A breakup of this magnitude is akin to the grief of losing a spouse. That’s not a hot take to share with friends but it is one to share with yourself in terms of the level of empathy and grace you give yourself. This shit is hard and that’s ok. There would be something wrong with you if it wasn’t hard.

As for what you can do, build the future. That’s the way through this. Space for grief and then space for healing. This just happened. You’re not ready to build anything new yet. You’ll know when you are.

Focus right now should be getting through it and self care for you and parenting for your son. Do not skip self care right now. You need it more than ever and so does your child. You got this. ❤️

It’s great to have gratitude. But the fact that you’re posting this means there’s something missing. Purpose is everything. To some people that’s being a parent. To others that’s volunteering. To others that’s building a business.

Doing something to help society will be one of the most meaningful things you can do. What that looks like looks different to everyone but go find yours. If you don’t know where to start try volunteering at a soup kitchen or mentoring someone junior.
