Not to beat a dead horse, but a break up is like suffering a death of sorts. Life as we know it comes to an end and we have to start over. We usually have to deal with a move (unless you got to keep the home - although that brings with it all the old memories, so not too fun there). We have to divide all the possessions, which is bad enough, but we also end up divvying up the friends and old haunts as well. For example, I've given my ex custody of the Olympic Village (so I don't have to run into him and the girl who unknowingly drank my just purchased cider!). Everything we've been doing is out the window and we have to re-make our lives. Now, out with the old and in with the new has it's advantages. We can buy new things and enjoy new scenery. It's not all bad, Lol;) Actually, it can be a real breath of fresh air, once we've gotten over the shocking transitionary period of movers/unexpected costs/a future of unknowns.... however, an unexpected break up still deals us a death of the life we thought we would be living, of friends we came to love and consider family, of all the daily rituals, of cherished excursions etc... but as so many wise people say, we have to be prepared for cycles in life; daylight and darkness, life and death, low tide and high tide, happiness and sadness, joy and sorrow, spring growth and winter hibernation. We do have to expect and manage these cycles as best we can... personally speaking, it makes me feel better remembering we're all in it together and so much of what we deal with in life is universal. It's all a part of being human on this planet. We're stronger than we think, especially when we have each others' back. Just sayin' :) Hugs.
