Divorce with Grace

Description

In this ground-breaking work, one family shares their strategies, thoughts, and feelings on how they were

able to reverse the negative emotions and outcomes related to ending a marriage and build toward a healthy goal of cordial relations post divorce. What happened along the way resulted in creating a deep bond and mutual respect which far exceeded their initial goals.

Each member of the Taylor family shares their perspectives on each topic for a well-rounded account of how they achieved the intended goal to have a friendly relationship post-divorce for the sake of their daughter. With a goal of looking ahead to the future and not behind to blame, the Taylors were able to focus on the truly important matters: their shared interest in their only daughter.

With this commitment paramount, Paul and Jennifer met weekly for what she coined “transitional counseling” whereby the goal was not reconciliation but a healthy way to part with respect and grace. Paul drove from the mountains into the city each week for the sessions and the two of them met after each session ended to continue the conversation at a local watering hole at the end of the block. For nine months, Paul and Jena attended these sessions and the result of their work is described in this book and serves a model for families thinking about or going through divorce, or family and friends who are caught in the fray.
