Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce

287. The Grocery Store Aisle That Breaks You: Why Everyday Moments Hurt Most After Divorce


Listen Later

...and then there’s the moment you’re just standing in the pasta sauce aisle, realizing your life doesn’t come in a set of two anymore.

No one warns you about that part of life after divorce.
The everyday grief. 

The way your stomach drops when you reach for a family-size anything and remember: it’s just me now.

In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff unpack why the tiny, ordinary moments hit harder than the big ones — and why the grocery store aisle can feel like a spiritual breakdown near the beans.

You’ll learn:

  • why these moments have little to do with missing him
  • what’s actually happening in your nervous system when that wave hits
  • the parts of you (IFS) that come online in grocery-store grief
  • why your identity feels shaky, young, or overwhelmed
  • the difference between the “old hard” and the “new hard” of healing
  • why your body says no long before your mind catches on
  • how to honor your capacity during the holidays
  • the sentence that will ground you instantly when the grief sneaks up

And later, in our My Body Said No segment, we share the real, raw ways our bodies are setting boundaries this season — and how honoring those no’s is a core part of healing divorce grief.

If you’ve ever pretended to compare marinara jars just to get a second to breathe… this episode will feel like someone finally naming what you’ve been carrying.

Love you.
 See you Thursday for the grounding ritual inside our premium episode.
