The moment when you realize that what you believed to be true is not the truth is when grief can appear. And that’s a good thing. For me personally, realizing my marriage was not what I thought it was took a long time to process. There was a lot of denial prior and a lot of self-gaslighting because, in hindsight, deep down I knew facing the truth was going to involve a lot of upheaval, change and facing some very hard truths. And that in turn involved grieving the life as I knew it, letting go of some dreams I thought could be real and stories of how I thought life should be.

AND….when I finally gave myself the gift of seeing what actually was true, it opened up the possibility for other opportunities, for space, for expansiveness of thought, for chances in life I never would have dreamed about if I stuck with not living in a truthful situation.

I’m not saying getting to that point was easy. It was incredibly hard and involved lots of tears, life changes and self-work. And being where I am now and allowing myself to see what was really true, was one of the best gifts I could have ever given myself.

If you are grieving a relationship and coming to terms with your own truths, but feel stuck, I see you and want to help. Reach out and schedule a coaching package (link in bio) to work through where you are now to your new life full of truth and possibility.
