The end of a significant relationship or marriage can feel completely overwhelming. Many people are in shock, feel isolated and don’t know where to start. If left unresolved the emotional effects of a separation or divorce can be felt for years afterwards but it doesn’t have to be this way.

If you aren’t sure where to start… start here! The most important thing you need is support (the legal stuff can generally wait for a little). Make sure that you have a trusted friend/s alongside to support you. You don’t have to do this alone.

The Restored Lives course has helped thousands of people to recover after their separation or divorce – find out how you can go on a course. There is a lot of hope for your future.

In crisis?

If you are in emotional distress or feeling suicidal call 116 123 and speak to Samaritans. We’d also recommend making an appointment to see your own doctor as a way to access professional support. There is no shame in asking for help it is a positive, healthy choice.
