The Divorce Recovery Sourcebook (Sourcebooks) [Paperback]

Dawn Berry (Author)

Book Description

Series: Sourcebooks | Publication Date: January 1, 1999

The end of a marriage that was intended to be lasting and loving can be emotionally traumatic. Even though divorce is a singularly painful process, 50 percent of marriages will end this way. The feelings that arise from words like "failure," "blame," and "loneliness" make recovery from divorce difficult. The Divorce Recovery Sourcebook is an empathetic guide to help newly divorced people overcome the burdens of the past, better cope with the problems of today, and have a positive focus on the future.

Berry (The 50 Most Influential Women in American Law, LJ 1/97) provides a good introduction to the stages of divorce and recovery. The book includes information from professionals in a variety of fields, as well as everyday people who have been through a divorce. Berry discusses the emotional impact of divorce, the effect on children, legal matters, remarriage, and blended families. In the last chapter, she lists helpful agencies and resources. Easy to read and understand, her book adopts a positive tone and keeps the focus on looking ahead. It offers helpful advice to those going through an unfortunately common experience.

This review is from: The Divorce Recovery Sourcebook (Sourcebooks) (Paperback)

I had been married for 15 years to the only woman I ever had a relationship, then one day she divorced me. I was totally lost in the new world. I do not have any bad feeling against my ex-wife, but I kept slipping in some sort of depression. This book did a great job of explaining that I get in the depression because I miss daily contact with my only son. The book taught me to go slow in new relationship, I wish I read this book two months earlier. I was the worst case scenario in new relationship. However, The book cheered me up by pointing out that I am the best case scenario in many other areas such as financial, career... I think it will help those divorced people with financial problems as much as new relationship.
