Sending you warm hugs and positive vibes, @Jane833. Believe me when I say that each person in this community has been there. The sudden shifts, the changes, and silence. No reason, no conclusion, no clarity.
I have been in separation from my TF for coming to 8 months now, and even though in some aspects, it has gotten easier, in some ways, the ache feels the same. His memory hums at the back of mind constantly, even though I am not actively thinking of or chasing him. I see signs and synchronicities, I hear songs, I hear his name. This is not our first separation, but it is our longest. Like you, I feel him with me all the time. It is not something I can shake off or get over, even though I’ve tried.
I sent a friend of mine this quote recently that I felt resonates with this journey: Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.
Silence is a gift as well, as much as it doesn’t seem like it right now. It gives you both space to reflect and focus on yourselves. I’ve spent the last 2 years on this journey, and it’s a rollercoaster ride. Some days I feel alright, then there are days I crash and completely fall apart. Leaving the light on isn’t easy, but I stand firm in my conviction. I am no longer waiting, or chasing, but allowing the universe to show me just how good it can be.
Choose yourself and do things that make you happy. Journaling has also helped me a lot. They say your TF reflects your core wounds back to you so that you can heal them, and that is what happened with me.
Take one day at a time, and allow yourself to feel whatever you may feel. Acknowledge your emotions because each one of them are valid. You matter, you are important, and you deserve love.
I hope you feel better, and if you ever need to talk. You are always welcomed to drop me a message. x
