Surviving Separation. This item is unavailable.Surviving Separation

As a believing Christian, what do you do with yourself when your spouse leaves you, wants to separate indefinitely, or even wants a divorce? Where do you go? Whom do you turn to? How do you keep going when all you want to do is curl up into a ball and disappear? Your spouse has just left you, and you have no idea whether this separation is going to be temporary or permanent. You are on an emotional roller coaster with ups, downs, twists and turns, and even loops that continue all throughout your day. From one minute to the next, you have no idea where your emotions are going to take you and all you want is some peace and comfort, but you don't know where to find it. It's time to find strength and support, do some self-exploration, find distractions, and most importantly, find God in all of this mess. God is our source of healing and strength and by tapping into that strength; you can survive this and come out on the other side more beautiful and at peace with your life than you were when you started.

Shauna currently resides in Oklahoma with her seven-year-old son, Andrew. She has led a support group for over two and a half years for people going through separation and divorce. She is currently working on her licensure for marriage and family therapy. She was separated from her husband for over three years before her divorce was finalized last year. The depression was unbearable, and she didn't know where to turn or how to keep going. Friends and family weren't much help for her because they had no idea what she was going through, and she felt like such a burden. She turned to books and counselors but found very little that dealt with what she was feeling and how to keep going. Her true healing began when she continued to seek God and started her support group. The focus of the group and this book is on working on your own relationship with the Lord, while turning over to him all the desires to work on your spouse's issues. The group is continuously growing, and by using what she has written in this book to help others, she is watching the healing taking place, and she wants to share that with anyone going through it. She also has a Facebook page, Surviving Separation and Divorce, for those that need encouragement, advice, support, and prayer.
