The Empowered Divorce Podcast; Navigating Divorce After Betrayal Trauma and Abuse

141. Grief Overlooked; Q&A Conversation


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful teaching from one of my live Q&A sessions where we unpacked the real reasons grief still shows up—even when you're the one who initiated the divorce or knew it was the right thing. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, Why am I still grieving? Shouldn’t I be over this by now?—this is the conversation you need.

I walk you through five core truths about grief after betrayal and divorce, including:

  • Why grief doesn’t mean regret

  • How you can grieve someone who was harmful

  • Why unacknowledged grief leads to emotional paralysis

  • How to use a grief inventory as a tool for clarity and healing

  • Why the body needs to mourn too—because grief is stored somatically

We explore how to move through grief with more compassion and agency, and why making space for grief (instead of judging it) is essential to healing. If you’ve felt stuck, confused, or exhausted by the emotional layers of recovery—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and a path forward.
