Lifeworks Keys to Divorce Recovery

At LifeWorks, we understand the pain and suffering of divorce. Divorce is a devastating life event. Individuals and families experiencing divorce often feel they’re drowning in a confusion of feelings. Are you feeling...

Pain?

Anger?

Shame?

Fear?

Guilt?

Loneliness?

Take heart! You’re not alone. All of these feelings are normal during this very difficult time. Lifeworks counselors can help you. If you seek help, there is hope.

What can I expect?

Year One: Year of Devastation

Have you experienced...

A catastrophic sense of loss?

Severe disorientation?

Seemingly overwhelming levels of fear, anger and pain?

Is everything in your life in a state of flux?

Have you been forced to go back to work?

Have your children had to change school or leave friends?

This is the most difficult phase of divorce. It’s crucial that you seek help during this first year. Are you ready to reach out?

Year of Devastation Coping Suggestion: Have dinner weekly with someone you care about.

Year Two: Year of Recovery

After the initial year of devastation, in which disorientation rules the day, the second year is characterized by adjustment and recovery.

Are decisions a little less agonizing?

Have the nightmarish fears begun to subside?

Are you beginning to allow yourself to grieve, learn, and begin to accept the changes in your life?

Have the tears begun to move from panic and hysteria to healing tears of pain and loss?

Does revenge seem less attractive?

Are you beginning to find a new identity?

Are you ready to begin exploring the possibilities?

Counseling in this phase focuses on re-constructing your life – adjusting and growing in this new reality. Let Lifeworks counselors help the recovery begin.

Year of Recovery Coping Suggestion: Pick out something you've always wanted to do (finish college? take horseback riding lessons?) and do it!

Year Three: Year of Renewal

This is the year you’ve been waiting for. Are you...

Experiencing personal and spiritual growth?

Putting down new roots?

Are you thinking of dating?

Are you ready to reclaim lost dreams, or even cultivate new ones?

LifeWorks can help you thrive in this exhilarating but challenging year.

Year of Renewal Coping Suggestion: Spend a day alone (your wedding anniversary, perhaps) going through old photographs and memorabilia from your marriage. Keep the things that are associated with good memories and throw away the rest.

No matter what phase of recovery you are in, Lifeworks can help. At LifeWorks, we want to help find that elusive door to recovery and walk through it. Are you ready to seek help? Call Lifeworks today! We want to help.
