The book "Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends" by Bruce Fisher, is a fabulous resource when you are recently separated, or even if you are in that limbo stage and trying to decide whether to split.

I suggest taking your time and reading one chapter at a time. Reading it cover to cover would be too much to take in all at once! Digest it bit by bit; bite by bite-size chunk. Read it in private becuase it will undoubtedly bring up a lot of emotions.

When I separated and read this book, it felt like it was written directly to me. It guided me through the process and stages of recovering and rebuilding. My brother lent me his copy, then a year or so later I was so happy to give my copy to a friend who separated from her husband. Since then, I have given it to quite a few friends when they separated, and each have found it really helpful.
