I know we have all heard that song from the sixties and can probably sing along with the chorus "Cuz Breaking up is hard to do." Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know it is hard to do, we don't need songs to remind us of this fact.
Finding the courage and the right words, to tell the other person that you have been seeing that you are no longer interested in seeing them anymore can be a challenge. Sometimes it is even done with an inappropriate text. At least with a call, face-to-face meeting, or even a ridiculous text you have been given some sort of acknowledgement that closure has been sought. Because often times you are left trying to decipher if you have in fact broken up due to no calls or texts from the other person. They have simply gone M.I.A. and you are left confused and hurt without any sort of real closure.
What the song doesn't tell you is that the breaking up part is actually easy in comparison to what happens afterwards. The shattering pain that rips at you night and day, at unexpected times, leaving you feeling helpless and without control. You are left feeling as if your entire world has ended without warning. Your mind and body become filled with only questions. Can I piece myself back together? When will the pain end? How do I breath? What did I do wrong? Can I fix it? The questions are relentless, on an unending loop in your mind, asking over and over again until you are just completely exhausted from it all. Unfortunately, many of the questions will never be answered.
