It was 25 days without contact, extremely painful. I hope that the pain will subside.

25 days of silence and heartache: will the pain ever end?

was there something specific that made these last 25 days hit especially hard, or is it just the silence itself that’s crushing you?
day 25 was around when it started really hitting me too. staring at my phone feeling actual physical pain from missing someone who wasn’t even reaching out anymore. it does soften eventually, even if right now it feels endless
you are so brave. I can relate. I've got over 40 days. it's scary at first not knowing what to do. I had to make up my my mind if I wanted a short time of pain or having him and having a life time of pain, no trust, wondering if it would happen again. more pain. no I've made up my mind and when I did thing got better. I'm done, I'm moving on. you can do this. it's not your fault and when you understand you deserve better you will be on your way to a peaceful life. Friend
you have done so well making it this far. Have faith that the pain will subside, because it will. One day you will realise "oh the pain doesn't feel as bad as yesterday" eventually the pain wont be all consuming. It will still come in waves, but it will be more manageable
I don't know, but for three days I cried intensely for his sake.
@ZimZam747 let yourself cry whenever it comes up. The pain is proof you loved him deeply. Allow the sadness to move through you. Don't wish it away, dont overthink it or try to process it. Just feel it and sit with it no matter how painful. This is healing
@DreamyWay697 I was with him for 8 years and we never separated
@ZimZam747 it will take time. I know you want relief from this pain, but you just have to keep moving through each day.
