HEARTBREAK CHRONICLES: How to survive the stages of grief after a breakup

A day-by-day account of the first three days after a breakup — the crying, the anger, the numbness, and everything Eden did to get through it.In this Heartbreak Chronicles episode, Eden takes listeners through days one to three post-breakup in real time: the nonstop crying and phone calls home on day one, the anger and Madonna-fuelled gym rage of day two, and the numb, longing ache of day three. She breaks down her actual coping mechanisms — screaming into pillows, scribbling out anger in notebooks, leaning on her support network, and reframing passion as a way through the pain — along with the harder realisations about codependency, shame, and why healing from a breakup is never a straight line.Plus this week's listener dilemma: how do you get out of being a bridesmaid for a childhood friend you've drifted apart from, without blowing up the friendship?This week I go through the varying emotions I've experienced in the first few days post breakup, as well as my coping mechanisms and the biggest struggles. You can send me your dilemmas by direct message or by emailing [email protected]❗️ DISCLAIMER ❗️ These episodes were recorded in the immediate aftermath of my  breakup and only show my version of events. Although the thoughts, feelings and realisations are authentic to me, I'm only human and my feelings might have changed as I've gone through the healing process.
