When love is lost, your whole identity is shattered. Understanding the nature of love and breakups won’t take the pain away. But, as the pain begins to subside, the best thing to do is to take some time for yourself, do the activities that you enjoy, especially the ones that you may have stopped doing while in your relationship, and begin to look toward the future and to move on. Here are some breakup quotes to help you do just that. This can also be encouraging as well, as you read the thoughts of people who have broken up, survived it, and have moved on.

Let’s start with some quotes that express how much it hurts to breakup.

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.

~Nicholas Sparks

I wish I had the guts to walk away from what we had.

But I can’t… Because I know you wouldn’t come after me

and that’s what hurts the most.

It’s been raining since you left me, now I’m drowning in the flood.

You see, I’ve always been a fighter, but without you I give up.

When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

~ by Flavia Weedn ~

I can’t escape the thought of you.

Even in my dreams you are there.

It’s not fair how your gone,

and how you’re moving on so fast,

while I am still living in the past.
