HOW TO HEAL FROM HEARTBREAK (OR AT LEAST FEEL LESS BROKEN)

This is an interactive guide to help you work through the overlooked grief of a breakup.

Breakups are messy. They're emotional. They're raw. But all of that pain doesn't go away after the initial break. It sticks around - sometimes for a long time, sometimes forever - like grief. Whether you were the dumper or the dumpee, if you were together for four months or four years, going from a "we" to a "me" is not simple.

This journal is the non-judgmental friend you can share all of your feelings with. With questions that hit all of the stages, from shock and anger all the way to sort-of-acceptance, you will learn more about yourself and what you want in a relationship. And most importantly, you will learn that the love you gave was never - and will never be - a waste.
