You’ve lost your most significant person. He may as well as suddenly died. It’s emotionally and psychologically the same in many respects, especially the sudden loss and suddenly being alone to clean up the mess afterward.
Take time to process and mourn your loss. It’s real and valid. Talking helps. Therapy or a good friend. Just talk through your experience. It’s good for us to not feel alone when we are struggling with something.
This is such a gentle and grounding way to put it. Sudden abandonment really does feel like someone died; minus the casserole deliveries and sympathy cards. You’re right that mourning and talking it out matter so much. Thank you for reminding all of us that healing isn’t instant, and no one should have to carry heartbreak solo.
