Divorce Is Worse Than Death

De: Stanley McCluskey

Narrado por: Dominique Brightmon

Divorce or the death of a dream can sometimes be as devastating as the death of a loved one. This book wasn’t written to encourage or discourage divorce, but to help people who are going through it to realize that it’s OK if this is how you feel. Divorce is complicated. Some may rejoice while others feel like they just lost their best friend. There is no “one size fits all”, and it’s OK to grieve. My parents got divorced when I was twenty years old and it has been the single most traumatic event in my life. Their deaths, in comparison, were not even as painful. At the time I was simply told to “man up” by friends and family.

Fortunately, today, professional help is available and there are many more solutions and options for healing. My story, as well as dozens of other real-life stories from those who have gone through a divorce or been affected by it, are included so listeners can better understand and relate to the myriad feelings that surface as a result. A variety of topics are discussed including heartbreak, grief, the loss of one’s home, legal and financial ramifications, children and custody, dealing with family and friends, the outlook of various faiths and finally, moving on. While each divorce is unique, there is hope for all provided in this audio.

Many Perspectives

I went through divorce in 2018 and I have to say I wish that I had this book then. The power in the anecdotal stories and perspectives this book provides is really unparalleled. I will be the first to say I never really thought about the male perspective of divorce until recently. I assumed that men had all of the power because they historically have been the higher earner or sole provider in the household. You gain insights about the male perspective of divorce that you may otherwise not have known or considered. So thankful, and appreciative to have been able to connect with the author. Stanley is a master public speaker and it clearly shows in this book with his ability to capture you through story telling and allow you to feel some of these challenging emotions during one of the most challenging times of your life.

Highly recommend this book for anyone separated, considering, or currently going through divorce. It will bring you comfort to know you're not alone.
