Going through the pain of a breakup
A breakup can be one of the most painful things to face. A breakup that is mutual is different than a heartbreak. Your partner decides to end the relationship and wants to move on with life. The reasons for a breakup could be plenty, and many times, a breakup comes at the moment when you least expect it. It is extremely painful to hear your partner say that they don't love you anymore and want freedom from the relationship. This could be shattering and heart-stabbing. You might even feel the ground slip beneath you, especially when your partner wants to leave you for another. Even if you have been feeling something amiss in your relationship, the final moment of the breakup could be worse than you can ever imagine. Love does this to you. Your beloved becomes your entire world and your reason to live. A breakup brings along with it the pain of rejection, a bruised ego and a horrible feeling of worthlessness. The initial pain and disbelief may further give way to anger. This could be a terrible state of mind to stay in. Written below are some motivational quotes for someone who is going through the pain of a breakup. A breakup doesn't end your world. What you have got to understand is that something that is not meant for you, will never stay with you. And something that was always yours will come back to you eventually. Agreed, this is easier said than done and a person who goes through it only knows the agony of it, but a breakup is something that many of us have gone through. While everyone's pain and reasons might be different, one thing is the same for everyone and that is that time heals every pain. It is just a matter of time, that you will feel normal once again. And while you are going through it, refer to some 40 amazing quotes written below by people who have been there and moved on gracefully with their lives.
