Divorce and separation can be extremely traumatic for spouses. This is
especially true in situations where the marriage has lasted for a long
period of time, resulting in the complete merger of the lives of the spouses.
A spouse’s life can be turned upside down as now he or she will
be expected to experience life and execute daily tasks without the complete
support of his or her partner.
This transition can be extremely difficult for some and so the following
is a list of books that may help you cope with the effects of divorce
and separation:
