Separating with Love book cover by John Lack
How we separate matters

An ending can also be a place of meeting in connection.

Separations are often shaped by blame, avoidance, unresolved tension or the attempt to cut each other out as quickly as possible. Sometimes distance is necessary. But not every ending needs to lead to loss and disconnection.

Separating with Love offers another possibility: making space for grief, appreciation, taking responsibility and letting go while staying connected to the beauty of the relationship that was probably also there.

It explores a path of meeting a difficult transition with more compassion and choice.

Author · coach · facilitator

The book grew from my own journey of separation.

My work as a relationship coach and facilitator explores how we stay connected to ourselves and each other in moments of closeness, conflict and change. When my former partner and I were ending our ten-year relationship, we needed to apply all of what we had learned so far to meet this transition. The book is the essence of what supported us and others in these processes.

The book is intended as a companion for reflection, conversation and a more conscious way of moving through an ending.
