Weekly Separation & Divorce Support Meeting

Our meetings are conducted by facilitators that have personally survived divorce and have been doing this work for 15+ years. Each meeting usually begins with discussion of an article related to separation, divorce, dating, etc. that is sent out in a broadcast email to everyone in our group who has submitted their email address to us. We also allow for some “open discussion” time during each meeting. In addition, one meeting per month we conduct a group discussion using a book entitled “Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends” (written by Bruce Fisher). This book is considered one of the best resources available to help with rebuilding your life, your sanity, your relationships and your future after separation and divorce.

I believe we learn as much from each other sharing our experiences as we do from the book or articles. As renowned psychologist John Bradshaw said “…we can’t effectively grieve alone…” which is why a support group such as ours is so important to the healing process. In our group discussions we tackle anything and everything related to separation and divorce, including; emotional issues, fear, trust issues, loneliness, sexual issues, dating again and children related issues during divorce.

We believe strongly in doing the PERSONAL GROWTH WORK necessary to become an emotionally whole and healthy individual. The idea is to let go of “needing” someone else to validate you. You ARE already all you NEED. It’s part of the normal human condition to “want” to share your life with another person. But it becomes a problem when we are “needy” for this, as in trying to “replace” our lost love with a new person. We encourage people to fully grieve their lost love and recover themselves emotionally before starting a new relationship. It is much healthier to “desire” a partner to share your life with as opposed to “needing” a partner to validate and support you. Approximately a third of our members have been divorced twice (or more) and learned this the hard way.

We hope you will connect on Zoom and join us for a Tuesday night meeting!

We utilize front-end ticketing software for our Tuesday night meetings. You’ll need to use the link above to purchase a ticket in advance for each weekly meeting. It will then send you an email with the unique code to get into that week’s meeting. There will always be several future weeks available for advance purchase – but please ensure that you only purchase the exact nights you plan to attend – and save each confirmation email you receive as each one will only work for the specific week purchased. The amount going to SDR is $5 per week – but we unfortunately have to add one dollar to that to cover the system costs and credit card costs. So the final cost to you will be $6 per week using this system. There are other options available that we will share with you after you begin participating in our weekly meetings.
