The 5 Stages of Grief After a Breakup

[@kayladuque3101]

Just went thru a breakup 2 months ago after my bf decided to discern seminary and is now applying. Its been the hardest time of my life but man was this video timely! God really has me in the palm of His hand❤️

[@janettorres3388]

May God comfort you! And as much as loosing that person hurts, keep praying for them, they’re seeking Gods will.

[@lavenderlatte96]

Kayla I will pray for you as I am in the exact same position as you right now, so I know the exact hurt you are feeling. God will show us a way, I know it, but I know comforting words don't always feel true when we are lost in our grief. But I do know there is hope in our vocations as well! God will not forget us I promise!!!

[@WilliamSmith-xm1rf]

Got broken up with by my high school sweetheart yesterday after 3 years. I’m totally heartbroken please pray for me that the lord will give me the comfort I need and help me understand his will for me

[@daenithriuszanathos9306]

My fiancée broke up with me on January 2021. I was absolutely devastated. I went to weekly therapy for over a year, just processing everything. I did what I shouldn't have and stalked her a bit on social media and she had someone new just a few months later. (My therapist and friends think that she likely had someone lined up when she broke up with me based on the things she said.) Meanwhile, I kept grieving, blaming myself for not doing this or that, and hoping she would realise her mistake and reach out to get back together. More stalking and I found out her new relationship had ended and she declared she would be properly single this time around. One month later, she's with a new guy (January 2022). I was devastated yet again and I decided to block her. I oscillated between depression, bargaining, and anger (at myself). Then, I broke in October 2022 and tried to unblock her only to find that she had changed her last name and she had a wedding dress on her profile pic. That sent me into a spiral that I'm only now getting out of. In all this time, I've processed the grief and the failed relationship in every conceivable angle. This experience has given me opportunities to be more selfless in my love as well as to grow in trust in God. One thing that I've been holding on to is the thought that if my son/daughter deeply desired something in their very core, then I would do everything I can to get them that. Why would God do anything less? So, even though I find it hard to see how He's working in my life, I'm trusting Him that He's working on fulfilling this deep desire in me to have that special person to spend the rest of my life with; someone with whom I can grow in holiness and raise a family of saints. The Lord knows and sees our pain. He loves us too much to just sit idly by and watch. He's working, often behind the scenes, but He's working. Trust that He's not so cruel as to let you experience such deep and wonderful love only for you to never experience it (or something better) ever again. I'm praying for all of you who are going through a break-up. Please pray for me.

[@aliciafernandes7456]

I'm currently still working through this five stage process and like Bobby said... Sometimes I'm on 3 then 5 then back to 3. Its a process that cant be rushed but I trust God. Praying for you.

[@Dr_Analise]

Oh honey!!! Yea will definitely pray for you!

[@pootprancia1956]

I can feel you!! It's been a year and she's still been in my mind. I'll pray for you.

[@brunowg331]

I am really sorry about the pain this caused. I will pray for you as you pray for me. I get that. The less focus on self and more on God and Christ is a good thing. Let us prat that we put down our yokes and be ready to carry the cross of Christ.

[@gavroche8620]

She is probably a narc, switching boys like gloves it’s a red flag, wait for divorce, sorry but you must forget about her! There is plenty of good women out there! Stop stalking her!

[@dylanrunner2001]

I had a really hard breakup 5 years ago back in high school. I learned that the more you invest yourself emotionally in a dating relationship, the more painful the breakup will be because there’s no guarantee that your girlfriend/boyfriend will be with you forever (even though we like to tell ourselves that they will be)

[@dan-ch8kr]

this is making me emotional LOL i just relate sm rn

[@tanonymous2557]

Yup. You can have a family with them, be married, they can just change their minds. Flip a switch. Be done with you. On to “something better” in their eyes.

[@mariemunzar6474]

That's very true, but there is a beauty in giving that much emotion to someone. You do have to give that at some point if you will love the person enough to marry them.

[@BoboDetector]

I invested all my feelings and love to her even we're not yet bf/gf. I'm still moving on, last day I've seen her post about her new suitor and that triggered my anger to the point that I was forced by myself to message her about that and unfortunately I have said bad things to her that made me toxic.

