When He Leaves: Choosing to Live, Love , and Laugh Again A friend of mine from church gave me this book a few years ago. I was in shock. My spouse had just shared with me he was in love with another woman. I was scared and felt all alone. The book helped me tremedously. I experienced many of the same feelings and thoughts that Kari and Noelle shared in the book. It is a book that gives us some affirmation to those horrid feelings one has when they find out their spouse has betrayed them. The authors wrote the book with their heart, spirit and soul. One feels a connection and I appreciate the references to our connection with God. I would recommend this to anyone who is greiving the loss of a spouse thorugh divorce. I have read it through several times and still are growing and learning. Thanks for Letting me know I am not alone I stumbled upon this book, and decided to give it a try, since I felt like no one could understand the pain and anger I was feeling when my ex left when our son was 3 months old. Thanks Kari and Noelle for sharing your feelings, even the negative ones, which helped me stop blaming myself. I could not make him stay, once he decided to be with his new girlfriend, and this book helped me to heal, and to be aware of the strong woman and single mom I have become. By bringing my feelings of anger and disappointment into the open, I have been able to also see how far I have come, and how much God does provide. He sure does work in mysterious ways! God has provided comfort and strength and given me the courage to go on and live a honorable life, despite this little "bump" on my journey. Thank you, Thank you, for writing this book, and letting me know I am not alone or a failure. I plan to read it again for those times I feel discouraged or alone. Soothing to the battered soul I found this book at the public library...what a Godsend! I decided just a couple of chapters into it...I have to buy a copy of my own. Easy to read in small doses, I laughed, cried, and healed through every page. I will read it over and over, as long as I need to. I've recommended it to friends, even to a Marriage & Family Counselor friend of mine, for her clients who are suffering through a divorce. Down to earth and straight from God, these womens are a blessing. Even laughter! This gem of a book was given to me by a (very thoughtful!) friend, when I was still in the blackest "depths of despair"... and what a book, and blessing, it has turned out to be!!! "When He Leaves" has been healing balm for heart and soul, and is captivating and well written, to boot. Once I opened that first page, I simply couldn't put it down, and stayed up till the (very) wee hours of the morning reading it... laughing, crying and healing my way through. To this day, when I'm most feeling the mighty struggle of this uphill climb, "When He Leaves" serves to add new oomph to my step, and energy to my stride. I've even been surprised and overjoyed by my own hearty laughter over the stories within... I simply can't say enough! If you've been through the pain of losing a husband... READ THIS BOOK, and revel in the comfort and hope hid amongst its pages. AND, if you know someone who's also hurting, I can't think of a more appropriate, truly helpful gift. I am VERY pleased to post a glowing review, and remain one very loyal, very grateful customer! Better, not Bitter Many people say life is about choices, but when Christians experience an unwanted divorce, they must accept the consequences of another's choice. Writing under pen names, two women who know the agony of such rejection write with candor and compassion about starting over. "When He Leaves" is aptly subtitled "Choosing to Live, Love, and Laugh Again." As the co-authors tell the heartbreaking details of their separate journeys to divorce, they also share the little steps of hope as they saw God's compassion in their circumstances. Sometimes people hesitate to give books to those who hurt; this is one that should be given, with a heart-felt hug that says, "I care." See also:
