Divorce Recovery Support Groups

There's no doubt about the fact that divorce is a life-altering experience.   Paperwork and an appearance before the judge seal the legal details, but individuals who go through the process often need more support than a judge and lawyers will give.

Thankfully, there are more resources available now to people who want help recovering and rebuilding their lives after divorce.   While everyone works through recovery in their own time, it often helps to find a local group of people who are going through the process at the same time.  

This list offers a few places where people are meeting to heal from divorce.   The links below are all for organized groups who meet off-line because, even though this site is dedicated to solo cooks, recovering from divorce should not be a solo process.   It's important to reconnect with people locally who can help you rebuild life in the here and now. And who knows, they may even host a potluck where you can show off your cooking skills.
