When Losing a Friend Hurts in Ways Love Never Could
When two friends break up, it doesn’t feel like a regular heartbreak, it feels soul-crushing.
Losing a friendship of 10–15 years means losing safety, memories, and a part of yourself.
We talk about the pain of friendship breakups, family emotional wounds, emotional unavailability, and how our first experiences of love shape the way we attach and detach.
Sometimes breakups don’t happen because of hate, they happen because of different thinking, emotional immaturity, and timing.
Family breakups hurt deeply because family is our foundation of security.
Real healing begins when we reach acceptance, I understand you, and I also understand myself.
Not every breakup is romantic.
Some breakups are silent, foundational and life-shaping.
