Reclaiming yourself

[lbstanley70]

The hardest part about the end of a relationship is it really is the death of something. Something you cared so much about is now dead and you can think back and reflect nostalgically on the good times, but those times are over and nothing will ever bring them back. What is left then is a void, a void in your heart and in your soul and the hardest part is filling those spaces. I hate having to do this again...

With every ending, there is a new beginning. There is that too, and perhaps that is some measure of hope.

Remember, too, that nostalgia usually sugarcoats over the negative with the positive. Try to be objective.

Yep, agree 100% with IgnoredOne. Nail meet head.

This seems to be my theme today. You just deal with it, somehow, someway, you deal with it, get over it and move on. It may take time but it seems like you've been there before since you said "again". Bad things happen, it's inevitable, it's how you let them affect you. You either let it constantly beat you down or you pick yourself back up and continue on, dealing with it day by day until you can overcome it.

Are you sure that this void didn't already exist that this person filled for you, for a little while? You can be a complete person without her.

Kat,you raise an interesting question. I did have a void in my life before I met this person, but I had built a wall around this void, thinking it would never ever be filled. Somehow she snuck in and filled it and crazy enough carved out a bigger hole in my heart. I like your question and my wheels are turning. Thank you for the input.
