Letting Go of Someone You Loved

Letting go of someone you once loved and spent a lot of time together isn’t easy and it’s totally natural to think of them often, even multiple times throughout the day, especially in the first few weeks or months of leaving them.

Depending on how emotionally attached you are, it can often take a few months to a year to stop thinking about them frequently. 

The first couple of months, you might think of them all day every day, but as time goes on and life moves on, the thoughts will progressively get less. From multiple times a day to a few times a week, then a few times a month, and then once every now and then.

It’s super important that you find closure. If you haven’t found closure, the thoughts and feelings will linger on for way too long, and you’ll have a hard time moving on in life.

So find a way to find some sort of closure. Here are a few ways to find closure:
