In an opinion piece for LBC, Lorin Krenn explores an often overlooked reality of divorce: the profound emotional and identity loss that many men experience, and the lack of support available to help them navigate it.
Drawing on his work with men and relationships, Lorin argues that divorce is not simply the end of a partnership but the loss of a shared future, daily routines and a sense of self. While grief is universal and affects both men and women, he explains that many men have been conditioned to suppress vulnerability, making it far harder to seek help or express pain.
The article highlights the importance of creating spaces where men can process grief without shame, whether through honest conversations with friends, therapy or dedicated coaching and support frameworks. Rather than viewing vulnerability as weakness, Lorin suggests it is an essential step towards healing, rebuilding identity and creating healthier relationships in the future.
