Life after divorce or separation is dark and confusing. There are many questions and difficult feelings that one cannot find answers to. This book will guide those people into understanding what they are experiencing, help them sort through the feelings, and guide them into realistic ways to overcome the hurts and pains of divorce. It will also teach them how to avoid the past mistakes by following biblical instructions for lasting relationships.

Once a marriage has failed and ends in divorce, both parties experience a gambit of emotions, internal questions, fear, and often go through a psychological and spiritual warfare in order to accept the failure of the marriage, as well as the true cause for the demise. In order to be whole again, it is necessary that each person learns what can be done differently moving forward, forgive themselves as well as their former spouse, and choose to work through their pain to utilize this negative event as a growth opportunity to catapult them into their future. Healing and wholeness after divorce is possible, but it requires intentionality in order to move from a place of grief to a mindset of greatness, from pain to a place of power, and from divorce drama into divine destiny. This book is simply an outline of one woman's journey to healing and feeling whole again as an individual, through faith in God and the opinion that all things are possible to those that believe (Mark 9:23).

I chronicle the nature of grief peculiar to divorce in a personal manner through the lens of my experience and clinical understanding. I begin with love and end with love. In Part One: I begin with the fantasy that turned into tragedy, and I use the analogy of a clock's mechanism to show the general nature and course of healthy grief especially in divorce. I start with an analogy of the mechanical nature of something totally non-mechanical and fully metaphysical. A mainspring, fulcrum, lever, and pendulums show how inward and outward expressions of grief facilitate or impede healing. In Part Two: the Black Forest Pathway How Expression Unfolds chapters III through XII, a few other analogies are used to chronicle the journey through grief, like the "Bay of Heartbrokenness," the "Bridge of Finality," and the "Wasteland." With these analogies and some liberty, I take the reader on a walk through the "Black Forest," observing the various trees that make up grief in the various stages of a divorce. In Part Three: the Black Forest What Helps Expression chapters XIII and XV, I step back and view the Black Forest as a whole; that is, in comparison with and without diminishing the grief of death, I show the peculiar and greater pain of divorce. All analogies have some weaknesses, and there is no pretension to having chronicled every aspect. Even these are but scribbles. But perhaps the pictures and journey will help a little. If anything, I hope for an increase in sensitivity toward those going through a divorce, for it can be the most traumatic and painful event in a person's life indeed, life-changing.

A loss--whether it be of a loved one, a career, or anything else of importance--shapes the rest of a person's life. It leaves a void that can never really be filled. But there are healthy ways to deal with that loss--ways that permit life to go on and even be strengthened. Yeagley teaches us to say goodbye to those things we have lost. Dealing with such issues as divorce, loss of home, and the emotional pain of problems that simply will not go away, he shows how we can successfully cope with primary losses and secondary losses, or the loss of all those things in our life entwined with the primary loss. When a loved one dies or leaves, for example, we also lose all those things that we did with the individual, and we may spend the rest of our lives discovering and coping with the secondary losses. We may feel unending guilt or regret over things we wish we had or hadn't done. Yeagley also discusses the constant grief endured by caretakers such as nurses, physicians, and the families of sick and dying persons, and offers practical ways to deal with it.
