All of us need “emotional” support as well as “practical” support.
Family and friends, support groups, professionals, as well as other
support services in your community, can all help you adjust to the
changes in your life. It is important to reach out for advice, encouragement
and understanding to help reduce tension and the feelings of isolation
and depression that often go along with separation and divorce.
Also, by reaching out to other adults, you are teaching your children
a very valuable lesson in life: we all need help from time to time,
and learning from — and leaning on — others is an important part of
living and growing.

I like your emphasis on role-modeling support-seeking behaviors for your children. I think this element is often over-looked. There's a lot a great information overall on this blog, and I'm sure it is a great resource for many of your readers!
