  My Ex Is Getting Married And It Hurts Like Hell. How To Handle It BY JACKIE PILOSSOPH Founder, Divorced Girl Smiling, Former Chicago Tribune Columnist and Features Reporter, Huffington Post Blogger and TV News Reporter My ex is getting married and it hurts like hell!! That’s what I wanted to shout several years ago when I found out my ex was engaged. Not because I wanted to get back together with him, but because of  many other emotions  stirring around in my head. I don’t care how much time has gone by or how long a person has been divorced, when you find out your ex is getting married, not only does it hurt, but it is a true shocker, and there are many feelings associated with it, including the feeling of injustice–like unfairness.

I’ll never forget where I was when I found out my ex was gettin...

Divorce isn’t just something to survive. It’s something that can set you free. The Neuroscience of New Beginnings Here’s the first revelation that changes everything: Your brain is literally designed to help you rebuild after trauma. Dr. Melanie Greenberg’s research shows that novel experiences trigger cascades of neurotransmitters that create new neural pathways, providing alternate routes around your brain’s pain centers toward possibility.
