Loving and being loved is one of the most wonderful feelings that you can have – it makes you enter into a state of well being and fills your heart with such bliss that you never want it to end.

Hence, when you realize that your relationship might be at its fag end and there might be no way you can salvage it, you go through a period of intense pain and suffering – and sometimes what I will described as personal hell out of which it seems hard to come out.

However impossible it may sound to you right now, rest assured that very soon you will get over this pain and you will learn to enjoy your life again – this time without the person you fell in love with.

You see, there are a few stages that any person shall go through after a break up and once you are over these four stages, your life with gain back its normalcy by and by.

Stage One: The shock

You had thought that everything was going perfectly in your relationship and you two were happy together. This is why the announcement of the break up from out of the blue shall come as a rude shock to you – a tsunami of turbulent pain. You had never expected this to happen and as such, this feeling of shock is a normal part of the healing process.

Stage Two: The Denial

After the initial shock comes the denial. Even though your partner was clear about his/her intention of breaking up, you refuse to let yourself believe that this is really happening to you.

You still believe that your partner shall change his/her mind and tell you that the break up was a mistake. However, this is not something that is going to happen and you need to accept that your relationship is really over – no matter how much this knowledge hurts you.

If you do not accept and keep denying the break up you shall never be able to bring your life back on track.

Stage Three: The depression

Once you have begun to accept the inevitability of the break up, you will see the depression kicking into your life. After all, who would not be depressed at the end of something so wonderful?

However, you should not allow your depression to eat you away. Cry a few tears, make an idiot out of yourself if you may – spend a sleepless night or two – but after that, move on!

Stage Four: The Acceptance

Yes, that is right, you are ultimately going to accept your situation and allow yourself to move on. You shall not be wallowing in your sadness forever.

Eventually, you will realize that the wonderful relationship that you had is over and you shall have the power in you to count your blessings and move on in life. With this I trust that you’re able to take the best memories of the relationship and probably even be ready to being dating all over again.

    You have to make a determination that you will no longer allow this situation to hold you down. Life must go on. I recently experienced a break up and cried my eyes out especially when I was alone for any long period of time. I had to change my outlook on life and get a holdl of myself. Now I am over it (him). Life goes on!

    Reesa that is actually positive thinking. One definitely need to look forward to a brighter future. Naturally, those periods can be extremely painful and spins off in your mind like a reel of film from a never ending story, but determination is Key. You’ve got to take control and move on. Easier said than done. You’re the ONLY one that can determine: ‘Where do I go from here?’ The best to you and all success. Cheers Nic…
