Hi April,
I’m Mariz 42 and I just ended a long-term relationship. This is hard for me, even though I know my decision is right. I keep thinking about him all the time. I catch myself replaying memories, wondering what went wrong, and sometimes I feel like I’ll never really move on.
I want to focus on my children and finding myself again first, but I don’t even know where to start. I’ve tried keeping busy, talking to friends, journaling but the feelings just stick around. How do you actually get over someone you really cared about without feeling stuck or bitter? Are there ways to move forward while still honoring what the relationship meant?
