All The Firsts After Separation & Divorce
Description
All The Firsts After Separation & Divorce
No one prepares you for all the firsts after separation or divorce.
The first night alone in your home.
The first birthday you’re not there to wake your child.
The first family dinner, school event, or holiday morning without your usual rituals.
They’re more than emotional. They shake your sense of identity. They make it real.
And they can leave you feeling heartbroken, unanchored, and unsure how to hold yourself through it all.
In this episode, I talk about:
- What makes these “firsts” so hard
- Why it’s not just grief. It’s identity, fear, and even guilt
- How to support and scaffold yourself through them
- Simple ways to create space for both the pain and possibility
Whether you're still in the thick of it, or quietly reflecting on how far you’ve come, this episode is a gentle reminder:
You’re not alone.
You’re doing something brave.
It's hard, and heartbreaking, but not impossible.
And one moment at a time is more than enough.
