My name is Jennifer and I am the founder of Suddenly Single On Long Island. On May 30, 1999, I met and soon after became engaged and married to whom I thought was the man of my dreams. A house, children and 14 years later, I was served divorce papers. Blindsided, shocked, completely lost and heartbroken, I did not know what to do or where to turn for help.

After sitting around sad and depressed and trying to figure out ways to get my husband back, I realized I could not force someone to be with me. I lost a lot of time which I could have used doing something positive for myself to feel better. That is when I decided to take control, turn challenges into opportunities and create a new life.

Doing things to make myself feel better even if it something small like a manicure or pedicure, a facial, haircut or new makeup always made me feel good.  I also found that going for a walk, run or bike ride alone or with friends lifted my mood and spirit.
