I love different aspects of this. That a relationship that ended doesn’t have to have a single story!

Thanks for sharing!

I'm currently mourning the loss of a relationship that meant so much to me and that I thought would last forever. It was not a romantic relationship. It was a beautiful friendship that I treasured deeply and nurtured very carefully.

I've had questions on my mind that I hadn't found answers to but in the moments when I'm not berating myself for being so vulnerable, so gullible, so trusting, allowing so much verbal and emotional abuse, I know that beyond the natural grief that I feel is a deep, undeniable peace that confirms to me that I did the right thing by walking away.

This post has spoken to me in ways that do not only bring meaning to the chaos of my feelings, memories and thoughts about the relationship, but also, articulates the why, how and what that I needed to process this experience and move forward gracefully.

Thank you!
