I also believed that finding your accommodation asap will be recommended. When you are comfortable and stable with less worries, you may want to think through:
Like what they have mentioned, it is advisable to educate yourself in various financial instruments.
Your actions will result in reactions/consequences.
Your knowledge will help increase the number of choice you can make.
Get more information and make a decision with a consequence you are willing to bear.

Look for your accomodation first, then with the remaining cash leave 6 months of your expenses aside...

Like the others have mentioned, it's key to find your own accommodation first. I personally would set aside a budget for this, as well as alimony and other big cost buckets. Additionally, you might need to add mortgage payments for the HDB, depending on whether the HDB has been fully paid for already.
Next, I would look into insurance coverage. Ie. Is there enough to protect yourself, or are there even insurance policies that don't serve you now at 46?
I guess six months of cash set aside seems to be the general rule of thumb - I would then look at investing the rest, depending on your risk appetite.
Apart from financial investments, invest in yourself. This could be anything from health (because we all know how expensive it can be should one not be well), to doing the things you always wanted to do in your life.
As the saying goes, the best things in life are the people you love, the places you go, and the memories you make :)
