Testimonies from DivorceCare Participants

I didn’t realise how much my past trauma was affecting me, leading me into depression. I thought I could struggle through the difficulties of my divorce alone.

Embarking on the DivorceCare program had been life changing. It equipped me with practical tools that helped me see hope and God’s hand at work. The support from the facilitators was incredible, and the videos resonated deeply with what I was going through. I’ve learnt how to manage my emotions better and to apply God’s Word, trusting in Him. By God’s grace, I’ve experienced healing through this program.

The feelings of unworthiness, grief and humiliation overwhelmed me through the course of my separation. At the DivorceCare ministry, the support group provided a safe place for sharing without condemnation or judgement. I learnt of God’s sacrificial love and forgiveness for my failures. God assured me of His constant presence on this very lonely journey with His grace, mercy, healing and the promise of a future as I learnt to surrender my broken dreams and my life to Him.

I was not a Christian when my former spouse initiated the divorce. It was during the divorce proceedings that I surrendered my life to Jesus and subsequently decided to join the DivorceCare program. I was still fairly new to the Christian faith.

At that time, I was overwhelmed with self-doubt, uncertainty of the future and the fear of rejection by others. I tried very hard to cover up my feelings of shame and disgrace.

The DivorceCare program provided a safe and encouraging space for me to open up to share about my emotions and struggles, which was a big step for me. Each participant had a story to tell and we all felt supported in our sharing. Through this journey, I have become more assured of my identity as God’s child and of His love for me. I no longer feel alone in my troubles. Putting my trust in God, I have found strength and courage to face my future.

DivorceCare showed me that even years after my divorce, the wounds were still there. Time doesn’t heal—but God’s Word does. Through the program, I found hope and restoration. The group reminded me that healing happens in community where shared stories and prayers, reflect God’s love and care. I’m grateful for the parenting resources that helped me better understand my children’s struggles and nurture a Christ-centred relationship with them. Healing is a journey, but I trust God to replace my wounds and sorrow with His peace and joy.

The pain of going through divorce was the biggest crisis & trauma in my life. The journey through the Divorce Care programme has helped me understand myself better. I don’t feel as lonely and helpless as I was guided to process my thoughts and emotions as part of my grieving and healing.

I am learning to rely on God. He has saved me from my depression and suicidal thoughts. I had cried out to God, wrestled & questioned Him many times. Each time, God has shown Himself to be real, sovereign & timely. My walk with God has become closer. I trust in His goodness and perfect plan for me.

My divorce journey would be very different, if not for the kindness and care that I experienced from the people at this program. Their support and encouragement kept me from turning away from God. The various topics helped me cope with different challenges, step by step and phase by phase. The videos, working materials and group interactions helped me to reflect and better manage my emotions. I am thankful to God for this healing and recovery journey.

When I joined DivorceCare, I really didn’t know where I was. But now, I’ve learnt to forgive myself. I’ve learnt to communicate with my sons better. I’ve also learnt to let go of the past. And I clearly see God paving my journey even more.

Divorce is the most painful experience of my life. It paralysed me. I felt so alone, abandoned and defeated. DivorceCare has helped me see my pain and heal my broken heart. I am learning to bring joy and hope back into my life.

I thought I would not gain much from DivorceCare as my divorce was finalised more than 15 years ago. But I was wrong. I had depended on my effort to be strong all these years. But I didn’t realise, deep inside, I was disappointed with God, could not trust God completely and doubted His love for me. Yet, during the programme, I felt God’s presence and experienced the assurance of His love and care for me.
