Preparation for the unexpected

What is the one thing you wish you would have known that would have better prepared you for being single again?

So many women are experiencing being single again. This unexpected turn has left many women vulnerable to their situations where some literally have to start over again. I believe that some things that those who are on the other side of the surprises of singlehood could assist those who are entering it or prepare those who may be closer then experiencing it than they could ever imagine. In addition, I believe that it will help women begin to build and prepare themselves in the event that singlehood becomes their reality. So I am asking a much-needed question that many women need the answer to so they can avoid the pitfalls of being single again.
