Listen, Angelina Jolie has been through a lot since she and Brad Pitt decided to call it quits in September 2016. If you’ve been following their story, you know it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for both of them. But as the two-year anniversary of their split came around, it’s clear that this time has hit Angelina pretty hard.
According to sources close to her, Angelina is really starting to feel the void in her life now that Brad isn’t part of her everyday world. "It’s really hit Angelina recently how empty her life feels without Brad by her side," an insider told Hollywood Life. And get this, the 43-year-old has been going through all seven stages of grieving this breakup, which is no small feat.
Struggling to Move Forward
Now, you might think that the hardest part would be the anger stage, right? But guess what? Angelina’s really been struggling with the last stage—redirected hope. This is where she has to accept that life will be OK without Brad, and that they will never be together again. It’s a lot for anyone to process, even someone as strong as Angelina. "She's been through so much, and while she's pretty much accepted that she and Brad won't be together again, it's still a tough pill to swallow," the source explained.

A Look Back at Their Love Story
Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Angelina and Brad met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. Just a year later, Brad announced his divorce from Jennifer Aniston, and the rest, as they say, is history. Together, they have six children: Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10. "They shared so many incredible moments together, not to mention raising six kids. A big part of her still believes that Brad was the love of her life and her soulmate," the source added.
So, it’s no surprise that moving on has been a massive challenge for Angelina. "She hates the idea that she'll never meet someone else, but she can't picture herself with anyone but Brad," the insider revealed. "The truth is, she just can't imagine what that person would look like or who they would be, other than Brad. And let’s face it, that ship has sailed." Here’s hoping Angelina finds happiness again soon!
