See the former husband and former wife separately,
then together. Ask them what they need and want to say to one another.
Ask them to write out their expressions and be willing to speak
them as part of the Ceremony. Have them study the process and hand
each of them a copy.
Help them to come to an agreement. Remind them that by their willingness
to participate in this Divorce Blessing Ceremony and the Mending
The Broken Circle process, they are breaking new ground for the
future of humanity.
Request that the grandparents be present and perhaps one friend
of each. And, of course, the children.
See the children before the Ceremony. Listen to them. Ask them
what they would like to hear their parents say to them, and to
each other. Ask them what they want to say to their parents. Then
have them write that down and be willing to speak those words at
the Ceremony. Remind them that they are loved, that they are not
abandoned, and that this divorce is not their fault. That they
are safe in God's care. That they are not alone and that they will
be okay! |
