Dear Heartache,

My story is very similar to yours. My heart was broken over 3 weeks now. After 4yrs together he decided that we aren’t compatible and chose a life without me and left.

The first 2 weeks were unbearable. The pain i felt it was almost too hard to breathe. I just didn’t imagine a life without him.

This week however, I have been able to breathe. I have noticed that I have been able to control a little better the amount of crying, how much pain I allow myself to feel.

What I’m trying to let you know is that you must let yourself feel the pain before it can get better. There was a moment there where it truly felt never ending but the fact that I have been able to feel small glimpses of happy feelings and can see a future is such a releif.

You will heal, you will feel better. I beleive that now. You just have to want to. I have found many articles on this site so helpful. Please read some of them.

You are not alone in this.
