1. The Sacraments

Staying close to the sacraments is an absolute necessity if you want to repair the damage that divorce inflicts. It will keep your faith and hope for the future, and get real, lasting healing.

With all the powerful emotions, sadness, confusion, you will find more consolation and peace in the Sacraments than anywhere else.
