Breakup Survival - Be Grateful

In the aftermath of a breakup, sometimes the only choice available is to say "Thank you" to the Universe. Say what? Yes, that's right - a simple 'thank you' through the tears and  the insufferable heartache, the continual reminders of what was that is no more - the only choice is to be grateful for the experience.

If someone has made his/her choice to move on, it's not because YOU are "imperfect" or YOU are stupid, dumb or any of the other adjectives that you may select to degrade yourself with. It's basically because that person does not envision a lifetime with you, and in HIS/HER mind there really is no further need to (pardon me) burn daylight spending time with each other.

What to do? As mentioned above, say "thank you". You experienced laughter, joy, fun and all kinds of things that brought freedom to your soul. And, what you "miss" is more than likely is that euphoria of feeling like someone cared about you.  No matter how much you are mourning the death of your relationship, you need to be thankful for the time that you shared. Replacing the grief with gratitude really does help you to move on quicker to the next best thing ready and waiting to happen.

Our lives are blessed by each person that touches our hearts. Count your blessings.

# re: Breakup Survival - Be Grateful

this is my first visit to your blog. your words about the best way to handle a breakup hit me just right. unexpectedly, this past year i found myself thinking about someone who  moved on many many years ago. i think that i never got over feeling that i wasn't good enough for him. your words have already enabled me to appreciate his having come into my life at a time when it helped me very much for a couple of years. and i also see that he needed to go on to a different type in order to fulfill his needs. thank you so much.

Thank you, Elinor. I am truly happy that you were able to gain some insight from this blog. I know it's hard because we've all had that "special someone" that ripped our hearts out and threw it under a Mack truck; but hey - we survive...and through it we thrive.

Angels to you!
Jane
