R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Thoughts for R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Women

“Grief is itself a medicine.” ~William Cowper, Charity

Someone typed those words "Divorce Recovery Fast!" into google and they ended up at the www.midlifedivorcerecovery.com site. I know how she feels. I wish it were that easy. Many of the tips and resources available at our site will indeed make recovery easier and faster, but that’s still not very fast in real days and hours. In fact, when you are in the middle of any kind of grieving, the hours seem to sludge along minute by long, lonely minute. I felt so horrible in those early days of my own divorce recovery that I thought to myself that if I didn’t get better pretty quick I might actually die! Every single day for a while I would try to just make it until I could get back in bed again and sob through the quiet, dark night. I think that’s the nature of grief. There’s no hurrying it along. You have to go through it. It’s not grieving if you just sail through it without any agony and despair. The thing is, once you do that real gut-wrenching grieving for what you’ve lost, you can at some point dry your eyes and build on a strong, solid foundation. If you never really grieve, you haven’t done the cleansing work that you have to do and you always stay on a foundation of jello, and you’re never quite able to move on like you should. For more help with the grief process, go to the www.midlifedivorcerecovery.com home page and click on the information about R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Grieving: The grief of divorce. That e-Book will give you the tools and the permission to grieve like you should. What you learn won’t make your divorce recovery fast, but the process will be faster and more liberating than it might be without that help.
