I don't want to downplay the seriousness of divorce, I would just encourage women to indulge themselves with laughter. Warren started looking at divorce humor when she was going through her own tough divorce. The communal aspect of laughter, she found, can provide comfort to those who feel alone. We are everywhere. As the taboo of divorce declines, it becomes more acceptable to find solace in the funny and universal truth of it.
Laughter is an escape, and it relieves tension.
Divorce is not easy, and not fun, but according to the one hundred and seven women in this book, one day you will look back at this and laugh. The Vatican released a statement to reaffirm its prohibition on divorced and remarried Roman Catholics receiving communion. An amply debated issue among theologians, the statement decried the possibility of loopholes in church rules that would permit communion for these couples. Couples who plan to refrain from sexual relations are excused from the declaration. The statement encouraged pastors to tell couples privately and with explanation, and stressed that the intention is not to dissuade them from participating in church life.
