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.
