You know more than anyone how unbearable breakup grief can be.
It not only threatens to fill your days with a low grade fever of sorrow and regret, but can also consume your mind with unwanted, obsessive thoughts. As almost against your will, you find yourself going over every little detail of why things went down the way they did.
In spite of your efforts to move on, you may find yourself wracked with guilt, or overwhelmed with unresolved anger and resentment.
You may seriously worry about your kids, if you have them. Hoping with all your heart that somehow they’ll not be scarred for life.
You may be terrified that you’ll never be happy again. Or filled with a fear deep down inside that you’ll never be able to trust opening up your heart to anyone ever again.
Breakups can be one of the worst experiences any of us will ever have to go through.
And learning to move through the pain in a way that can transform the trauma into what psychologists call Post-Traumatic GROWTH isn’t organic.
Contrary to popular belief, time does not heal all wounds.
We do.
