Lea Abram - Navigating Identity Loss, Loneliness and Grief
Send us a text
The ground can vanish in an instant. When Leah Abrams’ 46-year marriage ended without warning, she fell into a full-body grief that shattered identity, routine, and the story she thought she was living. What followed wasn’t a dramatic comeback—it was the tiniest of choices, repeated: notice the sun on a pine, call a friend, take a breath.
We sit down with Leah—life coach, grief guide, circle facilitator, and founder of Rise Well—to explore how divorce grief extends far beyond a signed document.
She names the hidden losses many carry in silence: a home sold, a community scattered, a career halted, the family unit reshaped. Leah explains why healing must be trauma-informed and whole-body, tending to the physical, emotional, energetic, mental, and spiritual layers that store shock and memory.
Lea’s story is also about belonging in a lonely age. She builds “sudden villages” through online circles—Mindful Monday to begin with intention, Thankful Thursday to close with self-compassion and gratitude—because bread doesn’t rise without yeast and warmth, and neither do we.
She shares how her book, And Then She Grew Wings, emerged only after she could reread her own poems and recognize an evolution: wings don’t mean perfection, they mean permission to lift.
