When grief over relationship loss isn't taken seriously

My ex-boyfriend and I broke up two years ago but we lived together for five years and shared everything, and I still cry in grocery stores when I see his favorite cereal but people say I should be dating again.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The death of a life partnership through breakup carries real bereavement that society dismisses as mere romantic disappointment.
