Welcome listeners to the Let's Talk About Grief Podcast. Our topic today is slightly different from where we normally go. But it's equally as important. It's about divorce.
All too often, the person going through a divorce doesn't recognize the emotional turmoil. Their feeling is that of grief. The relationship is over, but a death hasn't occurred. But indeed, a death has. We just don't speak about it in those terms. It's the death of dreams and hopes of a future with that person that actually dies, that are happy ever after expectations are gone.
And our society doesn't help us either! All too often, people will shy away from people grieving a death. So it isn't surprising that there isn't much support given to somebody going through a divorce.
I know, going through my own many years ago, it was often suggested that: "I'd be better off without the person" or "just go out; you're young enough. You can find another". Looking back on those comments, it made me feel my marriage was disposable instead of a commitment that we had both once made.
I'm absolutely thrilled to have our guest, Velma Gallant, with us today, who's going to be discussing this topic with me. Velma is the divorcee herself who now helps professional women return to joy, using her propriety heart compass method, and is a co-host of a TV show called Heart-repreneur.
Here's what we talk about:
