A break up is a huge event in someone’s life. The longer the relationship was, the harder the breakup usually is. The end of a relationship is usually met with a wide range of emotions that can include sadness, anger, and feelings of hopelessness and heartbreak. For others, a breakup can be a relief. Whatever the reason for the breakup, it is still the end of a relationship between two people who cared about each other.
