In this episode of Happily Abandoned, we’re talking about the first stage of healing after abandonment: denial. Denial can feel like a shield—it helps us survive the shock. But staying in it too long can keep us from moving forward.

We’ll explore what denial looks like, why it shows up, and how to start facing the reality of loss. You’ll also get practical tools like journaling prompts and affirmations to help you work through this stage with more clarity and self-compassion.

If you’ve been avoiding the truth because it feels safer, this episode is for you.
