New DivorceCare website offers valuable tools for holiday survival WAKE FOREST, N.C., Nov. 19
WAKE FOREST, N.C., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- People in the middle of
separation or divorce often face Thanksgiving and Christmas with dread.
Long-standing family traditions are shattered; the hope and joy that normally
accompany the season are replaced by loneliness and depression. This year's
economic downturn will add even more pressure on people who are separated or
divorced and facing already-difficult financial circumstances.
DivorceCare, an international network of divorce recovery support groups,
has launched a special hope-filled "Surviving the Holidays" website to offer
practical tools and suggestions designed to help a separated or divorced
person construct a healthy approach to the holiday season. The website can be
found at www.divorcecare.org/holidays .
The DivorceCare Surviving the Holidays website includes practical,
actionable strategies that will help separated and divorced people:
-- Reduce stress
-- Minimize loneliness
-- Manage tight budgets
-- Establish new traditions
-- Help children adjust to new family dynamics
-- Help others in need
-- Focus on the true meaning of the holidays
The DivorceCare Surviving the Holidays website features an extensive
collection of online videos with advice from top experts on how to survive the
holiday season, and the real-life stories of people who've experienced the
challenges of Thanksgiving and Christmas while going through a divorce.
"It's not unusual for a person going through separation or divorce to face
the holiday season with dread. Many anticipate a dark, depressing experience
as they face the weeks ahead of and during the holidays," said DivorceCare
founder Steve Grissom. "We've designed this material to help restore joy and
optimism to Thanksgiving and Christmas, even in the middle of a divorce. The
information is not complicated -- it consists of simple steps a person can
take to make the holidays manageable and even enjoyable."
