How hard it is really depends on how hard you expect it to be. If you’re frustrated throughout the whole process, then this is going to be very difficult for you. If you accept that really, everything financial at this point is a process, then you’re going to have a much easier time jumping through the hoops to get a mortgage after bankruptcy. Getting through this takes a lot of time, work, and most of all, emotional strength and patience. As much of a blow this financial mess has taken on your finances, it often takes a much harsher emotional toll, and it’s important that you deal with that before you move forward.
Counseling to deal with everything that has happened to you is often a very good idea. People often experience cycles of feelings that they rinse through, and then repeat, such as anger, guilt, shame, and embarrassment. These feelings often lead to avoidance. Even if you go ahead and decide you want to get a home loan and start going down the long path and taking the steps to make all of this work for you, if you start going through a cycle of these emotions and then start avoiding your finances, you could end up in a big financial mess again–even if the initial troubles you had were not originally caused by you, it’s easy to fall into this trap. Keep your emotions in check from the beginning so that you can get yourself on a good path to recovery.
