( Legal )



If you and your spouse are on the verge of ending your marriage, you should not limit yourself to an understanding of how to get divorced legally. You must prepare yourself for the emotional, physical and spiritual effects when you get divorced.

Emotional Effects

Divorce triggers a chain of events that causes intense feelings of loss and anxiety. Your mind may be telling you that it is best for you and your spouse to get divorced, but your heart has reservations. It will take some time to get used to having personal attachments suddenly severed; sometimes, old habits die hard and the longing to have the other's companionship may persist.

You may experience mixed emotions when you get divorced. Rage, terror, anxiety, bitterness, sadness, sense of failure, nostalgia, release, and righteous indignation are some feelings that you may undergo. These feelings are often disruptive, and sometimes they can result in socially unacceptable or self-destructive behavior.

Physical Effects

When you get divorced, your body can exhibit psychosomatic symptoms, according to medical doctors and therapists. Some of the physical complaints include insomnia or excessive sleep, fatigue, weight loss or gain, nervousness and headaches.

Lowered immune system efficiency, erratic eating habits, tendency to illness and accidents, and neglect of appearance are also physical reactions towards divorce. There may be inclinations to alcohol, drug, and sex addiction during this period. When you get divorced, you should ensure that you do not neglect taking care of yourself, for your own and your children's sake.

Spiritual Effects

If it has been your article of faith that marriage is for life and that your spouse is your best and most trustworthy friend, you might find your religious faith shaken when you get divorced. A countervailing personal philosophy and a strong belief in yourself will help you get over the depression you'll feel after you get divorced.
