Grief & heartbreak can impact our lives in so many ways, most notably in terms of identity. Just who do we become when the important people in our lives are taken away from us?

Andrea A Moore and her husband have suffered devastating losses, including that of Andrea’s sister and her husband’s mother in a short space of time. The intense mourning caused by these events greatly negatively impacted their relationship and forced Andrea to ask herself some highly personal questions.

Andrea has joined Lyn today to talk about the effect of loss upon love, and the path to recovery that has helped them both become more empowered and take back their lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
During grief, communication can break down and negatively impact the intimacy between a couple. This can have a ripple effect upon everyone else around them. 
Andrea experienced great anger when she lost her sister. As a result, she lost sight of the fact that at the same time, her husband was slowly watching his mother pass away. This led to a level of resentment and bitterness, which only served to strain the marriage relationship further. 
Andrea’s husband found it difficult to express his grief, as he was conditioned by society into believing that grief is not a “manly” virtue. Counselling was a step they both decided to take.  
Denial is a strong part of the process of grief. Feeling consumed by the depth of your anger, fear and sadness. The fear of how to live now that you feel more isolated. 
One of the most regrettable effects of a relationship breakdown, is the self-analysis that often follows, warped by a sense of what could have been, when in reality, many of those factors at the time, were out of our control. 
Physical grief is a real thing. Some choose to relieve themselves of pent up frustration, anger and intense grief, by lashing out at their partner.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We didn’t know how to mourn. We just kept moving in different directions’ 

‘I got lost in grief and forgot about my marriage’ 

‘It’s almost like a movie that I wish I’d recorded’ 

’The appearance of being okay is not okay’ 

‘What people think about you is none of your business’ 

‘Your body is grieving’
