How do you healthily get through the grief of a lost relationship?

6 year relationship. It’s been 8 months since the split. Seen him recently and he seems to have moved on faster than me. Makes me question some things but overall I wanna be over it already. I need useful Advice for moving past this sadness. NOW

Mooooore time. 8 months to 6 years is nothing how should you be expected to heal in such a short time?? Healing has to come at your own pace not your ex’s, but you also should try not to be afraid to heal. However I also think some people are simply not to be gotten over. You can heal from a relationship without being “over” someone. To let someone imprint and be a part of you forever even though they won’t be part of your life forever is a beautiful thing.

@GRAPE thank you for this. I’m gonna try therapy next

@GRAPE yes go for it! Never had much luck myself, can’t open up to random people in that way. I had to do a lot of introspection instead lol. I think you’ll be fine in the long run, most people are 😃

@GRAPE I feel I’ve been so introspective that I’m not sure how much more honest I can be with myself. I’m hoping the therapist can present A mindset shift because I’m just mourning and longing. I’m scared of how long I’ll be stuck with this feeling considering how long the relationship was

@GRAPE don’t be scared, 8 months is literally nothing like I said !! It’s so reasonable to feel the way you do now! As long as you make an effort to better yourself the time isn’t wasted

going to be single again for first time in a while later today. how do you guys move past things? even if im are happy about things ending, frustration, mourning, annoyance, and a plethora of emotions are still so present. how do you balance life and get things done in times of emotional upheaval?

give yourself time to heal

it’s horrible when people just end relationships with no reason, i’ve been there. you will for sure spend lots of time thinking “why” or “what if…” but the main thing you need to remember is that it’s their issue, not yours. you did your best, loved, and now deserve to heal properly. go through the grief and grow with it, cry as much as you need and allow yourself to feel that sadness. however, unless you think it’s strictly necessary for your process, don’t reach out to them to ask why. sometimes the answer you’re seeking has already been given to you simply by their lack of explanation (and at some point even respect).

cry

break ups suck ass, it's important to mourn the loss. This might not help you, but when i was broken up with, i told my self that i'm a boat. This boat is still, it's sat in the middle of the ocean (the unknown) and it's just bobbing up and down. It doesn't need to go anywhere, it doesn't need to know how it got there, it's just there. After time, you'll want to start getting some wind in the sails and aiming for land, and so one day, you'll start moving on. I'm nearly 7 months from my break up and i still think about and of her everyday. It hurts but this is just the way i'm dealing with it. crying and journaling helped me!
