Grief is often misunderstood in the healing journey after betrayal—but it’s absolutely essential. In this episode, Lisa unpacks why grief plays such a central role in recovery from betrayal trauma.
When infidelity or sexual addiction is exposed, the betrayed spouse isn’t just grieving an event—she’s grieving the loss of the marriage she thought she had, the loss of safety and security, the loss of identity as a cherished wife, and even the future she once envisioned.
Lisa helps you understand that grief isn’t a one-time step—it’s a process. You’ll learn why moving through denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and eventual acceptance is not only normal but necessary for true healing.
You’ll also discover how couples in the Marriage Redesigned program learn to grieve together—the betrayed spouse grieving what was lost, and the unfaithful spouse grieving the false self and the destruction caused.
Grief, when embraced, becomes the bridge between devastation and hope—the pathway God uses to move you from ashes to beauty.
Tune in to learn how to let grief do its sacred work in your healing journey so restoration can begin.
