Big Occasions

Unravelling a marriage is a complex business, involving extended families, children and friends. The complexity of this process is brought into sharp focus on big occasions - marriages and deaths.

The social expectations surrounding marriage and death can throw the aftermath of divorce into sharp relief. Even if you have managed to establish a workable modus operandi, death and remarriage can plunge you back into primal emotions.

On formal occasions like these, the carapace of good manners can armour you against destructive feelings of rage and powerlessness.
