The hardest part of love isn’t losing them. It’s losing yourself. There’s a scene in Grey’s Anatomy that stays with me. Dr. Burke has just called off his wedding to Christina Yang. She goes back to their apartment and realizes he’s gone. His things are packed, and he’s left her. Still standing there in her wedding dress, she turns to Meredith and says, “He’s gone. I’m free.” It’s one of those moments where the heartbreak and the relief hit all at once. (1/3)
