Or
Why is divorce like the grieving process? (Ep004)
Friday, 1 December 2017.
In episode 4 of Divorce Sux the podcast, learn about how the divorce process is similar to the stages of grief.
Reader of the week Carl asks ‘do you think if you guys stayed in NZ, things would have worked out differently? Or just prolonged the inevitable?’ (00:55)
We consider the view offered by Karen and Nick Woodall - the leaver and the left - and that how we experience the end of the relationship depends on whether you are the one to instigate the divorce or not. (03:40)
So why do some consider the divorce process similar to the stages of grief? (06:52)
We also discuss that the idea of ‘stages of grief’ can be misleading, because it isn’t typically a linear process and that I bounced about the various stages like a pinball. (08:18)
What are the stages of grief?
1. Shock and denial
2. Pain & guilt
3. Anger and bargaining
4. Depression
5. The upward turn
6. Reconstruction and working through
7. Acceptance & hope (10:29)
