The end of each chapter has a Mile Marker Message with insightful questions for pondering and self-reflection. Sheri invites you, along with her carpool of friends, to come along for the ride.
Download or read book Life After Divorce written by Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role divorce plays on emotional stability can be devastating for many men and women—anger, resentment, and a sense of loss often linger well beyond the life and death of the marriage. Since much of the stigma of the past has been lifted, many are discovering that it is easier to work through these negative emotions, turning this life-altering event into a positive one by creating a better, more fulfilling life after divorce. Whether a marriage was short-term or long-term, the pain felt by the individuals involved in either type is often quite similar after it dissolves. There are also key behaviors and emotions unique to both the individual leaving the relationship as well as the one being left. What both partners have in common, however, is a deep sense of loss. Life After Divorce, Revised & Updated guides readers through this confusion, offering tips on how to heal, secrets to dealing with both new and old relationships outside the marriage, how to communicate with children caught in the crossfire, and how to deal with the effects of financial instability in the home. In this updated and revised edition of the classic book Life After Divorce, bestselling author and therapist Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse outlines the most common issues associated with the dissolution of marriages—abuse, addiction, lack of communication, money, career goals, social interests, and cheating are just a few. Readers learn how to navigate the divorce process without the added cost of unwanted attorney fees, the difference between a collaborative and mediation divorce, and how to choose which path is right for them. Also provided are two new chapters, one focusing on adult children whose parents have chosen to divorce later in life and how they can effectively deal with the guilt associated with feeling the pressure to take sides, and the other explains how technology plays a role in the dissolution of marriages. Wegscheider-Cruse believes that each and every person has the ability to grow from the trauma of divorce, coming out a better, well-rounded individual. Peace, fulfillment, and greater self-esteem are possible after divorce, as is achieving a loving and lasting relationship with a new partner.

Download or read book Come Sweet Day Thoughts and Poems from Hard Times to Hope A Writer s Journey written by Julianne Donaldson and published by Shadow Mountain. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling romance author Julianne Donaldson has written deeply emotional, sweeping love stories in Edenbrooke and Blackmoore, often commenting that her characters were a reflection of what she wanted a woman's life to be: happy, secure, unconditionally loved, and fulfilled. But in reality her own life was far more marked by difficult challenges and disappointments. In her new book, Donaldson reveals her thoughts and feelings from that unsettled time of despair and suffering so women can know they are not alone and that there is hope even in the hard times. Compiled from years of inspirational words of encouragement to herself on social media--and even bits and pieces of random musings written on scrap paper, this is a unique writer's journey through a life passage marked by cancer, a bitter divorce, legal battles with her ex-husband, mental illness, and persistent feelings of rejection and abandonment which also rendered her unable to pick up her career as a writer to support herself and her family. Overwhelmed by sadness and almost paralyzed into inaction by despair, she slowly finds her way back to her writer's toolbox, unpacking the pain and sharing her innermost feelings as if revealing a character's thoughts in a novel. In her writing she begins to find rays of understanding and acceptance and eventually finds strength from knowing that God's love and His grace and guidance give greater meaning to our suffering and light the way to hope.

Download or read book A Man s Feelings written by Michael Louis Eads and published by Red San Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07-03 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique book, which addresses a calamity many men face, was written by the Northwest Author, Michael Louis Eads: A Man's Feelings, Finding Closure After Divorce. Divorce, a word synonymous with failure, disappointment and heartache; any man who loved his wife and went through divorce feels the stigma and loss. The courts use these words: dissolution, irretrievable and broken. These heartless terms create turmoil to a man going through divorce. They don't even account for or describe the agony a man endures during this crisis.This is a personal account of how Michael went through these hard times, and how he came out the other end with a positive attitude, and a vigorous new life. Going through this crisis, he found his own identity and self-esteem in question. His whole life was a question mark from the day his wife first said the word, Divorce, but with a step-by-step process, and help from friends and counseling, he got through it. "I believe with the raw personal expertise of an everyday man, Michael's story is unique and uplifting. His advice is straightforward and insightful, offering hope and encouragement on the long road to find a new life for any man struggling for happiness after losing the love of his life," said his friend Bob Olson, who has known Michael since his teens. In Michael's research of divorce books, he had found that almost all deal with the legal ramifications of divorce. Few deal with the stigma, heartache and emotional turmoil that a man must face during separation and divorce. "I feel my book exposes the most basic need in all men after divorce, that is, the overwhelming desire to find some semblance of happiness, well-being, and ultimately, closure. It is my hope that after reading this book, you will realize its value and potential." --The Publisher In his book, A Man s Feelings: Finding Closure After Divorce, Michael Eads takes us on a personal journey following his own divorce. By relating his experience of coming to terms with the end of his marriage, and the stages of grief and loss that accompanied that, we also join him on his road to acceptance, letting go, and finally finding hope, happiness, and well-being in the aftermath of his divorce. All the while that Michael is telling his own tale, he is providing a road map for men (and women) who are in the midst of the confusion, hurt and pain, and emotional floundering that can come with the experience of confronting the end of a marriage while attempting to put life back in order. Michael is open and sharing about his vulnerabilities and growth, so that one can almost feel that he is sitting with you, a good friend, there to share his experience, to help you find some sense of direction in unknown and uncharted territory. I highly recommend this book to anyone embarking on their own such journey. --Susan Sterling, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

