1. Hang in there! Be there (and be positive) for your kids every moment you can be, and know that is the best thing you can do for them. The relationship continues, and they will know you are a good mom, even if nobody else does.
2. Grieve... this is a completely valid loss, and you Get To Grieve! If you find another mother who's been through a custody battle, trade sympathy & affirmation.
3. Fill the empty hours with self-improvement you wouldn't have time for if you had custody. Such as: take a class, join a club, take up a hobby, get a better job, go on a diet, volunteer, go on a date ... anything that you'll feel good about having done.
In a year or two, it will still be a heartache that'll bring tears to your eyes out of nowhere, but it will no longer be a hole in your heart and life. Hugs and good luck.
