Book Description

February 1, 1994

No matter how bad the marriage, there is no way to end it without feeling a sense of loss. The difference between people who live in the pain and those who grow from the experience is the knowledge of how to grieve and let go. To recover from the trauma of divorce requires turning losses into opportunities.

Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse meticulously examines the obstacles that hold many divorced people back and effectively deals with overcoming these barriers. She shows you how to care for yourself through the crisis stage of divorce, welcome new feelings and turn an angry ex into a future friend. She devotes and entire section to helping kids cope and teaches you how to develop a healthy and effective single parent family. She also discusses the pitfalls and relapses that might occur after the healing process has begun. She guides you through re-entry into the dating world and finally, she reveals the secrets of achieving a happy, loving and lasting remarriage.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, October 19, 2009
By 
Anne J (Northern California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Life After Divorce: Create a New Beginning (Paperback)
Although this is one of the older books on divorce available on Amazon, it was by far the most useful and supportive of the 3 I purchased. Specific, personal, humane - as if the author is talking to you, explaining the terrain, empathizing, cheering you on. She explains the stages one goes through, encourages feeling the feelings, but also gives a loving push to to take steps, slowly, toward moving on and creating a new life for yourself. She has been through a divorce. It's a much better book than Fischer/Alberti's Rebuildling When Your Relationship ends, which I did not like. The only reason I'm not giving Life After Divorce 5 stars is that divorce is so difficult, it would have to be one amazing book to rate 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not helpful if you have children, November 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is very superficial and is really written from the childless divorce perspective. It has some decent information about understanding how your relationship might have arrived at a divorce, but is completely unrealistic when dealing with children. I found it not helpful at all.
