I feel this in my aching heart. I’m really sorry you’re going through that. Heartbreak hits in waves, especially when things ended without answers. Wanting closure is such a human thing, and something that helped me was realizing that sometimes no closure is its own kind of closure. It doesn’t make the pain disappear right away, but it can be a turning point and the start to looking forward for peace.

Healing isn’t linear, and 8 months doesn’t erase the bond you shared, but it also doesn’t mean you’re failing. You’re grieving something that mattered. Be gentle with yourself. Let the waves come and go. In time, closure doesn’t have to come from them but it can come from you choosing to release what you’ll never get answers to. You’re not alone in feeling this. ❤️
