E. Goldstein's article on the Huffington Post today about "What Really Helps" is a great one. It talks about the compassion you need to show others when listening to them and trying to help them.
My good reviews by readers of my book sense the compassion I have for wanting to help them. I tell about my "dark days" in divorce, how to deal with all the negatives and compassionately try to move them to see the UPSIDES that are there too for them.
For divorced or separated people, what really helps them are friends and family that know divorce/separation -- knowing what they are feeling and how to get them felling better is most imortant.
My book about my divorce can take them through what the next two years of moving on past divorce is all about and how to do it successfully.
If you need help or are interested in helping others in divorce or separation, see more of my book info at "upside of divorce" at Amazon or at my own website, Self-Help-Products-and-Services.

Children Affected by Divorce
I have read many blogs and articles about children and how they may be negatively affected by a divorce.
There are many support groups for adults in divorce and almost as many nowadays for children as well.
In my own experience, my boys were 16 and 19 years of age and seemed to be OK with their Mom and Dad's troubles and didn't appear to take any one side of it either. There wasn't a lot of yelling between us at all and perhaps that made it a bit easier on them too.
I wrote in my book about how very important it is to not put your children (as well as friends and family too) in the middle of your divorce or separation and this alone will help ease their concerns or responsibilities too.
As a positive note here, I believe that our divorce actually made our boys mature a little faster than they might otherwise have done.
And that was a GOOD thing and maybe even an upside too!
