Beth Cone Kramer wants to assure those going through divorce of two things: First, life will eventually become a lot less stressful. And second, if you're feeling beleaguered or out of sorts since the split, don't be afraid to reach out for help from friends, family or professionals.
"You are not alone," said Cone Kramer, the co-author of The Bachelor Girls Guide. "Ask for support. Put together a team to help with what you need, whether that means a financial expert, therapists for you and your kids, a life coach or all of the above. Knowledge is power."
