Hi Yi Ling,
There is a support group for those going or gone through divorce which you may want to get in touch. I found this group too late. I wish I know of its existence earlier when I was going through hell. I attach the invitation email for you. Remember, you are not alone in your struggle and you will be able to recover.
Dear Friends,
We will be organising a forum – â€Recovery from aftermath of a divorce†on 1 Dec (Sat) from 2.00 to 4.30pm.
No one goes through a marriage expecting it to end up in a divorce but one in three marriages here will eventually break up leaving many people in tatters.
Moreover, many people who have undergone a divorce situation suffer from a grief that is similar to a loved one passing away.
Some may even exhibit suicidal tendencies and a few making an attempt on their lives to end the misery.
The emotional pain is always intense and overwhelming.
We are fortunate to have invited Dr Fred Toke – a respected speaker renowned for his speaking eloquence and witty jokes to grace the occasion.
Dr Toke earned his PhD in psychology from the US and is a well sought after speaker in the region.
He also manages Family Life Solutions - a one-stop shop that organises seminars and workshops to enhance family relationship ties.
During the forum, he will share on the psychological trauma of divorce and how one can take small incremental steps to cope with the pain.
We hope that you will learn something during the forum if you are suffering from the aftermath of a divorce.
The forum will be held at National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) at 6 Eu Tong Sen Street #04-88 The Central Clarke Quay S(059817). Please use the shopping mall lift up only.
Please email us at
[email protected] or
[email protected] providing us with your full name and a contact number if you are keen to sign up for the event.
There are only 20 places available for the forum and its on a first come first served basis.
Thanks and see you soon.
