There were once two divorced women (in my culture it is considered as failure and end of the road - at least in my generation) - one chose to be resigned to her fate & self pity, the other chose to take action and look for new opportunities - yes, it was risky but you don't achieve anything without the struggle and taking risks - and the best thing is you won't live a life of regret (if onlys) -

Hope you find comfort in the moral of my story