[@dylanrunner2001]

@@mariemunzar6474 I agree, there's a proper time for that

[@Shanshu72]

Broke up with my now ex-girlfriend a week ago. The truth is, she no longer had feelings and I fought to keep it afloat but it was not the wise decision. Afterwards, I realized how selfish I was while in a relationship and did not protect her. A piece of me is sad that it is over, but a bigger piece is sad because of how I treated her.

[@FLOOPIEOS]

[@isabeldillon-v7w]

God's strength is endless and bountiful. May the Holy Spirit lift you up in ways you never knew it could. Praying for you.

[@dawnlapka3782]

I am trying to decide if I am grieving or not. I'm just numb. Mostly because there was no breakup in the relationship between me and the guy. I'm just in an acceptance of the fact that he's not here. He might come back. He might not. But it's OK. God's plan is more important than my own. He probably has someone better in mind for me. I still know that I am meant to be married. It will happen when it happens. One of the last things you said: even when you finally meet that right person and you finally get married, the other person can't fulfill your deepest desires. God alone is enough. I appreciate this video.

[@ang6000]

I just had a breakup because my boyfriend was Muslim and I am a Catholic. He was wonderful and it truly feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest.

[@TheSbastard]

I am Catholic too and I broke up with a girl from a Muslim family 3 months ago. She was kind and beautiful and I know how you feel, it will get better.

[@mariemunzar6474]

You made the right decision. I don't know how long you were together for but if he wasn't interested in becoming Catholic too it probably wouldn't have ended well due to the religious differences. A lot of these Muslim men will also be wanting you to be a muslim. If you broke up over this that's actually a good thing as it shows how much you value our catholic faith. It's not always a good thing to be with someone who fundamentally disagrees with you on deep religious issues. Muslims don't believe in Christ's salvation the way we do. Even if the boyfriend was wonderful there are sometimes some things we can't move past which can be dealbreakers and that's ok. We must put God over people in any case. You will feel peace in time.

[@panama2468]

​@@mariemunzar6474 it's kind of odd how you automatically assume that it is the boyfriend that needs to convert to Catholicism and crossover the idea that she needs to convert to islam. The fact of the matter is that there's no salvation through a man. Muslims believe in god, and believe that Jesus was a messenger of god,

[@glaycesilva5838]

I broke up recently with my love, because iam catholic and he is muslin. He never accept me the way iam and my believes. It’s so painful. 10 years together.

[@drivertadyuma]

Islam is radically different from Catholicism. It's in their core beliefs to force to convert anyone from a different faith or non believers. And if not you instantly become a infidel. I believe our Lord let your breakup happen in order to keep following Him.

[@seans.131]

I've found that when relationships end, they are meant to end. 10:25 👋😂

[@DarthVeach]

We were together 8 years then broke up and stayed apart for 3. We kept in touch during the breakup and stayed civil, but never spoke about our personal lives. We never figured we would get back together, so what she did was her business and I didn't want to know about it. Then finally she messaged about seeing me and we started up again. Everything seemed different in a good way. She was more open and relaxed, it felt like we moved on from so many of our past problems. Then about a year in, the old "her" started creeping back in. Hiding her phone, being cryptic about who she was spending time with. Lots of excuses for not wanting to spend time with me. About another 6 months go by, and she dumps me again thru a Facebook message. She could never do the hard stuff face to face. And she is with someone new already. I doubt she will ever come back again, but if she does I have to be ready to say absolutely not. I love her but don't want to go thru losing her ever again. This is awful

[@lizmonard]

I have borderline personality disorder, and let me tell you, a breakup is a whole different ballgame for some of us. We will do ANYTHING not to have to get to that stage. My advice to anyone with a personality disorder like bpd, or bipolar, don’t even try to do it alone, you need medical/ psychiatric help. Consequences can be stalking, violence, and suicide. It’s on a whole new level.

[@sandrocosta479]

I have bpd too. 12 years together and she dump me 5 months ago. I'm a total mess still. I still love her so much.

