Breakup grief has a way of living in the body long after the relationship ends. And I don’t just mean sadness. I mean the tightness in your chest, the ache in your stomach, the way certain songs, places, or quiet moments still catch you off guard even when you know the relationship wasn’t right.

I’ve been there, and so have so many of the people I support. Functioning on the outside. Aching on the inside. Wondering:“Why is this still affecting me? ”The truth is: breakup grief isn’t logical. It’s nervous-system deep. It touches attachment, identity, safety, longing, childhood patterns and the stories we’ve carried for decades. And when you’re in it, it can feel like you “should” be further along than you are while a quiet part of you is still cracked open.

I created the Breakup Grief & Growth Compass for that place. For the people who are still trying to make sense of the grief that doesn’t always look loud  but lives inside the body.
🌿 What the Breakup Grief & Growth Compass Is
The Compass is a guided emotional check-in tool for anyone navigating breakup grief or heartbreak, especially when your healing doesn’t feel linear. It isn’t therapy or mindset advice. And it definitely isn’t about forcing yourself to “move on.”It’s a calm place to slow down and notice:what your heart is still carrying, how grief shows up in your nervous system. which attachment patterns might be activated, what you actually need instead of what you think you should feel. Because grieving someone you loved doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.

💫 Why I Created It (The Real Truth)
I created this because I’ve lived through heartbreaks that rearranged my insides, the kind that awaken old wounds, bring up childhood pain, and make you question your worth, your intuition, and your beliefs about love. Some breakups don’t just end a relationship; they expose the parts of us that were longing to be held, seen, or chosen. And when the relationship ends, those parts don’t magically disappear.

 In my own healing, and in the work I do, I’ve seen how shame often piles on top of grief:“I should be over this.” “Other people move on faster.” “Why do I still care?” But the truth is… your nervous system doesn’t have a timeline.You might not just be grieving the person. You might be grieving:

•the safety you thought you found
• the version of yourself you got to be
• the future your heart was already living in
• the parts of you that finally felt seen
• or the fantasy that healing could happen through that relationship

And sometimes you’re also grieving old wounds resurfacing, wounds you didn’t ask to revisit.This Compass was born from that understanding.

🌊 Who This Might Support
The Compass may be meaningful if:
💔 you’re healing after a breakup or divorce
🌀 you feel stuck between letting go and still holding on
🧠 you understand the breakup logically but your body still aches
💫 you’re grieving a situationship or unresolved ending
❤️ you don’t want to repeat old patterns in your next relationship

 What You’ll Experience Inside
When you open the Compass, you’ll be guided through gentle prompts and reflective insight. You will not be told to “get over it” or bypass your emotions. This is about nervous-system kindness.

My intention is that you feel:

💗 A Final Word  From My Heart
If breakup grief has cracked you open…If you’re still carrying them in your nervous system…If you’re tired of wondering when it will finally stop hurting…I want you to know this:You’re not broken. You’re grieving. And your heart is allowed to take its time.

Healing after a breakup isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about gently returning to yourself, with more compassion, clarity, and truth than before.
