Introduction

Some endings happen in a single conversation. The grieving does not.

The hardest part is often not the moment they walk away, but everything that comes after. The silence, the questions, the empty spaces where answers should be.

Introduction

You’re allowed to admit that it hurt.

You’re allowed to miss someone and still know they were not right for you. You’re allowed to grieve even a relationship you chose to leave.

Chapter Ten

The Me I Found After You

For a long time, I thought the biggest thing I would have to discover after you was how to live without you. I did not know there would be someone else waiting to be discovered too. Me.

Chapter Ten

And Then, There Was Me

I did not need the ending to become beautiful. I needed to discover that my life could still be.

From the back cover

Not the woman you were before.

Somewhere between what broke you and what comes next, there is a version of you waiting to be found. The woman you found after.

I never knew it would become the story of the person I finally learned to live with. Me.