[@sandranyakudya6867]

I am so grateful I came across this video. My heart has been so heavy following a break just last week with a wonderful man I was with for 1 year. I cannot fault him for anything, he is Catholic, his soul is as pure and genuine as they come and we truly cared for each other, still do. But we just weren’t on the same page about life and what we want in the near future. Truth is I felt it from the moment we started dating but he was just such a beautiful person I wanted to try and make it work and I was afraid I wouldn’t find anyone like him. This video reminded me God knows my heart and soul, and will bless me with right person at the right time as long as I put all my faith and trust in Him.

[@Tooblessedtobestressed88]

I clicked on this for a reason. I’m so depressed I needed answers on why I’m dealing with such anger and sadness after the breakup and I’m glad this was the video I got because I’ve been trying to grow my belief in god. Thank you

[@nickb8618]

Anger and sadness I believe are the same emotional the just manifests externally in different ways. All anger stems from sadness and disappointment. At the very least they are two sides of the same coin.

Just broke up with someone cause this guy lied a lot. One thing he told me that was so sad was he could see himself doing life stuff with me, but I don't turn him on. He said he wants to stay friends, but I don't know. It started when strictness with sexual stuff started and not even making out. He is Catholic too and completely fooled me. I'm still broke. This helped so much thank you.

Wow, a week after my break up & this video appears - God is good! ☝️

[@24flute37]

I’m a junior in high school. My boyfriend broke up with me six months ago after dating for a few years. I’ve avoided him and haven’t tex yet d him this whole time. And then I saw him at Mass and he and his mom sat in the same pew as me and my mom. It brought back so many painful thoughts and memories. I still love him so much but I don’t know what to do with it. Thank you for this video.

[@Chelsea.Cristina]

I would just talk to him and if that's too hard write him a letter. I'm recently going through a breakup, and I have found that it sparks conversations that should've happened. We have gotten a better sense at where we failed each other. You don't truly know what he feels or thinks unless you talk to him.

[@christiandpaul631]

WHATEVER YOU DO don't leave someone at the altar. I know someone that happened to and she never got over it.

[@carolsanders4252]

I think a break up can be hard for the family too. One of my kids was engaged to an amazing person and I had a harder time accepting the break up than they did. It led me to do some unhealthy things like wanting to know why and wanting them to get back together because our famiky was losing this wonderful person and I saw their future together. We always had wonderful times together and our families became close and shared holidays and special occasions together. A break up affects the families, friendships and we as family can go through those stages too. And when your child finds someone new it's hard not to compare, or to accept them, or to be afraid to get close to them because of the pain of losing them if there is a break up. I try to leave it in God's hands and know He loves my kids even more than I do.

[@Low.Key.Music01]

I was cheated on by three different girls. It took me four years to start dating after the third one because I felt worthless. I found that it's a lot simpler to stay single and maintain my dignity

[@OnlinevF]

I just spent 7 months in the most emotionally advance relationship talking about the future and meeting all their family and they met mine. We spoke about everything we have both been dealt with. Ive never connected with someone more in my life then one day she just left with no explaintion she just said something happened.

[@kathleenorourke7330]

Thank you for this. There is great stuff here. It is frustrating when Bobby gets interrupted, however - especially when he doesn't get to return to his point!

[@adamc7987]

As someone who has not experienced a breakup, but instead has suffered unrequited love, this video really spoke to me. I spent four months leading myself on thinking that I had a chance with a rarity; a devout young Catholic woman, outside of the convent, in a time where most people my age have apparently left the Church. It took me six months to get over it. The reason why it took so long was because shortly after I was rejected, she got engaged. And I had to see them together at Mass every Sunday.

[@KeiPyn24]

She went with the simp who had money.

[@jasonweber225]

Thank you guys! Its really hard but I needed to hear this. I was sure she was the one it didn't work out for us. It is true how the devil likes to whisper in your ear. I just need a reminder from time to time that there is something better for me. I pray to God everyday to take total control and guide me where he wants me to go. I do think about her all the time still and I want to contact her so bad. It is slowly getting better. I love myself more and I am definitely getting closer to God. Stay strong my friends.

I was the breaking up with the space but wanted so bad for him to step up. I didn’t want to but didn’t know what else to do to his wild behavior. I was vvv angry with myself for doing it instead of working it out.

