Surviving the Fog of Divorce

Divorce is considered the second most stressful life event for an individual, after the death of a loved one (source The Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory).

We all experience loss at some time in our lives. I've experienced many losses -- breaking my neck at 15, the sudden deaths of close friends in college, my cousin's murder, my father's losing battle with ALS -- but none of these prepared me for the disintegration of my marriage.

While I was going through the separation process and then the actual divorce, I was surprised at the lack of resources available to me as a man. I guess men are supposed to just suck it up and tough it out, right?

Given the lack of resources, I decided I would create a resource.

So I developed a membership-based program (with optional coaching) and a seven-step proprietary process aimed at guiding men through, what I call, "the fog of divorce." The Seven Steps are:

1. Private Time - Mourning Has Broken
2. Ground Support - Finding Objective Personal Supporters
3. Air Support - The Value of Using a Professional
4. Friendly Fire - Grieving the Death of Your Marriage and Starting the Healing Process
5. Take Inventory - Your Attributes, Skills, Talents, Gifts, Achievements, ...
6. Familiar Ground - Get Off the Couch and Out of the House
7. Roll Out - Create and Take action Towards Your New Life Goals (TM)

As each man's experience is different, this program is meant not as a prescription or cure-all, it's more like a healthy buffet. Take as much of what you want right now and come back for more as you need it.

If you're a man (or you know a man) currently moving into, going through, or experiencing challenges in the aftermath of a divorce who is looking for coaching, community, support, etc., please request more information and join my Facebook and/or LinkedIn Divorce Coaching for Men group.
