Self-Care

If you’re going through breakup grief and it feels like someone died, that’s because—neurologically speaking—something did die. The future you imagined, the person who knew your coffee order and understood your past, the daily reality that structured your entire life—all of it, gone.
Breakup grief is real grief. It’s normal to feel like your world has ended, even if friends and family don’t understand. Your broken heart isn’t being dramatic. Your nervous system is responding to a profound loss the same way it would process an actual injury. The pain is real, the grieving process takes time, and you’re not the only person who feels this way.
This isn’t about “getting over it” quickly or “moving on” before you’re ready. This is about understanding why painful breakups hurt so much, learning self care tips that actually help, and finding your way toward moving forward when you’re ready to create a new life.
