Hi there,
Some of the worst emotional pain can come from a situationship — an undefined, intense relationship — ending. It’s a complicated kind of grief — and one that can reveal deeper wounds within us. Intense, short-lived relationships can leave us utterly devastated — just as much or sometimes, even more so than the ending of a marriage or a long partnership.
I want to talk today about the specific type of heartbreak that comes from ending a situationship, or any short term and very intense connection. And, of course, I want to dive into the deep healing we need to do to move on.
