Divorce/Break-ups are many times very painful because it actually involves multiple losses. For example, you are losing this companionship, support in many different forms, your plans and dreams of the future with this person, and sometimes the “known” family unit. Thus, you are grieving.
Grieving after a divorce/break-up is a normal process. You may feel emotionally drained, confused, hurt, sad, happy, terrified, excited, overwhelmed, or a bag of up and down emotions all in one day. Know that it is normal to have different feelings after a life situation change such as a divorce/breakup.
Therefore give yourself a break – such as permission to cry and/or have a bad day. Also remind yourself that you still will have a future, and you can create it with new hopes and dreams. Finally, you do not have to go through this process alone.
