Divorce is devastating. But what is most devastating is the sheer volume of people who let themselves get emotionally destroyed while going through a process that half the population has already gone through. Why don’t we talk about it more? Why is divorce so taboo and frankly unbroachable?
This book gives you all the necessary details and specifics that you need to know. Should I get a divorce? Should I work through it? How the hell am I going to survive and thrive after my divorce? I loved how simple and direct this author writes.
I wish everyone would read this book if they were going through or contemplating a possible divorce. Even more important, I wish everyone could read this book before getting married. It is a fantastic guide to help you avoid a bad relationship from the start. I love this book and could not give it a higher recommendation. Hands down the best Self-help book of the year!

This book is written for people who are going to get divorced. I read this because I know the author and attended the book launch.
It provides good insight into the process and helps people know what potential situations to expect. It also paints a reassuring picture that yes, "No One Dies from Divorce".
My favorite part was the chapter on vulnerability. "'Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.'". I identified with this chapter and how it related to my life.
The book was well written and easy to read.

“I am not pro-divorce. But I believe everyone deserves love and happiness…the facts of your relationship aren’t what matter; the real issue is that the facts of your relationship are keeping you from being a better version of yourself.”
“No one deserves to be miserable in their situation. And if there is no hope or realistic expectation that the situation will get better, then divorce makes sense.”
He looked me in the eye and said
I don’t want intimacy.
I’m not capable of a relationship.
I don’t see a world in which you and I satisfy each other as partners.
Divorce makes sense.

This book helps you answer questions from the start of the process, like “Is my marriage salvageable”, through the end of the process, like “I’m divorced; what do I do with my life now?”. I loved the perspectives from the author as an experienced divorce attorney. But I also appreciated the personal stories from her clients, including some ex spouses with NPD and BPD and what it’s like to divorce a high-conflict spouse. Gave me a lot to think about. Valuable and encouraging info.

Despite what you would think from the title, this book is not only for someone going through divorce! Would highly reccomend reading this book if you want to improve your relationship with a spouse, family, friend or even yourself!

What a valuable book!
The writing was easy to grasp and understanding that my feelings were normal was reassuring. I have been married to what our marriage counselor and I believe is a near narcissist. 28 years of thinking I was a bit the crazy one! His affair woke me up.
Though not final yet, the process is long and difficult but I am already feeling more unpowered to be me.
And hey! Knowing “ No One Dies from Divorce “ is definitely a PLUS!!!
Thanks
