Divorce Recovery

"It's a living death" was the way one person described being divorced. "It would be easier if my ex-spouse had literally died." Divorce is the severing of a living relationship. You may be asking some very difficult questions without easy answers:

  • Are my feelings normal?
  • When will I get off this emotional rollercoaster?
  • How can I hate someone so deeply when I used to love that person with my whole heart?
  • Will I ever stop crying?
  • How can I even think about dating again when I feel so undesirable?
  • Have I failed my children?
  • Is there a future for me?

Divorce Recovery is a healing process that a trained counselor can help you grow through. There is life on the other side of divorce. One of our trained counselors can walk with you and guide you on your journey. Call today to set up an appointment at 417-882-6767.
