Closure Quotes

34. “Desperate to feel better, your body, heart, and mind fixate on being close to your now ex because being with them felt wonderful and being away from them feels terrible. As you unsuccessfully attempt to reconnect, you begin to experience obsessive thinking, cravings, emotional distress, and a desire to act in harmful ways.

A more honest response to your breakup may be something like I’m very sad that my ex and I broke up. I wish we were still together. But we’re not, so I’m going to make choices that reflect that reality.” – Cortney Soderlind Warren, PhD

If you find yourself stuck in denial, there are a few things you can do to try to get past it. It is important to recognize when it gets out of control and takes over your life. You might keep waiting for your ex to come back or holding onto hope that the relationship can be repaired. But if the relationship is over, you need to let go and move on.” – Victoria Onica

41. “Learning to let go and get over what has just happened to you will take time. In its own way a marriage breakup feels like a bereavement.

However, as time passes you will realise that better times are ahead and that one day you will feel much better.” – Danielle Barbereau

47. “Accepting that we bear some responsibility for the messy aftershocks of a failed relationship makes it easier to let go of past pain because we remember that we’re all human. And, consequently, we’re all flawed. We all have baggage. Every one of us is fighting an internal battle over some painful past experiences that the outside world can’t necessarily see or understand. This includes your ex, your parents, your friends, and even your enemies. As we clumsily try to figure ourselves out and grapple with our wounds, we affect each other. Sometimes we really hurt each other” – Cortney Soderlind Warren, PhD

48. “If you want to move on, then you need to let go. And the only way to do that is to have no contact with your ex whatsoever. This can be difficult, especially if you have to see them on a regular basis. But it is important to remember that no contact is for your own good.” – Victoria Onica

49. “Forgiveness is not about excusing their behavior; it’s about acknowledging that you can let go of the pain you’re experiencing if you actively choose to.” – Cortney Soderlind Warren, PhD

50. “Not being given an explanation is certainly not unusual but it is infinitely cruel. Not only does it show a complete disregard for your feelings but also annihilates the value of the years you spent together. You are left wondering why. You blame yourself. This adds to the feeling of powerlessness, because you have no closure, let alone the opportunity to do anything to repair the relationship. After many years together, you feel you certainly deserve the respect of being given an explanation, but in many cases this will never happen.” – Danielle Barbereau

51. “As you grieve and come to accept that your relationship is over, you can let go of past pain by taking responsibility for your role, apologizing to those you’ve hurt along the way, and actively choosing to forgive.

You can’t avoid pain and loss in life; they’re an inevitable part of the journey. Instead, the goal is to learn from every experience and make choices that reflect better versions of ourselves along the way.” – Cortney Soderlind Warren, PhD

52. “As you let go of the pain of the past through forgiveness and by making amends, you can make value-based choices that will lead you to the next great chapter of your life.” – Cortney Soderlind Warren, PhD
