5 Ways to Beat Holiday Divorce Blues
from: Jennifer Coleman, M.S./ Ed.S., N.C.C., Rosen Law FirmEveryday I work with couples going through a divorce and know
the holidays are a tough time. If you are recently separated or
divorced, here are a few simple tips for getting through the
holidays and adjusting to new traditions and practices.
1) Recognize that the holidays might be a hard time and plan
ahead. Try to anticipate which events or activities will be hard
and plan how to get through them effectively. Don't put yourself
in situations that are going to drain your emotional stamina.
2) Create new holiday traditions. If it's your first time alone
during the holidays you need to create new holiday traditions.
The holidays are all about traditions and if you are no longer
with that someone who you shared traditions with, you need to
create new ones for yourself.
3) Try not to over compensate the absence of one spouse by
purchasing a lot of gifts for your kids. A lot of people feel
they have to keep the status quo. If there are now two
households because of a divorce, money will likely be tight.
There are a lot of things you can do to focus on meaningful
times together, such as stringing popcorn and making other
holidays decorations. This might be a good opportunity to get
back into values with your kids, they will likely appreciate it.
4) Balance your social and family life. Give yourself permission
to spend the holidays in a way that works best for you. You
don't need to throw yourself into the whole social malaise. If
being around family is uncomfortable, don't feel obligated to
spend all day with family, just spend a few hours.
5) Be thankful for what you have, not just over Thanksgiving,
but throughout the holiday season. Many things have probably
changed in your life, but what is there, new or old, for which
you are grateful? Focus on developing those relationships and
things that you value.
