Maria Shriver details ‘brutal’ divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger: ‘I was terrified’
“I Am Maria: My Reflections and Poems on Heartbreak, Healing and Finding Your Home,” the 69-year-old author details the end of her marriage to Schwarzenegger in 2011 after 25 years.She also touches on how the “devastating, life-altering blow” started her on a journey of self-discovery.“It broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me,” Shriver writes, per an excerpt of the book obtained by People on Monday.“Without my marriage, my parents, a job — the dam of my lifelong capital-D Denial just blew apart,” she adds. Shriver’s parents, Eunice and Sargent Shriver, passed away in 2009 and 2011, respectively.“Now, much has been written about the end of my marriage,” she continues, “and frankly I don’t feel like I need or want to discuss it here, or anywhere.”The journalist and former first lady of California adds that she was “consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness and anxiety.” She was also “unsure now of who I was, where I belonged.”“Honestly, it was brutal,” Shriver says in her new book, “and I was terrified.”The mom of four also made sure to celebrate her children — Katherine, 35, Christina, 33, Patrick, 31, and Christopher, 27 — in “I Am Maria” for showing “courage” during the implosion of her marriage to their famous father.“Everything about their world and the sanctity of their home got uprooted in an instant,” she writes.
