This person may have left your life due to life circumstances—they had to move, for example—or by their own decision when they felt the relationship was no longer meant to continue, and this hurts you. Or by your own decision, which doesn't mean it's easier. Often, we like the person, or have some attachment, but we know that person is hurting us, and even with conflicting feelings, we conclude that the best thing to do is cut off contact. Here are some steps that can help: Accept reality: The first step is to accept that the person won't or shouldn't come back. This can be difficult, especially if there are unresolved hopes or feelings, but it's a fundamental step toward letting go. Allow yourself to feel: It's normal to feel a range of emotions, such as sadness, anger, guilt, or frustration, when you're letting go of someone. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. Crying, writing in a journal, or talking to a trusted friend can be helpful ways to express your emotions. Set boundaries: If the person in question is no longer part of your life, it's important to establish clear boundaries to avoid unwanted contact or emotional relapses. This may include blocking phone numbers, removing them from social media, or avoiding places where the person frequents. Reflect on the relationship: Try to understand what the relationship meant to you and what lessons you can learn from it. Focus on yourself: Dedicate time and energy to self-care. This may include exercising, eating healthy, meditating, pursuing hobbies, or any activity that helps you feel good and strengthens your self-esteem. Seek support: Sharing your feelings and concerns with friends, family, or a therapist can be comforting and helpful during the process of letting go. Avoid rumination: Avoid dwelling on obsessive thoughts about the person or the relationship. When these thoughts arise, direct your attention to something you need to do or healthy distractions. Set new goals: This can help redirect your energy and give you a sense of purpose. Forgive and let go: Forgiveness, not necessarily for the person, but for yourself, can be an important step. Recognize that everyone makes mistakes and that you deserve to move forward and find happiness. Give it time: The process of letting go doesn't happen overnight, and there may be ups and downs along the way. Be patient with yourself and allow yourself to go through this process. Letting go doesn't mean you have to completely forget the person. They may have played an important role in your life, and these experiences are part of who you are. Letting go means releasing the need for that person to make you happy. Over time, you may realize that you can live fully, even without that person.
