Of course it hurts, its only natural.

Endings are sad, whether they're good, bad, mutual, healthy, etc.


They're sad, and that's ok.


It hurts because we still care, just because we realize the relationship must end doesn't mean we automatically switch off whatever feelings we had and still have.


In some cases its even more sad when our realization is confirmed, because then we have to squash that little voice of hope in the back of our minds. You know the one... Its the one that whispers, "maybe, just maybe there's still a chance we can make this work"...


I'm sorry you're going through this, but I assure you, your feelings are completely understandable.
