“No matter how appropriate it is to leave a relationship, the loss of any significant relationship can feel like a death or is a acual death, You have to feel the sadness and grieve fully for what might have been, You can’t skip from, or otherwise hide from the pain if you’re to emerge at the next stage free to develop.”
Dr. Christiane Northrup,, author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause.
