    Coping With Grief After Losing a Marriage, Engagement, or Dating Relationship

    November 1, 2023

    Have you recently gone through a divorce, a broken engagement, or a breakup? The loss of a romantic relationship can be especially difficult because we spend so much time with our significant others, so a separation can impact many aspects of our lives and leave us feeling like our world has been turned upside down. Not only do we have to cope with missing them, but we also have to deal with the hassles of splitting up any shared property and possibly finding a new home. Plus, we must accept that the dreams we had of a future with that person are no longer a possibility.

    Fortunately, there are steps you can take to process your grief and move on from your relationship. For instance, you may want to try:

    • Spending time with family and friends
    • Talking to a therapist
    • Making time for self-care each day
    • Incorporating exercise into your daily routine
    • Starting a new hobby

    As difficult as it may seem, try to look at your breakup as an opportunity to rediscover yourself and the things that make you who you are. For example, if you’ve always loved baking but you didn’t get to bake as often as you wanted during your relationship, try purchasing a new cookbook or signing up for a local cake decorating class.

    Do You Need Help Healing From Loss?

    If you’re having a hard time coping with the loss of a marriage, engagement, or dating relationship, one of the best ways to process your grief is to speak to a therapist. Contact me today and I can tell you more about my practice, answer any questions you might have, and schedule a therapy session.
