Encourage others - share your expERIENCE

 I came into Divorce Care with walls up!! I felt only my friends or individual counseling was what was going to help me through such a lonely stressful time in my life. I WAS SO WRONG!!! Divorce Care showed me that it is okay to feel all the different emotions I had and a variety of ways to work through and cope with them. To hear other’s stories and views gave me a perspective that I wasn’t expecting. The positive validations I received from our leaders and participants gave me strength and hope for my future. I would highly recommend for anyone going through divorce;; or even if it has been a few years of being divorced, this program. It gave me my self-esteem back and you get to meet people from all walks of life. Different people, different perspectives but one objective—acceptance , validation & camaraderie, guidance for one’s journey through their divorce. Walls came down! With God’s Guidance & Love ~Tracy~ 

I would recommend the Divorce Care ministry to anyone who is wanting to grieve this tremendous loss. In addition to grieving, I learned many other things that helped me through this, and found ways to cope with my emotions, and also skills to help me begin a new life as a single person, after being married for many years. The other members of the group are supportive and caring, and even though they may be further ahead on their journey of healing, they share what helped them, and this is the encouragement I needed. 

This loss is different in many ways from other losses, and I felt accepted in ways I really needed.

The leaders are trained, and lead the group with skill and compassion. I was also helped in deepening my connection to God and my faith, which is also very helpful for members who want to do this.

 I joined DivorceCare as a way to seek emotional support as I entered into my second divorce. I joined just 3 moths after my separation and I really did not know what to expect. I just knew I needed guidance and wanted that to come from a spiritual nature. Marc and Jenny, our leaders, were immediately warm and welcoming and it felt like a safe environment to listen and talk. It was both encouraging and a little sad to hear from others in my community that were experiencing some of the very same things I was in my journey. But I definitely felt I was not alone. I still have a lot of healing to do but I am so glad I joined DivorceCare and I might even tag along for some more sessions in the next group! 

I am so thankful for Divorce Care. It felt like a huge leap of faith to go to a group like this, but I am so thankful that I did.  It really helped me so much at a time in life when I did not know how I was going to move forward. Jenny and Marc created such a welcoming and loving environment and truly have such a heart for each person going through this difficult process. It was so healing to get to know other group member going through similar challenges and to realize that I was not alone.  The content was also very practical, and it was very beneficial to listen to practical suggestions on things like surviving the holidays or how to talk to your kids about divorce. While the content was excellent, I really think the most healing part of the group was the relationships formed with our leaders, Jenny and Marc, and with other group members. I personally felt like I experienced the love of Christ through the compassion and acceptance shown to me in this group. Thank you, Jenny and Marc, for being the hands and feet of Jesus. I will forever be grateful!
