Breakup like losing late husband all over again
Her husband died from pneumonia after heart bypass surgery.
“My boyfriend and I broke up. We’re still friends. We’re still on speaking terms. But that wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t want to leave the relationship.
“It’s kind of like losing my late husband all over again. Because of the you-don’t-see-it-coming thing, it kind of bowls you over. You’re like, wait a minute, what just happened? It’s like being in mourning over a six-month relationship almost feels the same as seeing a 19-year marriage come to an end. At least it does for me.”
