Remember that healing takes time, and it’s essential to take care of yourself during this period. Lets dive in without wasting time.

1. Feel the grief of breakup

It’s natural to feel a different range of emotions when you are dealing with a breakup. Permit yourself to feel sadness, anger, and confusion. 

It’s okay to grieve the end of the relationship, allow yourself to feel the emotions that come up. Don’t try to bottle up all your feelings or pretend as if you’re not hurting.

2. Talk to Someone you trust

Reach out to friends, or family members who can provide emotional support to help you process your emotions before you move on. Talking about your feelings can be cathartic and comforting.
