I'd like to start compiling some resources to aid our group in accepting our situation and moving forward with life. 

Most of us sign up here in the early stages (we often call it the trauma ward).  Everyone experiences this stage differently of course, but most of us get through this in around 6 months.  

So what happens after we come through the trauma stage?  We start to accept being single, being a single parent, running our household on our own.  We start working on our mental health, self-esteem, trust issues, etc..   We start thinking about what we want our future to look like (finding a new partner perhaps?).  


I think our forum does an amazing job helping each other get through the trauma ward, and that's our real purpose. But I think we also have an opportunity to help each other through healing and moving forward with our lives.  


Between myself and Maresyd and anyone else who's interested, we are going to start slowly compiling topics, resources, links to other sites, and most of all..  insight from those of us who have been through this experience. 

I'm not sure if this will turn into a sub-forum or maybe just a sticky post with links to other threads.. but in some fashion we will present this information.   If you see something interesting, please consider posting it or messaging me so that i can keep track.   Keep an eye our for requests from me for input from the group, as much of this will be based on the experiences of our members. 


Thanks!