This book is also for all who get discouraged by what is dealt to them as they search for meaning in their lives. The story is of a Midwestern girl born in the 1950's. The negative behavior demonstrated to her by her parents were etched upon her impressionable mind. She had no self-esteem and struggled as an adult to glean validation for herself whenever possible. As an adult, she blindly felt her way through the labyrinth of her life, with no sense of direction, purpose, and certainly no moral compass. She fell victim to her own knee-jerk reactions and ran into road-blocks constantly. She often had to re-route her derailed life in trying to regain her balance and momentum. Hers was a destiny of detours.

Download or read book Detours to the Good Stuff written by Vickie McGillis and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2016-03-26 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It had been ten long years since Katie Munson divorced her husband, Darren Munson. In the wake of his rage and violent abuse, the 32-year-old single mother of four young children had, at last, found the peace, happiness and stability that had eluded her during all those years of fear, dating disasters, loneliness and uncertainty. In the summer of 1977, Katie married her soul mate, 34-year-old Burt Pomerance, who brought joy, security, love and kindness into their lives. Katie's children finally had the kind of father they deserved and could be proud of. Those first months together as a blended family were the happiest days of their lives...but how long will the family's euphoria last? Sadly, all good things must come to an end. As the children grew older, they were being bussed to school in Lumberton, where their parents also worked. Thus, a move to the city was imminent, despite the kids' defiant and outward objections. Having vacated their home town of Stone Valley, Minnesota, which was as much a part of them as their clothes, the small-town Munson kids faced many new challenges and people in this foreign land known as "the big city." Soon after moving to central Lumberton, some strange things started happening, which triggered a chain of events that most would find impossible to believe. In this heart-pounding, jaw-dropping, dramatic family saga, the young Munson children learn some harsh realities as they assert their independence as teenagers. Then, in the summer of 1983, a terrible tragedy befalls one of the teenaged Munson children, turning all of their lives completely upside down. The Munson/Pomerance clan are forced to start over yet again, but in ways they never could have imagined. Life as they knew it would never be the same. Katie took solace in her wonderfully supportive husband, Burt, who remained steadfast and true throughout the entire ordeal. Unlike her first husband, Katie now had someone to lean on and hold her up when her world was crumbling down. For better or worse, the strength of their marriage will be sorely tested, and the family ties strained to the limit. Through the years, as they strive to become happy, stable, responsible and principled citizens and adults, the Munson siblings realize that their battles have only just begun. Katie Pomerance worried that her tumultuous relationship and marriage to their biological father might impact her three young daughters' choices when it came to boyfriends and, ultimately, a husband. During this gripping journey of self-discovery, it will be revealed to some that true love, once attained, is often contaminated with heartbreak, disappointment, betrayal, abandonment, fear and grief. In this epic third installment in the "Detours" series of books, the Munson/Pomerance family encounter one obstacle after another, weathering their storms together as a family, and independently from one another. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Upper Mississippi River Valley in Southeastern Minnesota, this exhilarating drama is overflowing with nostalgia, history, music, suspense and shocking events. Whether you're young or young at heart, there's something for everyone in this thrilling joyride back through the 1980s (the decade of AIDS, MTV and "yuppies") as the Munson/Pomerance clan navigate the river of life, with dogged determination, to restore their happiness and rebuild their shattered lives...in search of "the good stuff."
