The Coping and Rebuilding are programs to help people manage the trauma of separation, divorce, or widowhood. Volunteer facilitators, each of whom has participated in the programs, work with groups of participants to give support and share experiences. Anyone may participate. Since the first Washington DC-area session in 1989, thousands of people have taken these programs to help them through the ending of their relationships. The Arlington Diocese Office for Family Life sponsors both programs. Participants of any religious affiliation are very welcome. The Rebuilding Program is designed for adults that are separated, divorced or widowed who are beyond the initial trauma and wanting to move on. The program generally follows the book "Rebuilding - When Your Relationship Ends" by Bruce Fisher (this book is given to participants at the first meetings, and is paid for by their registration fee). Weekly topics are intended to "form" stepping stones that help one move ahead with rebuilding his/her life. Rebuilding meetings are held from 5:30PM - 8PM (we suggest you arrive by 5:15) on Sunday evenings for nine weeks (excluding Easter). The next Rebuilding session begins February 26, 2012. Rebuilding topics include: Rebuilding blocks Grief Fear Guilt and rejection Anger Self worth, letting go Openness, trust, and risks Relationships Social Participants read the relevant chapter prior to each meeting. Facilitators give a presentation about their experience with the topic, followed by smaller breakout groups with facilitators and participants.
