Loneliness after the divorce

Got the divorce finalized 3 months ago and I'm struggling more than I thought I would. I'm alone in an apartment most nights and the silence is deafening. I have my kids every other weekend which is great but it's the weeknights that kill me. Trying to get out more, joined a gym, but I still feel isolated. Anyone else been through this? Does it get easier?

Three months out is still really fresh man. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks for a while. But it does get better. For me the key was staying active and not letting myself spiral. Joined a gym, got involved with my kids more, reconnected with friends. The loneliness doesn't disappear overnight but you start to own your space instead of feeling swallowed by it.
The divorce finalization can actually feel lonelier than the separation sometimes. All the grief you pushed aside while dealing with logistics comes back. But you're going to rebuild this. Take it one day at a time.
