Divorced, Hopeless And Ready For A Change? Listen To This

Last updated on: January 16, 2017 at 5:07 pm By Lisa Duffy

Are you ready for a change? People say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting things to change. Does that describe some aspect of your life at the moment? If you’ve been through a divorce, it’s easy to feel stuck, especially at this time of the year. All the parties and celebrations are over. The days are shorter, people aren’t outside much. If you’re coming home to a cold, empty house, you may be susceptible... Read more

4 Words That Can Change Your Life: “Come Die With Me”

Last updated on: December 31, 2016 at 3:50 pm By Lisa Duffy

“Come die with me…” Those words might sound a bit scary, but a dear friend, Kate, heard this in her heart years ago. She and her husband were moving their family to a new location and she was reluctant. But, she knew those words were a whisper from God, gently calling her to accept this new chapter in life. Come die with me. What exactly was God asking? In retrospect, Kate now saw what she couldn’t see at that time. Although... Read more

Speak Charitably About Your Ex This Christmas

Last updated on: December 22, 2016 at 5:01 pm By Lisa Duffy

People like to joke about hibernating during the holidays to avoid everything that goes along with them. “I’d rather just go to bed and not wake up until January 2nd,” I’ve heard many people say, and I think I probably said it, myself, during my post divorce years. When you’re trying to avoid painful reminders and encounters, it’s kind of hard not to feel this way. But the problem with this sentiment is that by avoiding the preparations and celebrations...

8 Essential Survival Tips For Divorced Catholics

Last updated on: December 14, 2016 at 4:22 pm By Lisa Duffy

I remember driving home from work several years after my divorce dreading the thought of walking into my cold, dark apartment. There would be no one to greet me, no one to hug me and ask how my day was. There was no one to cook for, and I usually didn’t eat dinner. I would just sit down with a glass of wine and look for a good movie to watch. I was terribly lonely and depressed. Times like these can be dangerous... Read more

Your Happiness Is This Man’s Mission

Last updated on: December 8, 2016 at 3:02 pm By Lisa Duffy

The desire for love is a yearning that was put in our hearts by God, himself. It’s not simply an itch to be scratched or a need to be met. Love is our calling, our purpose in life. We have been created to love. And the transformation Father Loya hopes to bring about is the epiphany that occurs when a person comes to the realization of the gift that person is to everyone else; family, friends and all of society.

A friend of mine recently found herself in a terrible situation that was so urgent, she had to swallow her pride and reach out for help. She had to break down and spill the beans about how she landed in that awful place… and there were a lot of beans to be spilled.

Hey! Shhhhh. Can you hear that? It’s the sound of family arriving, clinking glasses, children’s laughter, and cheerful music. It’s the sound of the holidays.

Detachment: The Great, Under-Estimated Healer of Broken Hearts (Video)

Last updated on: November 3, 2016 at 4:53 pm By Lisa Duffy

One of the most important aspects of healing after divorce is something many people don’t even recognize as necessary; the act of detachment, or letting go. This aspect might seem very much like forgiveness, but there is an important distinction. Forgiveness is a moral decision, while detachment is more of a practical decision. It requires taking action. Many of the saints practiced detachment through having a preference of embracing only those things that were God’s will and letting go of... Read more
