healing process. Instead, he advocates for giving yourself the time and space needed to heal and grow as an individual before seeking out new romantic relationships. This episode is packed with valuable tips and encouragement for anyone feeling the sting of loneliness after a divorce.
