How to Make Peace with Letting Go of Someone Who Left You

Are you trying to make peace with letting go of someone who left you?

Have you been working through the end of the relationship but are having a hard time accepting that it is over and moving on?

You are not alone.

The end a relationship is like a death and learning to accept it can be beyond difficult. All of the hopes and dreams we had for the future have been dashed — how do we recover from that?

Fortunately, there are things that you can do to help you make peace with letting go of someone who left you and move on to a life full of happiness and love.

#1 — Mourn.

For many of us, when we are struggling with pain, we tell ourselves to suck it up. Appearing to be sad about the end of the relationship makes us look weak and we don’t want that.

Our friends tell us to move on — that our person wasn’t worthy of us and that we will find someone who will love us some day. So, just move on. You are better off.

I am here to tell you that this attitude, while understandable, isn’t going to help you make peace with letting go of someone who left you. It is important that, to process what has happened, you feel the pain.
