Life may feel unbearable, and you may be uncertain about how to make it through the day. The end of a relationship is a significant event that brings about change in multiple aspects of your life. Your responses to this breakup will affect you emotionally and physically. It’s important to recognize the stages of grief you may go through:
Denial: You may refuse to accept that the relationship is over and find yourself oscillating between acknowledging it and denying it.
Seeking answers: You may be consumed by trying to understand why the breakup happened, but there may always be unanswered questions.
Bargaining: You may blame yourself and try to fix everything in hopes of rekindling the relationship, but it takes two people to make a relationship work.
Anger: Numbness may give way to anger as you realize you deserve better treatment.
Relapse: Anger may lead you to reach out to your ex in hopes of reconciliation, but this may reinitiate a damaging cycle.
Surrendering: You may come to accept the situation, even if reluctantly, as you realize things cannot go back to how they were.
Acceptance: As you start to accept the situation, you may begin to believe in your worth and see hope for your future.
Healing begins: Take care of yourself and limit dwelling on unanswered questions. Focusing on self-care and forgiveness, especially forgiving yourself, is crucial in reconnecting with yourself and finding strength.
