184. Divorce Grief: Letting Go of the Life You Imagined & the Loss of “What Could Have Been”


Listen Later

The hardest grief after divorce isn’t just losing your spouse—it’s losing the life you imagined. The future you built in your head is gone, and your body feels that loss deeply.

You’ll Learn

  • Why “what could have been” grief cuts so deeply.
  • How the nervous system reacts to unfulfilled futures.
  • A framework for releasing the imagined life with compassion.

💎 Ready to release what never came true? Join A Different D Word
and find safety in rebuilding the life you deserve.

So many women believe they’re grieving a man. But the truth? You’re grieving the life you thought you’d have—the milestones, the security, the love story. This episode explains why “imagined future” grief feels heavier than we admit, how your body processes that loss, and why rushing to “move on” only prolongs the pain. Healing means mourning what never was, so you can live fully in what is.

Divorce grief isn’t just about your ex—it’s about letting go of the imagined life.
