Why Does a Breakup Feel Like a Death?

When a relationship ends, people often say "just move on." But your body doesn't know the difference between a breakup and a death. It remembers. It longs. And if you're still seeing them on social media, watching them live their life without you, the wound keeps reopening.

In this video, Julia explains why separation and divorce carry all the emotional weight of grief, why cutting contact for the first two years matters, and why we simply cannot do this alone.

Session 12: Love and Support in the Grief Works Programme helps you build the connection you need to get through this. And Session 11: Exploring Your Relationship gives you space to look honestly at what was, so you can stop replaying only the good parts.
