Minisode 599: On the grief of breaking up

Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

It’s been a long time since I got divorced the first time in 2006. It was also a much different situation and we didn’t have kids. Kids throw a whole different level of complication and sadness to it.

In this minisode, I talk about the process of getting separated and then divorced, and the things that are taking me OUT while doing so.

Things like packing up…looking at my bathroom drawers empty.

Finding old pictures and cards while packing up of the years passed.

And more.

I end the episode talking about how multiple feelings and experiences can be true…you can feel grief and sadness for what’s ending to the nth degree, and also hope, excitement and optimism for what’s to come. That, we’re at choice about.
