Few months is nothing.

There are support groups for recently divorced people. Maybe look for those. I’ve run into a couple ones on meetup. I was looking for a widow support group for a friend and saw one of those. There might be some by you.
True - a few months is not long, and I am grieving both issues you presented.

I would prefer not to join a support group for recently divorced. I don't want to hear anyone's sob story. I am trying to focus on positives in my life, vs loss and all the negatives.... it helps me to do this. It helps to keep me functioning at work and in my daily life and routines.
