That's the most-heard reader comment about this one million copy bestseller by internationally-renowned divorce therapist Bruce Fisher.Rebuilding features Fisher's "divorce process rebuilding blocks," a proven nineteen-step process for putting one's life back together after divorce. Clearly the most widely-used approach to divorce recovery, the "rebuilding" model makes the process healthier and less traumatic for those who are divorcing or divorced--and their children. Over two decades of research and practice are combined with feedback from hundreds of thousands of men and women who have usedthe book on their own or in one of thousands of Fisher divorce recovery seminars worldwide.

Just the right balance of shoulder-to-cry-on and kick-in-the-pants self-help!

Let's hope that you don't have to make this purchase due to your personal life events, but if you go through such drastic events, it's great to have this book by your side. It dissects each and every emotion you possibly go through during the time of grief or loss and helps you reason with it. For those of us who need logical reasoning for everything, who really believe in healing process, and being mentally healthy and strong, will love this book.

A friend lent me this book when my husband left me and I was in the depths of dispair. I was reading anything I could find to try and help me understand, but this is the one book that really helped. I latched onto it like a life-preserver to a drowning person. I have read each chapter several times now, and keep getting more out of it as I progress in my healing. I returned my friend's copy and bought my own (which I have now in turn lent to a friend in need.) One of the revelations I found comforting was simply to know what the physical symptoms of grief are - that my sore throat, my aching chest and my dry mouth were all manifestations of my emotional trauma. This book felt like I was talking to a friend who had been there and back, and could take me by the hand through the healing process and help me find my way back to joy. Please read it if you are hurting from the loss of a relationship - it will comfort you a great deal and help you move forward constructively. Then lend it to someone you know who could be helped by it. -Inga W. Holmquist
