Dealing With The Loss of a Relationship

John explains the stages and reactions to dealing with the loss of a relationship. Many have residual beliefs, emotions and resentments that can make finding and forming a new relationship difficult, but understanding these reactions to past experiences can help you move through or circumvent them. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The reaction to the loss of a relationship can easily be as serious as a bereavement. The seven stages of grief can still fully apply.
• If you are willing to examine what happened with the loss of the relationship and look at how you can move forwards you can survive and even thrive. 
• Once past the stages of grief, you reach acceptance. You can see the relationship more objectively and with an open mind and examine the circumstances that caused its failure and learn valuable lessons.
• Do not self-blame but knowing where you were responsible can help you be more forgiving and help you understand the role you play in your next relationship. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Some may have coping mechanisms in place that mean they just shut down and move on either with someone else or just by shutting everything away.’

‘There is evidence that forgiveness may not only allow you to let go of a lot of the pain that you may be experiencing but is helpful for your own peace of mind.’

‘You allow all that has passed to be in the past and set your sights on a new future.’

‘With my coach, that was the first question they asked me when I separated from my ex-wife; ‘What was your role in why this relationship didn’t work?’’
