When Will the Pain Go Away? Part Two... Joy and Pain, Sunshine and Rain! || Divorce Devil Podcast #234 || David and Rachel

Are you over 40 and feeling stuck in the messy middle of divorce recovery? 💔 You’re not alone. On this episode of the Divorce Devil Podcast, hosts David and Rachel get real about the heartache, unpredictable triggers, and emotional rollercoaster that come after the initial shock of separation—but before true healing begins.

We dive into the bell curve of pain, from rock bottom moments (hello, sudden tears and sleepless nights) to random triggers like holidays, family traditions, and even splitting up the Christmas ornaments. 🎄 We share our personal stories of hitting low points, trying (and sometimes failing) to “fake it till we make it,” and learning to let go of expectations—like waiting for apologies that may never come.

Whether you’re dealing with co-parenting chaos, feeling isolated, or questioning your own worth, our honest conversation offers hope and practical steps. From cutting toxic ties to reaching out for help—even if it’s hard—we cover the real challenges and small victories that come with rebuilding your life after 40.

Remember, healing isn’t linear, and everyone’s timeline is different. What’s your biggest challenge in the “middle” of divorce? Drop your thoughts or experiences in the comments 👇—let’s support each other on this journey!
