My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.”
Martin Luther
When relationships end, music = therapy. When you’re the dumpee, a breakup soundtrack is crucial to getting through it. In my recent post The Girls’ Kickass Guide to Getting Over a Breakup, I promised that I would post playlists for each of the Six Stages of Relationship Grief. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions, you guys know some kickass songs! There’s definitely something for everyone here, so check it out.
Here’s the first playlist, which is perfect for the first few days after you’ve been dumped, when you’re still trying to wrap your mind around it.
