I liked this little bit:
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
The pain of divorce is a shadow pain in our culture. People going through severe break ups or divorce can have intense emotions but largely these feelings go ignored or missed by others. Our culture does not embrace the harder emotions (typically) and of all the types of grief, the grief of break up and divorce is probably one of the more unacknowledged varierties.
