When my ex-husband’s wife left, life told me, “It’s over.”
I received a question from a woman who spoke of a strange feeling of liberation, amazement, and even guilt. She said she was surprised by an inner sense of relief after learning of the death of her ex-husband’s wife. She didn’t wish her ill, nor did she hold any grudge or desire for revenge. On the contrary, she grieved over her sudden passing. Nevertheless, she felt a profound sense of liberation, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her chest.
This type of feeling cannot be reduced to moral judgment or superficial analysis. What happened is not merely a coincidence of life; it is an expression of a much deeper movement: the movement of energy, the process of restoring balance.
When a woman becomes involved with a man who was previously married, especially when it occurs in circumstances involving pain or brokenness for the other party, what happens is not simply a “new relationship.” Rather, there is often a break in the invisible spiritual order. Something is being unjustly taken away. Something is not built on light or pure intention. This doesn’t mean that someone will be “punished,” but rather that life, by its very nature, always seeks to restore balance, in ways we least expect.
The woman who asked the question had long ago ended her relationship with her ex-husband. She had forgiven, matured, and rebuilt herself. But she carried within her a trace of unfinished energy. With this event, she didn’t exact revenge; she was liberated. She was liberated from a cycle that had remained open despite all attempts to close it.
The relief she felt wasn’t the result of schadenfreude, but rather of the unspoken end of an invisible path. It was as if life whispered to her: “It’s over, you can move on in peace.”
Sometimes, we don’t fully understand what we’re feeling. But our souls know. They know when to close the circle, when to return to truth in silence, and when to gently return to our essence.
