What’s Love Got to Do With It After Divorce? Everything.

Divorce brings deep grief, loss, and heartbreak. Learn how grief coaching, forgiveness, and hope can help you heal, rebuild, and love again.

When Tina Turner once asked, “What’s Love Got to Do With It?”—the answer, especially in the wake of divorce or broken relationships is everything.

If you are the one left behind, still in love with your ex while trying to pick up the broken pieces of your life, the grief can feel unbearable. Divorce is one of the most painful forms of loss, particularly when you didn’t want it to end, or when betrayal was involved.

Understanding the Loss

Divorce doesn’t just separate two people—it shatters the foundation of a shared life. Suddenly, where love and respect once lived, you may find loneliness, isolation, anger, and heartbreak all crowding in at once.

You don’t just lose a spouse. You lose your best friend, your confidant, your partner in life. You miss the laughter, the quiet evenings at home, the family gatherings, and the beautiful memories you once shared. Along with that comes the loss of hopes, dreams, goals, financial stability, and a future you thought was secure.

Sometimes, even relationships with extended family and mutual friends are lost, leaving you feeling even more isolated. Divorce truly can turn your world upside down.

I know this pain personally—I’ve been there.

Why Divorce Hurts Families

When children are involved, divorce carries even deeper layers of pain. Kids often struggle to process their emotions, both during and long after the separation. They may need counseling or coaching to help them make sense of it all. Most importantly, children need both parents to remain loving, consistent, and cooperative for their well-being.

This is not easy. In fact, it can be one of the hardest parts of divorce.

Paths to Healing

The good news is that healing from relationship loss is possible. Counseling and coaching can provide tools to help you process grief, rebuild, and move forward. Through coaching, I can walk with you as you work toward the completion of that relationship—so you can learn to love, trust, and thrive again.

One of the most important steps in healing is forgiveness. Not because your ex always deserves it, but because you deserve freedom. Forgiveness is not a feeling at first—it is a choice we make. Over time, the feelings will begin to follow. Without forgiveness, old pain can easily spill into new relationships. With it, you open the door to more peace, healing, and to love again.

A Calling to Support You

My own divorce journey, combined with training through The Grief Recovery Method, has equipped me to help others find healing after painful breakups. You deserve to feel whole again. You deserve joy. And yes, you deserve love.

Encouragement

Friend, you don’t have to stay stuck in grief, regret, or anger. Divorce may have left a deep wound, but it doesn’t have to define your future. With support, courage, and compassion, you can rebuild, rediscover hope, and create a new beginning.

If you are ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can move through the pain and toward a life filled with peace, love, and purpose.
