The Courage to Be a Single Mother Becoming Whole Again After Divorce by Sheila Ellison
Divorcing with children presents mothers with special and extremely challenging situations. The Courage to Be a Single Mother guides divorced mothers through the changes; through the guilt, fear and anger of this traumatic event. Author Sheila Ellison shares her own experience tackling
tough challenges, including: talking to one's children, family,
and friends; finding an attorney; dealing with visitation and restraining
orders; coming up with a new and livable definition of "family";
nurturing angry, sad, and confused kids; enlisting support from
friends and loved ones; quieting one's inner questioning and guilt;
finding faith, and more. She offers creative suggestions to make
the most out of summer vacations, negotiate holidays, and explore
inexpensive and fun activities for single parents and their children.
Though
filled with practical, reassuring guidance on single parenting in
the modern world, this is much more than a book on coping--it
is an inspiration for women; it will help them discover strength
they didn't know they had. It will help women put the pieces back
together.
In
her online communities and workshops, bestselling author Sheila
Ellison teaches divorced mothers how to revitalize their energy,
self-worth, and spirit--as individuals, as women, and as mothers.
Now, in The
Courage to Be a Single Mother, Ellison offers a refreshingly
real and honest book that will help women and mothers everywhere
recover from their divorces. Ellison uses her own stories, as well
as stories told by dozens of others, to empower women struggling
with the enormous and unique demands of being a single parent. Sheila
Ellison revolutionizes how single mothers define family and support
in her book The Courage to Be a Single Mother.
