Discussion: How can mom heal after divorce?

Sherry works with women who are thinking about or are going through recovery from divorce. Many of her clients are women who are thinking about whether they want to stay in the marriage or not. She has created a model to determine if the marriage is salvageable and  supports them in their process, whether they choose to stay in the marriage or if they decide to leave, helping them to minimize the trauma to the family system. She helps women figure out who they are again, get their identity back, and fix their "picker" so the next time around they get into a relationship that sticks!

1) Sherry shares with us what happens if women do not honor their grieving process and how it repeats patterns in the next marriage.

2) We discussed how important it is to distinguish if you are grieving the loss of the spouse or the loss of the family unit. Many times women are often surprised on what they discover.

3) Ways you can support yourself and your kids in the grieving process:

4) It is important to take part in healthy coping mechanisms, kids pick up on them. Sherry shares how to sit with your own negative emotions.

5) Tara share what she feels is her finest parenting moment..."The Kitten Story".

6) Sherry shares how to carve a positive experience in this recovery process.

7) We learn in depth about the difference between the "leaning in partner" and the "leaning out partner". How it is important to know which one you may be in terms of the ending of the relationship and grieving process.

8) Anna shares her experience of going through her parent's divorce.
