This is a hard one. Normally, you should be in the process of moving on, but…what’s normal?

  1. You are in denial, still. There are phases or stages to grieving the loss of a loved one. You are stuck in stage two, where a part of you is denying the loss of this person.

  2. You haven’t been able to accept the loss. Acceptance is moving towards the final stages of the grieving process.

  3. Something is blocking you from realizing and acknowledging the loss of the relationship, and accepting the loss of this person. What is it? He is no longer there. He has clearly moved on with his life.

  4. Do you have any idea how much damage you are doing to your body? Broken heart syndrome is real. Stress and depression shrink areas of the brain associated with memories and emotions. Why are you punishing yourself like this?

So why are you still hanging on? And what are you hanging on to? What do you stand to gain by attempting to hang on to air — your own thoughts — and to a nonexistent situation?

What inside of you is refusing to allow yourself to rest easy, and know that this is over and you will find someone else where the love and attraction is mutual and equal in strength?

This is important to answer because you are punishing and torturing yourself by not accepting this is over, and moving on with your life. Every time you yearn for something that is gone, something that you know is impossible to achieve, or for something you know you can’t have, you are damaging your energy — mental and physical.



One year is a long time to spend crying over what looks like split milk. Use this energy on yourself, and try to understand why you just can’t let go and move on. This seems like some level of insecurity on your side, and more an issue of lacking the confidence in yourself to move on, than an actual desire to win back the affection of a long gone lover. Work on yourself — and invest your time in personal growth. It will be the best investment you will make.


If you are looking for additional support, research the stages of a breakup. If you can’t do it alone, get assistance from family, friends, or a professional therapist.
