Divorce Grief

Divorce is one of the most stressful, emotionally draining things you can go through, and it’s something that can stay with you for the rest of your life if you’re not careful. Rather than feeling scared of this, what if you were to feel empowered and inspired to make sure you don’t become just another statistic? The betrayal, feeling of abandonment, and self-recriminations that follow so naturally from a toxic divorce can quickly change who you feel you are as a person.

ALONE offers support, guidance and practical information for the woman who must cope with the grief and the legal and financial realities of losing a husband through death or divorce.

How does one deal with the pain of divorce, with death, with poverty, with violence, with the everyday problems of life, she wondered. So, she asked.... One early morning just nine months after she and her husband of 27 years had separated, Pam Carlquist inadvertently began a dialogue that would change her life forever. In a moment of desperation, she sat down with pen and paper and cried out to God for help. To her surprise, she received an answer, a response so comforting and so wise that she continued the correspondence for over a year, indeed forevermore.

This is a book of poetry to encourage people that have been through heartbreak, pain, grief and the ending of a relationship. It's honest, real talk about the feelings we have after experiencing this sort of death after losing someone we have deeply loved.

When her husband of 25 years suddenly announces he's leaving her, writer Mary Jane Grant runs away to London to immerse herself in any reality but her own. Reeling from the shock and loss of her marriage and the life she's known, she begins to discover that if she can just focus on the moment she's in, take notice of the people, the sights and smells around her, that her pain and grief start to recede.

This beautiful book documents the author's intimate journey of codependency, religious deconstruction, divorce, heartbreak, and ultimately ends with her finding her way back to herself.

Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry. The virtuosic central sequence explores the untimely death of the poet’s estranged father, a handyman and addict, and the brothers left to sort through the detritus of a life long lost to them. Through lyrical, darkly humorous vignettes, Kunz asks what it costs to build a home and a love that not only lasts but sustains.

No matter the details, divorce is not a one cut injury. It is a dark journey that a person travels - but does not have to travel alone. Experiencing Divorce is written for the person who is in the wake of despair divorce leaves. This brief but powerful book will help lead listeners through this difficult process of grief, and allow them to see the end of the journey where God can grant peace and a seasoned, more mature faith.
