Very sorry to hear this. My sister-in-law (my wife's sister) went through this a year and a half ago when her husband cheated, had a massive change in personality, walked out, etc. It absolutely shattered her. Emotionally, financially, the whole bit. I wasn't sure that she'd ever recover from it enough to have another relationship.
It took about a year for her, with the help of counseling, but I think that she's slowly getting to know a guy at her office, and he seems like a stand-up sort of guy. The family hasn't met him yet, but I think that will be soon. I wouldn't have imagined this a year ago, and not even 8 months ago.
My only advice would be to seek help whenever you need it. Make sure that you are taken care of - emotionally, legally, physically. After seeing how shattered my sister-in-law was, I really gained a new understanding for how things can really spiral downward. Everyone is going to handle it differently, so just be honest with yourself and don't be afraid to talk about it and to ask for help when you need it.
