Synopsis
Surviving Separation and Divorce: How to Keep Going When You Don't Really Want To...helps those in the shock stage of grief find the strength to survive their life crisis until they find the courage to rebuild. No other Christian book gives such practical, biblical insights to a woman in the grief stage of the shock resulting from separation or divorce. Such a person, often unable to think logically, sometimes doubting her faith, will find in this book the help needed to hold on until caring friendship or future counsel can be sought. Overall, Surviving Separation and Divorce motivates the newly separated or divorced person to seek wholeness rather than mere survival. The Author explains that a person in a state of shock or depression cannot follow the theme of a book that must be read from cover to cover. So she presents on each page seed thoughts that can be consumed separately, yet in a sequence that flows logically from one section or chapter to another. Surviving Separation and Divorce is the textbook for the Christian Divorce and Grief Recovery program at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. The full curriculum is available through the author's website, Lockett Learning. Divorce and Grief Recovery offers a handbook on divorce care, helping those who need healing find new beginnings; helping those grieving the death of a loved one find hope again; helping those faced with betrayal, infidelity and/or abuse find hope and recovery. The reader will find a positive approach to dealing with the loss of a relationship. Whether a significant relationship ends by death or divorce, whether the loss occurred yesterday or 30 years ago, the benefit of recovery is the same: the ability to heal, move forward in life and laugh again. Sharon walked the road to recovery. She thought life had ended, too. She faced much of what you are going through. You will be see yourself in these pages...your fears, your anger, your struggle..with compassion, and without judgement. You will be encouraged to walk through the healing process with others who will listen to you when you want to talk, comfort you when you feel unlovable, help you see when you don't know which way to go, and encourage you when you feel hopeless. You will be encouraged to be honest with God. Author Sharon Marshall says, I remember the day the music died; I remember when the telephone stopped ringing. My friends didn't know what to say - and frankly, I wasn't much fun! I remember when laughter disappeared, and I didn't think it would ever return. You will enjoy learning to laugh again. Laughter can be as healing as tears.
