Missing them doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice. It doesn’t mean you should go back. It just means your heart is still catching up to what your soul already understood.

You can grieve something and still know it wasn’t meant for you. The pain doesn’t invalidate your decision — it confirms that you cared. And healing doesn’t come from going back, it comes from allowing yourself to fully let go of what you hoped it would be.

This won’t hurt forever. One day the weight will lift, the memories will soften, and you’ll see clearly why it had to end the way it did.

You: I miss them

God: I know you do

You: Does that mean I made a mistake letting them go?

God: No. It means you’re human. You can miss someone and still know they weren’t right for you.

You: It hurts, God

God: Of course it does. Just because they were wrong doesn’t mean losing them doesn’t hurt.

You: Will it always hurt this much?

God: No. One day you will think of them and feel nothing. Or you will feel grateful it ended. Or you will wonder why you held on for so long.

You: When?

God: When you’ve processed the loss. When you’ve grieved what you thought it would be. When you’ve made space for what’s actually coming.

You: I don’t know if I can do that, God.

God: You can. You are. Missing them is part of letting them go. And I will be by your side through it all. It will get better. I promise.
