I'm thinking about going to a church divorce/healing group, has anyone done this and does it help? I suppose it would, I know I need to get on with my life, and maybe having others around who are going through this "******" would help. One church has a six week class starting in a few weeks, I have to call a few more of the larger churches to see what they have, one has the divorcecare group that I've heard is very good. I just don't know how to get through all of this, trying to also find a Christian counselor, have a counselor, he's helpful but it's different then I thought, having someone trying to help you get a divorce, putting it off, questioning, what emotions I've been through on this.

Finding a support group was a godsend to me. I found a Separated/Divorced Support Group and went 6 weeks after X left. I broke down crying so many times and really needed to be around people who knew how I was feeling, and could show me the other side (people who have healed).
I made some great friends through this group, because these people saw me at my worst and were willing to help, comfort etc.
I can no longer go due to the night, but consider that group a gift from God during a very trying time. One friend's mom recently passed away, and although people have "graduated" from the group, the bond was tight based on the number who showed up to support our friend.

I never tried DivorceCare but heard good things. One Group I tried had a very negative leader.
There is also a support group for children. www.rainbows.org which is great, and I strongly recommend this.

Go for it. I helped start a DivorceCare group at my church and would highly recommend that anyone going through a separation or divorce find a support group of some sort. Our church didn't have any kind of divorce group when I was actually going through the divorce so I attended a Celebrate Recovery group which is based on the twelve step process and that was better than nothing. When we started the DivorceCare group finding out that how I was feeling was 'normal' was a big relief. I am now nearly two years post divorce and feeling pretty good about life. I don't think I would have dealt with everything nearly as well if it weren't for the support groups.
