In 1944 Lykkehus divorced from her husband, which led to a period of instability in her life, involving heavy use of various drugs. She was reportedly close to death when her mother and an old friend intervened, forcing her to go to rehab. Her theatre career had stalled during this period, and Lykkehus returned to the stage in 1958 at Riddersalen.[3]
