Thanks for this.
My issue is very minor compared to what many are dealing with and I hope you find strength. Stampede is a difficult week because every year it brings back memories of a failed relationship with someone I really cared for and continue to think about often. We stayed in touch a little after our break-up, she would reach out every few months and we would catch up by phone. We would not see each other however. I last talked to her a year ago.
It’s been 10 years now and we have both moved on but letting go of her has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with. We still have friends in common so of course it’s inevitable that her name comes up.
I have had other break ups of course but this is the only one that still hurts.
I’ve done lots of reading on how best to forget an ex, particularly someone who meant so much, but for me time has not healed the wounds. I still think about her and miss her. Wondering if others are going through the same thing.
Edit: the wars in Israel and Ukraine have also taken a huge toll on my mental health. The suffering on all sides is unbearable to watch.
