Her divorce is final and she's ready to talk. Elin Nordegren breaks her nine-month silence in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine.

"I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children," she says in the magazine's latest issue, out just days after her split from Tiger Woods was made official.

The 30-year-old mother of two, who is studying towards a college degree in psychology, says that despite her husband's betrayal, "I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself."

In 19 hours over four visits to her Windermere, Fla., rental home, Nordegren shared never-before-seen personal photographs and opened up to PEOPLE about the emotional roller coaster she's been on, her life as a mother to Sam, 3, and Charlie, 19 months, and her hopes for the future.

"My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation. I am going to keep taking classes, but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal," she says.

She tells the magazine this was her first – and last – interview, as she intends to remain a private person.

For much more, including exclusive photos of Nordegren at home, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE on newsstands Friday.

glad she got a nice settlement and glad she's taking the tack that its time to move on...but if she does want to cry...let her do it on the way to the bank!! Pity she maried such a sex-crazed bozo....never thought he was all that anyways...hope next time she gets involved its with a winner of a guy.

I think getting a divorce settlement in the neighborhood of $500-750M is one heck of a consolation prize!!

Was it that much? I thought it was about $100 million. No matter I guess when you're talking big money. You can only dress and eat so well, lol. I actually don't care how much money she has. I read a lot of the People interview. She loved Tiger, and was building her life with him. It all blew up in her face. She had no idea whatsoever that he was cheating. He broke her heart. Now she's a single mother, and that wasn't what she wanted. Sure, the money is great. Still, her family is shattered, she's lost her husband, and it was all played out on the national stage. Just like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock. Money isn't everything, but once their hearts heals a bit, that money sure comes in handy. :dollar::dollar:

Yep, I'm pretty sure she's getting $100 million.

Well, I heard on the news that it was about half to 3/4 of a billion dollars. Of course, $100 million is nothing to sneeze at. :cool: If Elin handles the money well, she and the kids will be set for life.
