A breakup with someone we love is never painless, even being the one breaking up with the other can feel hard. 

There are ways we can stay focused on our healing through these emotional storms even when it feels hopeless. There are ways we can support ourselves so that the pain doesn't torture us. If we take the role as observers, we can cultivate self compassion, self care and we can lead ourselves through the worst of times, so we can manage our daily life somewhat normal still - without feeling overwhelmingly drained by our lurking thoughts and emotions in the back of our mind.
