Extended Family Relationships: Staying Friends with Former Lovers and Spouses Author: Kevin B. Burk, Author of The Relationship Handbook It's natural to want to maintain a relationship with our former romantic partners (assuming that the relationship ended on reasonably good terms, of course). We shared a special bond with them, and they touched our lives and contributed to our sense of self in ways that we cannot even begin to describe.

Can We Still Be Friends?
Author: Kevin B. Burk, Author of The Relationship Handbook
Even when we know it's time to end a romantic relationship, we're often reluctant to let go of our partners completely.
We've shared so much of our lives with our partner, it seems almost callous to simply cut them out of our lives--especially if we're ending the relationship on good terms. It's natural that we want to hold onto the loving and supportive part of the romantic relationship, and simply let go of the parts that aren't serving us.

HOW TO HEAL YOUR HEART
Copyright 2004, Carna Zacharias
We all experience severe heart break at some time in our lives.
For many it happens in childhood or adolescence, the time when
we are most vulnerable. A cold mother, an absent father, being
different in any way from our peers and ostracized for it -
these are some of the reasons for the early feeling that
something is wrong, inadequate and utterly disappointing about
us.

Life After Divorce
Copyright 2004, Margaret Manning
Sometimes I wake up and try to remember how I used to feel. Back
when life had a shape, love had a focus, dreams a reality. I try
to remember the feeling of my skin being touched, my heart being
ignited like a fire catching the wind on a barren desert night.
The electricity of a kiss. Storms of passion circle in my mind.
I feel the pain rising to the surface and I sob bitter tears of
regret, strong waves of shuddering emotion pulverize my shaking
heart as I try to be a warrior in the face of negation.

HOW TO BECOME HAPPILY DIVORCED
Copyright 2004, Cathi Adams
Do you cringe when you hear the word divorce? 'Divorce'
conjures up thoughts of sorrow and unhappiness. When you say you
are divorced the response is, 'Oh, I’m sorry'. You hear
condolences for the 'death' of your marriage. Next question is,
'Are you dating?' Then if you say no they always ask, 'Why not?'.
Many people think you can’t possibly be happy if you are alone.
Loneliness is a choice. I am often alone but I am rarely lonely.

Divorce Advice: Getting Divorce Advice From the Right Source
Copyright 2004, Karl Augustine
Getting the right type of divorce advice depends on what type
of divorce advice you want and what you want to use it for.
When looking for advice about divorce, it is smart to clearly
define what you are seeking the advice for so you can be sure
to look in the right places.
Seems simple enough right?
Yes, but...lots of people who are deciding about divorce and
seeking divorce advice lump the categories of divorce advice
into one, and that's a big mistake.
