In New York City, it takes a village to heal a divorcée.

At the city’s first-ever Divorce Expo in Chelsea, attendees yesterday were introduced to the upside of a crumbled marriage — interior decorators ready to purge the past with new looks for new homes; sex therapists encouraging the freshly divorced to jump back in the sack; information about breast implants and tummy tucks; kitsch jewelry to replace wedding bands; and pamphlets on sexy getaways.

“I’m not into the Sandals resort booth, because that’s where my ex-husband used to take his girlfriend,” sniffed one recent divorcée from New Jersey.

She and her friend — both certified nurses who threw in the towel on marriage after their husbands’ second infidelities — planned to stay at the convention until the cocktail party.

Eligible bachelors, however, were scarce at the expo, which opened yesterday and runs through this evening. The majority of attendees were women looking for information on financial planning.

“I’ve been married 32 years and allowed someone else to be in control of the finances,” said Sharon Barnett, whose marriage fell apart when she felt “a sense of deceit” from her husband.

“I keep telling my [soon-to-be-ex] that I’m going to get a new car with the license plate, ‘from my ex.’ ”

One man was looking for spiritual guidance.

“My wife decided to call it quits after 35 years,” said Richard Manfredi, 73. “She never told me over the years that I was too controlling and now she says she’s had enough.”

Manfredi said he was interested in Minister Teresa Dedovitch’s $500 “divorce ceremonies,” where her clients write down words and phrases that remind them of the past and burn them, or smash symbolic figurines.
