Testimonials

63 years old and a 38 year marriage failure - what is left?
Feeling very dispirited and full of despair I registered in the Rebuilders Divorce Recovery Program. My facilitator expertly guided through specific step by step practical course that dealt with ME as I grew to accept my singleness. The companionship and emotional support of the group was recognized as an amazing plus. Since my completion of the course I have been a Volunteer Helper at two more sessions. It is heartwarming to witness such healing that takes place with each person. A wonderful program.

Rebuilders opened up my life in ways I never expected. it helped me understand what I contributed to the break-up of my marriage and helped me deal with my anger, fear and self-esteem. It opened up a whole new support group for me. I still get together with friends I made in Rebuilders.

I was fortunate enough to take the "Rebuilders" course with Peter Day, January 2000. I found the course to be a lifesaver. Not only did I learn to deal with my feelings about my marriage breakup, I learned tools to help me cope with all the changes in my life that I was going through. I learned to laugh again and to feel good about myself. I met many people who where going through the same things in their life, and many of them have become very good friends. I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to "get past the hurt" of a marriage breakdown. I would also recommend "Loving Choices" as a follow-up course. This course enables us to find ourselves again and plot a course for a fabulous future.

I highly recommend both courses and would say a huge "thank-you" to Peter Day for offering them to the public for such a nominal fee.

I took the Rebuilders program in the Fall of 2000, it was one of the best gifts that I could have given to myself. The process that I went through and the growth that I experienced was so incredibly helpful for me. Our group (of 20) was a very dynamic, incredibly diverse group of folks, we started out where the only thing that we had in common was our pain and knowing that we needed to heal, but not knowing how to. Rebuilders gave us the guidance that we needed, to move forward. Through that process, we grew close, we became so much more than the walking wounded, we became good friends. Right now, I am in a comfortable place in my life, where I can actually date other men again - that was something that I couldn't even comprehend one year ago. I came a long way in a short time, I am very happy.

After my twenty-year marriage ended I was very hurt and confused. I had no concept of being an unmarried person. It seemed everything in my life had changed and I didn't know the rules, or how to play the game of life as a single person. I was referred to Rebuilders by an acquaintance who had a similar experience. The eleven week course helped me to re-establish my self-esteem and my identity as an individual. It helped me to deal with the emotions such as anger, guilt and pain and most importantly, it helped me to make sense of the events and effects of separation and divorce. It was very helpful to spend the time with a group of people who were dealing with similar issues. I was a participant in Rebuilders two years ago. Today I am functioning again as a happy person, at peace with myself and my life. The tools I learned at Rebuilders have influenced all aspects of my life. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity and still remain friends with many of the people I met during that time of crisis. I would recommend it to any man or woman who need assistance in sorting their feelings around separation and divorce.
