"Rosalind Sedacca has invaluable information to share with divorcing parents. There is no other book a couple needs to help them with the most difficult conversation a parent can have with a child, that their parents are getting divorced. You are VERY lucky to have found my partner in the peaceful divorce movement."
Belinda Rachman, Esq"Rosalind Sedacca has just improved the lives of countless children. I have practiced divorce law for 44 years and will attest to the importance of how children are introduced to their parents' divorce. How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce? gives us something simple and sound to rely upon. There is absolutely no downside to Rosalind's storybook concept. It's all good and it beats anything else that I've come across. In fact, it's great and it is definitely something that the world has needed. The book is a winner and it is also a lifesaver."
J. Richard Kulerski, Esq"Rosalind Sedacca has made a monumental contribution to self-help resources in an area that affects the lives of millions of men, women and children. After 32 years of counseling people in various stages of uncoupling, I can testify to the urgent need of a "how to" guide for people contemplating divorce. This book offers them a "life preserver." I have already referred my patients to this material and have received great feedback. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."
Beverly Gibel, LCSW, ACSW, BCD"Rosalind Sedacca's 'How Do I Tell the Kids about the DIVORCE?' is a much needed breakthrough in the emotional minefield that parents traverse when they prepare their children for an impending divorce. The template, storybook strategy sends sensitive, kind, loving and safe messages which every child needs as they prepare for the scary unknown. I recommend her book for everyone who has children and is contemplating divorce."

The Opportunity of Valentines Day — even for the divorced!
The Opportunity of Valentine’s Day
With Valentine’s Day a big part of this month, I’m sharing with you commentary written by my friend Lisheyna S. Hurvitz M.A. Ed., a licensed mental health counselor in private practice in Boca Raton, FL.
Every February we get reminded that Valentine’s Day is close by which means love is “in the air” — or is it? People start going through their mental lists of who they love, who loves them and will they or won’t they have a special Valentine this year.
This day can especially wreck havoc with those that have recently separated, divorced, widowed or split up from their significant other. Many get depressed and feel left out of the loving holiday spirit if they are single.
The truth is that love is in the air. You do have someone you love in your heart. It could be a mother, brother, child, teacher or other special someone. This holiday is much broader than just associating it with a significant other.
Love comes in many forms and Valentine’s Day is a valuable day to use as a reminder of how blessed we are in ALL of our relationships. It is a day to express gratitude to those that make a difference in our lives. You can send a card to your child thanking them for their love and for being in your life. You can send flowers to your auto mechanic for keeping you and your family safe all year long. You can send cards to family members across the country that you rarely see, letting them know you love and appreciate them.
It is truly a day to celebrate love. I invite you to use the month of February to create an attitude of gratitude for all of the various loving relationships in your life. And then give yourself permission to express that love in words, cards, flowers or whatever moves you.
Have fun with this holiday. There is no need to be depressed if you are not paired up on Valentine’s Day. The more you acknowledge the loving relationships you do have in your life, the more filled with love your heart becomes. And then you too feel more connected to others as they do to you. It is a time when happiness can grow within you and all around you. See how many people you can express your love and appreciation to for this Valentine’s Day and all month long. This project will create more joy for you and everyone around you!

I spoke with Lisheyna Hurwitz today. I highly recommend checking her out at http://www.Lisheyna.com. I feel warmed and touched by how she openly shared her experience and wisdom with me. Lisheyna helped me feel clearer about a decision I am making by providing the connection between the heart and the head that I haven’t gotten anywhere else. I am so thankful for that gift of balance!
Thank you Rosalind for recommending her!
