I think alot of time, especially women, mourn, after a break up the loss of "love" not necessairally the loss of the individual.

Upon a recent breakup imposed by me, I am sad, but in retrospect, I am really sad about the loss of "love" which was false and not really there anyway, and not the individual.

I know alot really grieve over the loss of the love of, for an individual, but in my Pisces case, I am always mourning "love" and not the individual.

Early morning ponderings....

I feel you. I do that, too. So, even though it may be much more common with women, some men also react that way.

i see the end of relationship as a sort of death. you go through the stages of grieving similar to losing a loved one except they still walk the earth. I think it is completely healthy to do this when ending a relationship because it helps to give you the opportunity to heal if need be.

Love makes my world go 'round, and when it's lost or ended, I tend to do this as well.

Depending on the depth of the relationship (time holds no bounds on depth) it can leave me feeling anywhere from a pinprick of pain to crying on the floor in agony of a broken heart.

Moon in Pisces and I am the same way. I grieve the memories, I grieve the death of love and for what that means.. does that mean that love is always fleeting, transient? Did I choose poorly? Can I trust myself to choose better next time or can I even trust anyone else to always love me?

I just saw this... I've been enmeshed in my own stuff. I'm sorry, dear H.C.

I feel this way right now, grieving for the love and touch of my ex. Sudden ending, no time to process it. Such sadness.

I totally understand where you are coming from. We broke up weeks ago, but I just moved out, and I miss being around him. We were starting to become detached even though we loved each other during our 5 year relationship, but it can be hard sometimes. I obviously am not ready to get into anything serious right away, but I still yearn for love and that connection. My Libra moon makes me in love with love sort of. Lol.

I seem to go through stages of mourning. 1st it's probably the loss of the love, attention, and feelings I got from the person. This lasts a fairly long while for me, and it's pretty consuming. Then, once acceptance finally seeps in, I begin to genuinely miss the person for who they are, things we did together, the positive influence/interaction we had. And I'm not sure how long that lasts, because I'm still going through it over a couple of people. Loss is difficult no matter what you lose or miss. It can be shocking.
