Could you use a helpful book resource list for yourself and your children as you’re journeying through the process of separation/divorce?  A Friendly Divorce has provided such a list.  Please go to http://afriendlydivorce.com/category/bibliography for a comprehensive list of books for adults and children of different ages.  Sometimes it is helpful to have some resources to guide you though the process.  Yes, you can rely on the assistance of “well-meaning” family and friends to help, but resources written by experts in the field can bring a dimension to the situation that may be missing.

So often, parents are not sure how to talk to their children about separation/divorce.  This resource list has many different books for children ages 12 and up, 8 to 12, and up to age 7.  Some of the books provide guidance to parents about how to talk to their children and some are geared directly to the children.  When a child knows that they are not alone in experiencing separation/divorce, it can go a long way to heal their hurts and normalize their situation.  Separation/Divorce is a very scary experience for children.  You want to do what you can to help them through it.  You also owe it to yourself to find valuable resources to assist you along the journey.  I hope this list is helpful for you and your family.
