"Like all losses, people who go through a divorce go through a grieving process," says Sharon Shenker, therapeutic Family and Relationship Coach. "Unfortunately, some men and women are either stuck in the process or think they have moved on but really haven’t. And when that happens, it’s difficult to thrive after a divorce because they’re actually still just trying to survive it."
Try this 10-part quiz, developed by Sharon Shenker, to find out how far you've come or if you have some post-divorce work to do. For each question, choose an answer that best describes your situation or how you're feeling. Once completed, review your mini-evaluation for insights on where you are in the process and what you can do to go from a divorce survivor to a divorce "thriver."
Just remember that there are no right or wrong answers.
