Dating after divorce should not begin by running from the pain of what ended. The loss of the marriage, the life that was being built, and the emotions surrounding it need to be faced before something new begins.

The urge to numb grief or move forward too quickly can be powerful. But unresolved pain does not disappear simply because another relationship starts.

Grieve first. Then look honestly at what happened before stepping back into dating.
