In my counseling practice, I help clients in various stages of divorce or breakup and it can vary from support/guidance to healing from an abusive relationship.

Forgiveness is letting go and moving on. Forgiveness isn’t excusing painful acts committed against you or those you love.

Why does heartbreak hurt so much? It is like going through a tsunami of feelings: anger, grief, sadness, regret, shame and so on. In addition, it is difficult to get the needed support; either you get a lot of unsolicited advice, “I told you so” comments or “time will heal” sentiments.
