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.

This journal is the nonjudgmental 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 important, you will learn that the love you gave was never--and will never be--a waste.
