"Suddenly" widowed is a possibility but I don't think you can "suddenly" find yourself divorced! Anyway, you go through the whole process of grieving and acceptance and then get on with your life.

Mine was sort of sudden. About 2 weeks from him telling me he was cheating and loved the other woman to me moving out. And it took the extra week because he was out of town on what I thought was a business trip (not true) and he begged me to wait until he came home before moving out.Since I didn't know he was cheating or was even unhappy with our marriage, it was pretty sudden from my side. And everything you said is correct: grieving acceptance to moving on with my life. For me the hardest part was the grieving process.
Our divorce itself was also quick. In fact, I didn't even have a lawyer. We just took each others name off our bank accounts (never bothered w/a common account) and I bought out his 1/2 of the car. The only conflict was he wanted to pay alimony and I didn't accept it. We compromised on him being able to buy the dogs whatever he wanted to.

Pay off the mortgage, improve the house, purchase a couple of pieces of necessary equipment, go back to school, invest some college money for my son, avoid women for the remainder of my days.
Suddenly divorced:
Try to figure out where I can live while paying child support and alimony, the answer being a cardboard box down by the river with showers hopefully taken at the Y, watch as women avoid me for the remainder of my days.
