Just got divorced! All done and dusted.

Feel so down and miserable. Got to find somewhere to live.

Also, tempted by the opposite sex! I know, I am mad! Was married over 25 years. One child.

Can’t seem to concentrate on God. Plus, I have some issues with my health. I am over 50.

Anyone divorced that can offer advice please? Ta
 
I wish mate. Don’t feel like doing anything, plus money is tight.
 
go to Mass. go to sacrament of reconcilliation.

are you going to look at an annulment?

This!

Also, there are Catholic men’s groups around, perhaps join one of them? And a Catholic community group?

This would get you close to faithful laity, and bring you closer to the church without you feeling pressured. Most also don’t require any monetary contribution.

I was divorced back in 1985 after only 4 years of marriage. I was 33 at the time. One son who is now married and I have 2 grandchildren. Divorce is like a death that you must grieve over and you will never get over the loss of your marriage. I definitely would not be rebounding and wanting to run from one new relationship to another.
Concentrate on yourself and another poster mentioned joining a men’s group. You will need time to heal.
 
I’m female, over fifty and divorced 1 year in December. I feel your pain and will pray for you. I don’t know if you are bitter or vengeful, but either way, offer up your pain for your wife’s conversion. If you have trouble forgiving her, ask Jesus to do it for you until you can. I’m sorry for your pain. I think divorce is actually worse than a spouses death.
 
It’s not her fault. I have not been a great husband. I do pray for her. I do wish her full health and happiness.
 
You should seek out professional counseling. Perhaps moving near some family members for support? Joining a group or club would definitely help. I have a friend who got through his divorce by taking up long distance running.
