Grief.
Breakups are grief. Let yourself grieve.
Nobody talks about it.
But they should.
Breakups aren’t just endings.
They’re grief.
Grieving who you were in their arms.
Grieving what you thought it could be.
Grieving the version of life you built in your head the one where you both stayed.
And here’s the thing about grief:
It doesn’t follow a timeline.
It doesn’t care if it’s been 3 weeks or 3 years.
It just wants to be felt.
Not tidied up.
Not explained away.
Felt.
So if you’re in the thick of it right now
The ache, the confusion, the way your body still reaches for them in the morning
I see you.
Let yourself feel all of it.
The rage. The relief. The craving. The collapse.
The shame for missing them.
The shame for not.
Grief is sacred.
It’s a ceremony of letting go.
And with every wave that comes, another part of you comes back to you.
Slowly.
Softly.
You heal.
Not because you force it
But because you allow it.
Let yourself cry in the car.
Let yourself laugh with friends.
Let yourself miss them and still choose yourself.
You’re not broken.
You’re birthing something new.
🌊
You’ve been here before.
This time don’t abandon yourself.
And if you need a little cry this song will help ♥️
