Give yourself time to grieve

Breaking up brings a lot of feelings, so don’t be scared of them. Let your feelings flow, even if it it is sadness, fear or anger.
“It's important to understand that breaking up can bring a kind of immediate grief that can overwhelm you. You need to accept your feelings and create time to grieve. There's no way to circumvent these feelings," Prathikanti says.
"There's a certain time we all need to process grief. For some people it's shorter; for others, it's longer. You'll know the grieving period is over when you're able to look outward more easily instead of being preoccupied with your own thoughts."