[@TheFinalFifty]

I had a really hard break up last year (2021), and she was my best friend. Thing is, I don't even know why she left me. I've been in the depression and bargaining stage for a year. I hope she changes and finds the church again.

[@phoebea]

Offer up that feeling of not knowing the reason for the break-up and feeling out of control of the situation to the Lord. I'm the type who always wants to know why something happens, but in reality, unexplainable things happen all the time. Both unexplainable good things (miracles) and unexplainable bad things (suffering/tragedies) happen in the world everyday. When facing the unfathomable or the unreasonable, I rely on the things that I know are true (i.e. God loves me and has a plan for my life) and the things that are within my control (ex. a hobby, activity, or social/volunteer event I can attend to.) Grieving and healing can be a long process, so be kind and patient with yourself. There's no rush! Find an activity that you like to do (like a sport or building things) while allowing God to heal you (ex. try going to daily mass or adoration if you can.) If/when your ex randomly comes to mind, say a short prayer for her and then move on to do the things that you need to attend to; try not to dwell on thoughts of her. Soon, you'll realize she's not in your head as much. Healing in my experience is a "fake it till you make it" deal. We just have to keep our head up and do our best in life: meet new friends, work with the poor, evangelize, do our best at school/work, etc. Whenever we reach out to others and make meaningful connections outside of ourselves, we can find healing for our hearts and souls. Good friends and conversations feeds the soul. The wisdom of an elderly person or mentor is priceless. Seek out others and know that there's a beautiful woman you're supposed to meet out there and you'll meet her in God's perfect time, or, there's an amazing adventure God is calling you to have.

[@mariemunzar6474]

I've been in the same boat before. After months of grieving over it I realized that the reason was that he just didn't love me.

23 year marriage for me. I think I was in the denial stage for the last 15 years hoping he would stop drinking and change. We are separated now. For 5 months. I go through all of the stages sometimes throughout the day. I see a therapist and am on medication and things have gotten better. I pray for him daily. I also thank God for my now serene home. I realize now that I had no business getting into a relationship with him because I met him a year after I had gone through a really bad breakup. I actually tried to break things off at one point but my greed got me. If you do go through a bad breakup take time after. Heal yourself. I still love my husband but he is sick and always has been. I was sick when I met him and that doesn’t make for a good marriage.

Highly recommend anyone going through a break up to seriously start loving Our Lady and be entirely hers because only she will truly make you happy. As Saint Alphonsus Liguori wrote in his book "The Glories of Mary": "O men, of what are you thinking? How can you love earthly, deceitful, and lying creatures, which betray you and cause you to lose your souls, your bodies, Paradise, and God! And why do you not love the most loving, the most amiable, the most faithful Mary, who, after enriched you with consolations and graces in this life, will obtain you from her Divine beloved Son the eternal glory of Paradise?

[@12breacher82]

Thank you for sharing. I’ve had two wives divorce me, not by my choice or actions. I chose spouses poorly. The 2nd loss was the worst, and I’ve been reeling in agony for 4 years. The demons that chase you and prey upon you can seem overwhelming, spiritually breaking, and even life threatening. I’ve experienced it all. Be very careful of the grief and sorrow after a relationship ends, and invest in what was shared in this video and bring it all to Christ. I’ve come to peace with bearing the cross of my pain and bad decisions as an atonement, and it’s pushed my faith past what I thought my limits were. Trusting and loving God more has been the antidote to the poison of sin and evil. Even in being terrified for the other person’s soul, bring it to Jesus, and pray for trust in Him, in accepting God’s will, and living as you are meant to. This video is spiritual gold. Thanks again for the message.

Thank you Jesus! I needed this video so bad.

[@azucena.valentine]

I think breaking up is very painful. Yet, Jesus Christ is the only one that can suffice. I believe this message and I am grateful it is about hope. I pray for my ex and hope he finds someone to help him in his life. I let go of someone I was with for years. It will take time to heal but I am now happier than I been before as a single person. Happiness is not always in a couple as well. Always have hope and love in Christ, no matter if you are with someone or not.

[@marmeemarch7080]

Nobody should date for years and years! Submit yourself to God's will, be in prayer, read the Bible, observe the other spiritual disciplines. If you believe His will is for you to be married, it shouldn't take 5 years in a relationship to discern if this person is the one.

