Being 52 and going through a divorce after 29 years of marriage is not what I had planned or envisioned for my "second half of life" but every day gets a little less scary. I still have some big speed bumps ahead until everything is finalized but have found a lot of help from a book called "Getting Up, Getting Over, Getting On" which is based on the twelve step guide to divorce recovery. I have already read it twice and it does encourage group meetings but I have a great support network of friends (married, divorced, widowed, single) that I feel is enough for me. I'm also reading "The Language of Letting Go" which has been very helpful to me with its daily meditations. I have a long way to go but look forward to my new adventure!
