About This Book
Description
In this revised edition of "Catholics Experiencing Divorce, the authors underscore and highlight from a Catholic perspective some approaches to dealing with the often-tumultuous experience of divorce. According to authors Vicki Wells Bedard and William E. Rabior, "Catholics Experiencing Divorce is solution oriented, not problem oriented. The major underlying theme of the authors' reflections and suggestions is that divorce requires some degree of emotional and spiritual healing. "Catholics Experiencing Divorce, Revised Edition, helps facilitate that healing process by focusing on accepting the pain of divorce, healing it, and moving into a new life. "Catholics Experiencing Divorce begins with the need to move from coupleness to singleness, from loss to acceptance, from pain to peace, and from darkness into a new life. The authors discuss the role of the Church and community during this time, the stages of grief, personal resources, and the prospect of happiness in the future. The authors have extensive experience as social workers in working with divorced and divorcing Catholics. In addition, Vicki Wells Bedard has personally experienced the pain and struggles of divorce herself.Additional Product Information
