From We to Me: Embracing Life Again After the Death or Divorce of a Spouse

by Susan J. Zonnebelt-Smeenge, Robert C. De Vries

While we don't like to think about it, marriages eventually do come to an end, either with the death of a spouse or tragically through divorce. This "end" of a relationship leaves the other partner alone and facing an uncertain future. Whether widowed or divorced, the feeling and experience of aloneness--moving from being a "we to a me"---is a common one. This latest book from noted grief experts and authors Zonnebelt-Smeenge and De Vries focuses on two of five grief journey tasks--separating oneself and reinvesting fully in one's own life--offering a unique self-help, psychological, and spiritual guide for the process of helping either the widowed or divorced to redefine and reinvest in life.

2 1/2 stars for this one. A lot of Christian stuff in there which I skipped over along with the parts on the death of a spouse. Not bad but pretty basic stuff.

Excellent resource for going from singleness to marriage following divorce or widowhood.

Very good

Though I am 73 after 53 years of marriage it was interesting to see how a younger couple both with family and love for the Lord was able to find someone else.
