Hi Miney10,

I’m sorry 🙁 Breakups are never easy. It sounds like he wasn’t feeling it and ended it, and it doesn’t make it any less painful when it just didn’t work out between two people.

But it sounds to me like you are coping. It’s going to hurt, and it might hurt for a while. And that’s okay. It’s normal to grieve. It’s normal to be sad. It’s normal to think to the future and hope that he comes crawling back! But you can’t live in those spaces. You can be sad, grieve, day dream…but you have to go on living your life. Call over your friends for pizza and Ben&Jerry’s and a good chick flick or two. Be sad with them. Or go out dancing. And be sad there too if you have to. Take a hike in a beautiful place. Cry at the sunset. Whatever it is that will help you feel better, do it!

Don’t shame yourself for how you’re grieving and what you’re feeling. Just feel, and breathe, and live, and one day you’ll start to move on. It gets easier with time. And if time is passing and it’s not getting easier, talking to a professional will always help.

From someone who has had their heart broken–I know what you’re going through. You’re going to be okay, I promise.