[@davidhill5684]

Being autistic and ADHD adds another whole dimension to the business, as the sense of rejection is debilitating and things generally take a longer time to process. Things like disrespect, abuse, disregard...a host of minor and major hurts take longer to be recognised, by which time a "normie" will be long gone and probably with someone new. Being left alone with all of this is pretty painful!

[@LordOfTheRings897]

I was in a relationship for 3 years in high school. Went through all the stages of grief, including bargaining. But I've been married for almost 8 years to a wonderful man now.

I swear I have lost so many people in a span of 2 years. 4 friends & 2 loved ones. It's so hard to be able to move on. One of them is my best guy friend of 9 years. It got ruined because we decided to take our relationship to the next level. Things turned romantic at first. I was not communicative, he got obsessed eventually. Our relationship was basically a Trainwreck. I regret everything that have happened. I wish we could have stayed friends. It's the good memories that makes me sad about a cerain person I don't talk to anymore, ironically. I have moved on but today I'm feeling especially sad about it.

Ever wonder why she moves on so quickly? New BF and a hair style and clothes? She's been planning it all along. Men, you are the prize. Man up. Don't simp out or settle. Vet her. No cluster Bs, no "I have tons of male friends" no "my parents are alcoholics in recovery and I know psychology better than you." Make God your focus. If She's not on fire for Jesus, give her the boot. Like Bonds: when self increases virtue decreases. Stop buying into women with high bodycounts, born again virgins, and invest in your relationship with God. Virtuous women exist but are few. The rest. Leave em.

Except Kubler-Ross was before death, not after, and was about the dying person himself or herself.

Doesn't really matter - grief is grief, whether for yourself or for the loss of someone you love. All of the steps will apply to most people.

The sad thing is that I will never go through this because I will never get a gf

The Lord knows the deepest longings of our hearts, and fulfills them in His timing, although waiting can be very difficult. Something that helps me is preparing for that moment, or meeting the right person, and this can give hope. :)

I'm grieving at the incorrect spelling of grieving. SMH.

You two are wonderfull people but it's obvious you haven't been hurt in love that much and haven't gone through much suffering.

You must know nothing about our Heavenly Father who fixes and puts us and our spouses back together again. Or maybe you’re speaking about yourself

This gal reminds me of Taylor Swift; only because she is blonde and only talks about dating, relationships and breaking up

[@cozyhomemakingvibes]

❤ Amen.

I see here a video about grief after a breakup but not one about specific grief suffered by a widow or widower! REALLY? Obviously committed "spouses" who vow "until death do us part" before God are underrated here regarding THEIR grief. How disappointing! And to think I grew up Catholic but rarely find comforting words regarding a grieving widow yet this??

[@michelleryan1771]

I hate the word dumped. It sounds like something you do to rubbish, which is how people feel after a break up which they didn’t choose. So please drop using dumped,

I’m going through pain after a break up with a women 3 months ago, who I dated for over a year and some change. She told me she wasn’t married but she was! And separated. We are both catholic I was crushed by this betrayal I couldn’t believe she lied about something so serious. I tried to beat around the fact that she wasn’t married in a Catholic ceremony. It was civilly only but my spirit was convicting me daily of how being with her was sinful because we were committed adultery. Waking away was the hardest thing for me to do. And now I have resentment and hatred at her and myself.

I am going through another phase of breakup - the actual one happened almost 25 years ago after a short romance (from her point of view), but then 2 years ago I found out, she has died of cancer shortly after her 48th birthday, so I went through grieving once again, this time "burring" real person, not her idealised image I was in love with those decades ago. I do realize, our relationship would not lead anywhere, we just were too different (she was a born leader, incredible ambitious and well educated, while I'm a quite and lazy guy, content with what I got (at age 40 it turned out, I got ADHD, plus recently ASD added on top of that) and it ended in the best way possible - on good terms, before it even had a chance to turn bitter, yet it still hurts. Devil? WoW, you got to be Americans to say something that stupid. Cheers from over the Pond from the Old World! 🤣 No wonder sane Americans are complaining about the lack of qualified therapists - those who will not push reliģiozus BS onto them, yes, this problem obviously is so bad, even I have heard of it.
