Such simple advice, great if you are in a position to listen to it. For some people it just takes time, no one can push you thru it as it states. Move at your own speed, take care of yourself – for if you were married as long as I was, and now you’re not – take time to just be “you”, and take care of “you” – you deserve it!!

Today might not be the day you are ready to start fresh. No one can force or push a person to start fresh if they are not ready. If you are ready today, then GREAT!! If you need more time then take that time! Here are FIVE types to help starting fresh a little easier…

Divorce Recovery Fresh Starts Life after Divorce Surviving Divorce Women's Lives after Divorce

Divorce does seem to be happening in epidemic proportions. Do they really think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? Do the marriage vows take a hike when you think there’s something better out there for you? A vow is a promise, like honoring a contract – but these days people just rip up the contract like yesterday’s hamburger wrapper, and toss it in the trash can. Sad . . . . .
Divorce is War
Studies show that divorce is contagious. You’re more likely to divorce if your friends do. A study done by the Daily Mail found that the break-up of a friend of a friend’s marriage boosts your chances of divorce by a third, calling the effect “divorce clustering.”
Break-ups within friendship groups “force couples to start questioning their own relationships” and “reduce the social stigma of splitting up, even when children are involved.”

Surviving Divorce
by suddenlysinglewomen
Valentine’s Day – what’s it like for a single woman??? SUX!! My college boyfriend proposed to me on Valentine’s Day. Nine months later, he decided he’d rather go to Law School with his best friend than graduate and marry me. Hmmmm??? Then came the next BF, our first date was on Valentine’s Day, I married him and 30 years later he leaves me after our 30 year marriage. Over the years, Valentine’s Day was something I tried to celebrate as the anniversary of something wonderful – but now I know that it was just a sham. Last year, after a horse accident, I was on crutches and the man I was dating (or thought I was) brought me lunch and roses. I was so taken aback, and so “falling in love” that I allowed myself to think “this one is a good one, this one won’t break my heart”. Nope – what I shoulda been thinking was “this one is just like all the rest”!! He had only been divorced a couple of years and was not any where NEAR done playing the “I’m free – woo hoo” game. So this year’s Valentine’s Day was spent alone with the dogs. You know, the four legged critters that love YOU unconditionally. Maybe I’m on to something . . . . . . .

Welcome to my new blog. This has been a project in the making for the past couple of years. I started out wanting to design and provide a support group for “suddenly single women” – of any age, who find themselves getting a divorce because their husband no longer wants to be married to them. I could not find a support group that wasn’t too “faith based”. I wanted to find a group of women who “got it”, similar to the scene in the movie of “Jerry Maquire” when all the ladies who were “left” get together in a friend’s home to talk about their experience with others who have “been there”! In the process of conceptualizing this group, many people started suggesting I write a book as well.
Along this path has come many learning opportunities, I’m still working on the support group, hoping to get it off the ground within the year. I’m a Houstonian, but I know the needs are universal. I’ve written the book, but it’s in editing so I’m getting my feet wet by “blogging”. Welcome to the 21st century. I hope suddenly single women find me, and together we can survive our unwanted divorce, and come out the other side whole, healed and better for it.
