Someone very close to me went through a divorce. Though her job sometimes stresses her out--her personal life is very fulfilling. She was traumatized during and for a while (a year or two) after the divorce but now (about 4 or 5 years later) she seems to have healed from it all. She owns a place in the US and a place overseas. She loves spending time overseas every summer and is becoming fluent in a 2nd language. They say learning a language in your late 40s/50s keeps your brain sharp!
