Denise, it is absolutely amazing that you are writing at this level two short weeks after such trauma. May the process of sifting through what has happened, with pen and paper in hand, be a healing balm for your mind and soul.

Denise, I am so sorry to hear this for you. I am grateful for our loving God who heals and makes all things new. I will be praying for your recovery. You are an amazing Lady, writing and reaching others when the dust has barely settled from your own dust up with your health.

Blessings,

Beth H.

Denise, this article is so wonderful. Clear language and to-the-point! The only thing I would add is the healing power of MUSIC in the process of restoration of physical and emotional health. One minor correction: Divorce is a MAJOR T Trauma--to all involved. It's comparable to a bomb exploding in your face in my honest opinion. Your family, your identity, your security, your basic needs are blown to smithereens. Especially in the church where you are ostracized and left bleeding to death in the aisle as others just look on and shake their heads. Thankfully, I had the support of two beautiful sisters and kept my eyes on Jesus. And thanks to authors like you who encouraged me in my healing process to WRITE THE WORD!

I experienced a major trauma this past year and am now going through another one with my health. This article is so good. I found your book during my first trauma. Thank you so much for your writing. It has helped me SO much. I would agree with Alicia- music has really helped me as well. Also, I have learned to care for myself with long hot soaks in the tub and of all things, coloring! Those two things have been so relaxing. In the past, I would never take the time for things like that. Praying for your healing.
