February 11, 2007: I recommend this incredibly useful book to my clients to use as a support towards helping them work through the emotional and psychological issues that are inherent in the anguish of a divorce. ?Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends? presents the ?rebuilding? model of divorce through providing the reader with the ability to focus on one issue at a time in individual chapters that separate the issues, such as ?Loneliness?, ?Anger?. ?Self-Worth?, and ?Sex?, inter alia. This book is essential. Sherri Donovan, Esq., author of Hit Him Where It Hurts: The Take No Prisoners Guide to Divorce.

November 11, 2004: I read this book after a painful divorce with someone I loved very much. I loved the person, but could not live with his actions any longer. This book helped me become a stronger person and realize that it was important for me to be out of that situation. Several years later I was remarried and we lost our baby to SIDS. I remember going back to this book. It helped me want to continue living and take stepping stones to move back up the mountain. Now I have a new friend who is having trouble letting go of a bad relationship and I am buying this book for her.
