Free Yourself

You can’t love again until you heal the pain that your lost love inflicted. Grieve, and as you do, you will become more emotionally healthy.

Consider a Therapist

Therapy saves and changes lives, period. If you are having a particularly hard time with the grieving process, a good therapist can guide you through. Feel free to contact me for therapist referrals anytime.

Be Proactive in Your Happiness

Get out. Go out. Go to all the places you personally enjoy. Don’t obsess that “singles” are not there, this step is about you.

It is impossible to replace your lost love. Instead, allow new love to grow and blossom in its own way (on its own time).
