Everyone talks about missing the person who left. Nobody talks about missing the version of you that only existed inside that relationship. The one who had that specific laugh, that mapped-out future, that whole self... gone.

This isn't heartbreak. This is identity death. And your brain is grieving something it can't even name yet. Science explains why.
