Abstract

Divorce is an unexpected condition that might happen to people and has been experienced by some married people. Unfortunately, some women face a lower quality of life after divorce, such as economic problems, lifestyle, and even bad social relationships. On the contrary, other women could be more productive and independent after divorce. The current study aims to explore how resilience, ability to adapt, and stay unwavering under challenging times for divorced women, especially for those who have not remarried after five years of divorce. The researcher used a qualitative approach, and data collected with deep interview method and observation. This research analyzes based on the exploration of how divorce could happen and discover ineffective communication as the main reason for a divorce. Social support is primarily needed, including supports from family and best friends. They have "hope" to build their own business and patience to control their emotion after divorce, and then take lessons from it. They also endeavor to pride themselves as individuals who could be independent and be better in the future.
