Divorced Christian Woman

Post-Divorce Grief (Does it Ever Go Away?)


Listen Later

Today we get honest about the grief that shows up even when you know you made the right decision. In this episode of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast, we’ll answer a real question from a Flying Higher member who's been circling back to her grief and wondering why she can't just move on.

What we uncover might surprise you. It's not just about missing him. And it's definitely not something you can solve by scattering unity sand in a river.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • What you're actually grieving might not be what you think: Is it really him you miss, or is it something else entirely that you haven't let yourself name yet?
  • There's a hidden layer of grief that most divorced women never even look for, and it might be the most important one.
  • Dissonance is real: Can you grieve something you didn't even want? We have something important to say about this.
  • Is there a timeline for grieving a marriage? My answer might feel controversial, but also like the biggest exhale you've had in a long time.
  • Crying in the bathtub, journaling at midnight, lying face-down on the floor: what do these things actually do for your grief, and why do they work?
