Even in the best circumstances, divorce is a sudden event changed my life. You are not the sameperson you are before the process begins. However for some, the challenge of redefining himself is divorced is even more difficult than the divorce itself.
This is especially true for women, who often are the care givers, family's back are harmful to theirhealth and identity. They ensure that the needs of their spouse are met, the children were fed, andtheir nest is in order. Between the cooking, cleaning, worry, and loving, can lose themselves. And when the divorce is final, they faced a crisis of identity.
I recently spent the weekend with a group of women who in black tops of this journey: near the top of the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.

"So many women stuck in a rut for years. They live in the limits of frozen food and sweat pants,unable to see life beyond the cul-de-sac, "Tetia told me. She explained that many of his guests to feelas though their lives have been narrowed down, nothing more than rumor, neighborhood and familyneeds; they don't know anything about the construction of a different identity.
Tetia describes his work as a reminder so that woman still has a big beautiful world out there that is just waiting for them to claim.
