The Invisible Grief No One Acknowledges After Divorce
About this episode
Fiona May discusses the often-unacknowledged 'invisible grief' of divorce and its impacts on various aspects of life.
Fiona May introduces the “Life After Divorce, Honest Conversation for Women” podcast, a supportive space for women navigating separation, divorce, and rebuilding, with episodes featuring co-host Sandra Lee, inspiring women, and trusted experts. She discusses the often-unacknowledged “invisible grief” of divorce, comparing it to a death without rituals or social support, and explains how this loss can impact identity, confidence, children, career, health, and finances. Fiona describes identity grief, the pressure to appear fine, and how unprocessed pain can turn inward, affecting the nervous system through fatigue, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. She encourages validating the loss, being vulnerable with a trusted circle, honoring what was lost, and healing step by step through processing feelings, regulating emotions, and creating a plan for a new life. She invites listeners to womenontransition.com for coaching programs, events, and community. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
