Episode 7: Grieving the Loss of a Romantic Relationship
Welcome back!
Today’s topic deals with grieving and mourning the loss of a romantic relationship. A person could have played a big part in your life, they could have been your rock, or you might have spent a lot of time with them. Then all of sudden they aren't part of your life anymore and you have to adjust to that. I discuss how the five stages of grief apply in the loss of a romantic relationship. The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, sadness (in some cases its called depression), and acceptance. I believe to be able to grieve and heal from a break up you have to allow yourself to feel your feelings. I remind you of the idea that you were your own person before they came into your life, and you are your own person after they left. Then at the end of the episode, I also shared my grieving process and where I am at today.
