It was December of 1998 when he informed me that he "was not happy." He agreed to go to marriage counseling but was not interested in doing the work. He moved out of our home on 11/6/99 so he could have "some space." On January 7th while I was sitting in church an announcement in the bulletin caught my eye, a Divorce Recovery group was starting on January 16th. The timing could not have been more perfect.

For me, attending a Divorce Recovery group was instrumental in helping me get through the divorce process. Whether you are beginning the path of divorce or have been divorced for awhile but can not seem to let go of the past, I suspect you could benefit from participating in a Divorce Recovery group. I have compiled a list of what I believe are the:

"7 Benefits of Participating in a Divorce Recovery (DR) Group."

#1 - SUPPORT - At a DR group you will find people that have been or are currently in the process of divorce. They have been down the path; they know what you can expect, how you feel, what you may need. They each have a unique story to tell. Maybe you can learn from their experience. The leader, facilitators and other participants can offer you encouragement, emotional support, prayer and hope.

#2 - ABILITY TO CONNECT - Even though your married friends care about you and want to help, if they have never experienced divorce themselves, they can not truly relate to your pain. There is something about being in a state of brokenness that creates a common ground where we can relate to others who share a similar pain. You may have very little in common with the members in the group other than sharing the pain and process of divorce. Being able to connect with others helps you to realize you are not alone.

#3- PROMOTES HEALING - A DR group provides a safe comfortable environment to express your feelings, thoughts, fears, disappointment, anger, and challenges. A DR group provides an opportunity to share, to speak, to process, to be heard without judgment, to cry, to laugh, to listen to others, and celebrate your victories and successes, too.

#4- EDUCATIONAL/INFORMATIONAL- There are different types of DR programs. Many will provide a lecture or video of a lecture followed by discussions/sharing in small groups. The information may include topics related to; transitioning from married to single life, looking at relationships, the dynamics of marriage and how and why they fail, styles of communication, owning your part of the marriage, dating again, how to have a successful more fulfilling relationship or marriage the next time, dealing with anger towards your former spouse, forgiveness, healing, letting go of the past, moving forward and how to co-parent effectively when there are children involved.

#5- NETWORKING- Everyone attending a DR group is either going through or has been through a divorce. Where can you find a better pool of resources? This is a great place to get names and recommendations of who to use and who not to use for an attorney, child mediator, counselor/therapist for you (or your children), career opportunities, child care, sharing ideas of parenting plans/schedules, what worked, what didn't, learning from other people's mistakes and successes.  What a great place to make some new single friends! Remember "single life" is new to most everyone in the group. Most people would welcome the opportunity to have other people to do things with socially. Why not ask who would be interested in going to dinner or for coffee before or after your meeting. I made some really great friends that I still see and do things with. Although all of us in our group are not still in contact today, we had a lot of fun getting together for In a DR group you are bound to discover some things about yourself; becoming aware of your upbringing and how you learned to relate or communicate with others, your needs, your love language. It may be understanding your part in the marriage break up, gaining a better understanding of "who" you really are, what you really want in a relationship, what you value most, areas where you can improve yourself, growing in forgiveness, acceptance, strength, and courage.

I would love to hear from you. Have you participated in a DR group? What was your experience? How did you benefit from the group? If you have never been to a group, would you consider going?
