How long did it take you to mourn the loss of your marriage?

It usually depends on how the marriage was. For example if you were in a marriage that was abusive and miserable, you may find leaving the marriage was a relief or a heavy weight lifted off of your shoulders, if you were in love with your spouse and it ended because of adultery then you will probably have a long grieving process. I have a nice article attached although it has bible references it is still practical for coping.

50 years and I haven't mourned the loss of my marriage because I haven't lost it.  And I don't intend to.  So the answer has to be "It took more than 50 years before I mourned the loss of my marriage".

Five years before I dated.

You mean, how long did it take to STOP mourning the loss?

I was married for 20 years but the last 5 years were miserable. My ex cheated on me and I stuck around for the children (big mistake). Once we finally moved apart, it was a relief. I had mourned the marriage for years before it ended.
