and im still heartbroken. I think of them everyday. this grief is unbearable. everyone seems to be over my sadness and expected me to be okay but I’m so shattered. NC is unbearable but contact isn’t healthy.

honestly the part where you said “NC is unbearable but contact isn’t healthy” is EXACTLY the trap i stayed stuck in.
you’re grieving the actual relationship, or the version of them you hoped would come back someday?
6 months sounded like “enough time” to everybody around me too, meanwhile i was still crying in grocery store parking lots over someone who left a year earlier. people get uncomfortable with grief that lasts longer than they expected
