Yolanda Hadid Took Her Divorce From David Foster Especially Hard

Grieving after a divorce is perfectly normal and may cause both psychological and physical symptoms. After all, this period marks the end of one stage in life, even as it offers the hope and possibilities of a fresh start. Therefore, it’s common to feel lost and experience negative emotions like guilt, shame, anger, and loneliness.

Yolanda Hadid clearly went through a significant mourning period following her separation from David Foster. In fact, the experience was so intensely overwhelming that she felt the need to leave the house they shared and find a new place to call home where she could begin the healing process. “It was very important to me to find a healing space that is mine and a place for my children to call home,” Hadid confessed in a 2016 episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” She added that her new home felt safe and gave her a sense of belonging.

The mother-of-three admitted she didn’t see the divorce coming, which added to her distress. In January 2015, Hadid wrote on her blog that Lyme disease took away her ability to do basic things such as reading and writing. At the time she published the post, she was still relying on her husband and feeling grateful for his support. Sadly, the couple announced their separation by the end of that same year.
