This book, Moving Forward, based on the author’s doctoral research, mines the ancient divorce ritual, the GET, for its wisdom in healing the wounds of divorce in the modern secular world. Unlike the Jewish tradition, the modern secular world offers no ritual to honour the good in our failed marriages, mourn the losses, and move forward with dignity and respect. The book weaves together the wisdom of the ancient sages, the authors many years of clinical experience, and the needs of those in the modern world facing the wounds of divorce, to provide practical, psychological, and spiritual considerations for those seeking, in our modern world, to create their own archetypal healing rituals of divorce.
