6 Books To Recommend To Your Newly Separated Friend

Listen, y'all know I'm all about the books.

And I've been so extremely quiet lately, just sort of consumed by my own thoughts and stuck in my own head - so I thought I'd take a few minutes and share this post that might help you or someone you know.

Whether your friend is separated or on the road to divorce, there are so many books out there that they might find to be helpful.

There are others that just look like they'd be a bunch of nonsense.

So, how to decide what to read?

Maybe you're thinking - she's not going to want to read a danged book! She's hurt. Grieving, even. In a lot of emotional turmoil/upheaval/pain.

But trust me. Sometimes she's not really sure who to talk to and how to organize her thoughts. And so her best friend for a short period of time will likely be her favorite new journal, and a really good and understanding book.

A few that I can personally recommend will be listed below. These links are affiliate links - which means I refer you to the site to make your purchase and your order will support me when I go to buy my next book.

I started off by describing these titles, as I would normally do, in a way that might explain why they could be the perfect read for you. But then I decided that it would be best for you to just head on over and determine for yourself - or for your friend - what you or they might benefit from. Or maybe you can just send them this post. Not trying to self-promote, even though that IS kind of what I'm doing here, I know. I'm just trying to encourage you to encourage them to pick up a book or two. To remind themselves that they're not the only one going through this. That they're not alone.
