Is this you?
You are hurting from divorce and you have turned to your parish for help, but the only thing they can offer you is a caring smile. You need more — and you need it now. Your life is in turmoil and you are in deep emotional pain. And, if you have kids, it only magnifies your pain.
You are not alone. Only 10% of parishes nationwide have any kind of divorce support resources for Catholics. That means 90% of Catholics experiencing divorce have to wait, many suffer in silence. That doesn’t have to be you.
The Wait is Over.
Help Delivered Right to Your Door
The Recovering from Divorce Program has helped thousands recover from divorce. The Home Study Kit is designed to allow you to tap into that same healing right from your home.
No longer do you have to wait until a parish happens to offer a divorce support program. No longer do you have to go to a non-Catholic church to receive divorce support. And, no longer do you have to worry about getting babysitters to watch your children so you can go to a divorce support group.
Now you can attend the same program that has helped so many, right from the comfort of your own home — on your schedule.

Session 7

Children are the innocent victims of divorce. This session teaches the essential keys to helping your children cope with divorce. It gives concrete strategies for helping your children move past the intense pain and uncertainty of divorce to accepting its reality and thrive.
Session 2
Handling Anger
Anger is a normal emotion, especially when dealing with the reality of divorce. Learn the proper and healthy ways to use anger and the warning signs of when anger is not being channelled properly and what you can do to avoid its destructive consequences.
Session 8
Our Own Self-Worth
This session examines the damage divorce causes to one’s self esteem and self-worth, and helps to reaffirm your inherent value by exploring God’s unconditional love for you.
Session 3
Why Did God Allow This To Happen?
This session deals squarely with the question of why would a loving God allow you to go through such an emotionally and physically destructive event as a divorce. Learn how God never abandons you no matter how alone you might feel.
Session 9
The Value of Suffering
Suffering is often looked at as something that is harmful and should be avoided. Our Catholic faith teaches otherwise. This session addresses the challenges of suffering, why God allows it, strategies for dealing with it, and how to use it to help you recover and improve.
Session 4
What Does the Church Teach about Divorce
There is so much confusion and wrong information associated with a Catholic experiencing divorce. Can I still be Catholic? Can I still receive the sacraments? Can I ever get married again? What is an annulment and why do I need one? are just some of the questions addressed in this session.
Session 10
Working on Forgiveness
Forgiveness is key to healing from divorce. Yet, it is often so difficult to do. This session addresses the difficult challenges of letting go of your marriage and helps you start the process of forgiving those that have hurt you.
Session 5
Tapping Into the Sacraments
The sacraments are the most powerful gifts Christ gave the Church. Sadly, many Catholics don’t take advantage of them nearly enough. This session teaches the power of the sacraments, especially the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation, to heal and provide the graces needed to weather to storm of divorce.
Session 11
Dating and Intimacy
The Catholic Church’s belief on the permanence of marriage creates many challenges for the divorced Catholic. This session deals head-on the question: “Can I date after my divorce?” by providing sound teaching based on 2,000 years of wisdom. This session gives solid strategies for grabbling with the challenges of being “single” again.
Session 6
Dealing with the Former Spouse
One of the most challenging aspects of divorce is dealing with the former spouse. This sessions gives key strategies in how to deal with a difficult former spouse, how to build a more cooperative relationship with them, and why a good working relationship with your former spouse is key to your children recovering from the divorce.
Session 12
Mary Our Mother
Mary is our spiritual mother, model of virtue, and comforter. She can teach us so much about enduring difficulty, remaining faithful, and living a life of virtue.
Session 13
Hope for the Future and Our Vocation in Life
This session helps you understand that you were created by God for a special purpose, how your recovery from divorce has given you new experiences and insights to fulfill this purpose, and some strategies for discovering and living this purpose.
