Loving After Divorce
Redefining Your Self
Anne Felt speaks candidly about a difficult topic: emotional and spiritual recovery after divorce. Her clear message is stated eloquently, with simplicity and directness born of personal experience. “This is a no-nonsense look at the process of divorce. The truest work of this difficult transition lies in the aftermath of the legal proceedings. Each individual faces the opportunity to create a legacy of peace, forgiveness and growth or to live as a victim of the event. The choices we make dictate our future happiness, as well as the impact on our family members.”
Ms. Felt uses simple metaphors, stories and real life examples to highlight the path to healing and growth. Readers are led through practical and thoughtful processes to examine their levels of awareness, beliefs, values, attitudes and goals. “As each person makes the moment by moment decisions to move towards peace, everyone in the family is allowed to heal. The key ingredients are time, willingness, effort and support.”

Excerpt
. . .Challenging times force us to leave the safety and security of this comfort zone. The roller coaster ride of divorce certainly qualifies as one of the most heart wrenching of these times. The comfort zone mentality is blown away, at least for the time being.
I have the dubious distinction of being twice divorced. This was never my intention. I entered each marriage as a lifetime commitment. The first marriage lasted twenty-six years and produced three children. The second marriage showed surprising and alarming signs of trouble two days before the wedding. It became a prison after six months and was concluded at eleven months. The casual observer's first response might be: "What did you do wrong?" or "Why are you a two-time loser?" or "What were you thinking?" My brother-in-law called me the "runaway bride" when I left the second marriage. I am amazed at how little people really know each other in marriages and in family relationships.
