good book(s) for starting over?

[walterismydog]

I don't post often, but I was wondering if any one had any good recommendations for a book about starting over. My six year relationship just ended and I'm just feeling really lost. My friends are awesome and are helping as much as they can, but none of them have really been through this in this way, so it's hard for them to know what to say.
I'm feeling very sad/scared. It wasn't this difficult when I went through my divorce at 24 because...well..I was 24. I still had a lot of growing up to do. Hell I guess I still have a lot of growing to do, but it just feels a lot different this time. I know it'll pass, but I just need something to help me through this. I cannot afford counseling right now. In a few months I should be back on my feet financially and I'll look into therapy then, but for now I am just looking to self-help.

Thanks a bunch

Is the SO board active here? If they all came over there are some nice ladies on that board who've seen it all.

awww silly lil tracy it's you.

I'm so sorry.

Big hugs.

I haven't even looked at that board. I still have a major loyalty to my ML, even though I'm never here. It's ok. It was a long time coming and I know I'll kick ass, I'm just sad sad sad right now. Thank you much <3
ETA - good thought, though. I'll check out SO.

We've had a few divorces that have not left ML but have hung out there and had some helpful advice and support.

ltp, I reached out over there. thanks again for the suggestion!
suesue, thank you. That one was available at my library so I just put it on hold. I appreciate it!

[walterismydog]

thanks, nic. i'll check that one out, too.
quesera, that's sweet of you, thank you. I love your name because my mom used to sing me that song when I was little...and guess what...whatever will be, will be. Awww.

Noooooo! I'm so sorry. Talk to me.

[walterismydog]

Aw, thanks gypsy. I think the weirdest part is that we are literally best friends, but horrible as a couple. I wish I hated him.
Doc, my love...'tis true. Things didn't really improve after the surgery like I had hoped I'll email you tomorrow sometime. I'm going to go run then tie one on with my ladies. But now I really need to come see you!

Any time! Although if you come now, you're going to have to share a room with our gestating wine.
