## 💔 Heartbreak / Divorce Recovery Group (Bilingual / Bilingüe) Welcome to your Heartbreak/Divorce Recovery Group. We typically have 30 to 50+ participants per meeting, and you are not required to speak unless you feel ready. That said, we do ask that you listen to the opening remarks, which include a short talk and directions on where to access our free website and resource hub. Bienvenido a tu Grupo de Apoyo para Desamor y Divorcio (bilingüe). Normalmente contamos con 30 a 50+ participantes por reunión, y no estás obligado a hablar hasta que te sientas listo. Solo pedimos que escuches los comentarios iniciales, donde compartimos una breve charla y cómo acceder a nuestros recursos gratuitos. *** 💔 This group is for anyone with a broken heart. While many of our members are going through divorce, separation, or the end of a long-term relationship, you do not have to be going through a divorce to join us. If your heart is broken for any reason—loss, betrayal, confusion, or emotional exhaustion—you are welcome here. This is a place for healing, connection, and hope. 💔 Este grupo es para cualquier persona con el corazón roto. Aunque muchos de nuestros miembros están atravesando un divorcio, separación o el fin de una relación, no es necesario estar divorciándose para unirte. Si tu corazón está roto por cualquier motivo—pérdida, traición, confusión o agotamiento emocional—eres bienvenido aquí. Este es un espacio de sanación, conexión y esperanza. *** 🧭 If you are facing the end of a relationship... Whether you’re navigating a divorce, a difficult separation, or feel your relationship may be heading in that direction, you’ve come to the right place. These meetings offer a powerful kind of support that traditional friendships and family circles often can’t provide. By hearing from others who are walking a similar path, you’ll gain clarity, perspective, and strength. Over time, the chaos begins to make sense and the pain becomes more manageable. 🧭 Si estás enfrentando el final de una relación... Ya sea que estés atravesando un divorcio, una separación difícil o sientas que tu relación va en esa dirección, estás en el lugar correcto. Estas reuniones ofrecen un tipo de apoyo que muchas veces amigos y familiares no pueden brindar. Al escuchar a otros en un camino similar, encontrarás claridad, perspectiva y fortaleza. Poco a poco, la confusión disminuye y el dolor se vuelve más manejable. *** 🤝 What you can expect from this group / Qué puedes esperar: • Support – you are NOT alone / Apoyo – no estás solo • Friendship across all backgrounds / Amistad entre todas las edades y culturas • Good times with great people / Buenos momentos con gente increíble • Practical advice and shared wisdom / Consejos prácticos y experiencias reales • Resources – books, therapists, attorneys, and more / Recursos – libros, terapeutas, abogados y más • Meaningful conversation / Conversaciones significativas Our meetings are held **Thursday nights from 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern**, online and open worldwide, with attendees from across the U.S. and other countries.

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
