The article discusses the complexities of navigating a relationship after the death of an ex-partner. The author, following a difficult breakup with her boyfriend Tom, reflects on the importance of individual healing. Despite reuniting with Tom, they chose to remain disconnected online, valuing their personal spaces. The author emphasizes the significance of independence and self-identity, particularly following her previous marriage, and how that independence contributes to a healthier relationship. The narrative highlights the delicate balance between personal grief and new love.
I realized how important my own independence was when my previous marriage ended. I had become a stay-at-home mom and that was all that I was doing.
Breaking up is hard to do, but it wasn't where we ended up. Instead, we took some time to focus on our individual healing.
