How Divorce Shatters Men - And How to Rebuild: Divorce, Grief & Growth w/ Jill Kaufman
Jeff Kolez · 46 min
A therapist-divorce-coach on why divorce hits men as grief and what 'I'm fine' is hiding.
Takeaway
Divorce isn't just paperwork - for many men it's a quiet identity collapse they bury and call 'fine.' Naming the loss out loud is what lets the rebuild start.
Reflection
01
Pick one low-pressure way to signal 'I'm here, no fixing, no judgment' to the man you're worried about - a standing weekly walk, a Sunday check-in text, an offer to watch this together - and put it on your calendar this week.
02
Write down the loss he probably can't say out loud yet (the house, the daily time with his kids, who he thought he'd be) - then draft one sentence that names it gently so he knows you see it.
03
Note the next time he says 'I'm fine' when he clearly isn't, and plan how you'll stay in the room anyway instead of letting him close the subject.
