Thank you for this illuminating piece, Jeremiah and Julia. When you have a clean break, it still hurts, but there is clarity.
In my personal experience, healing from the relationship ending from ghosting vs. other breakups where the communication was clear, improved the healing arc considerably. The ambiguity from ghosting tied up my emotional resources for years. Would this person return? Would I let them?
So glad to be connected! Lane Anderson recommended you during an event we co-hosted this weekend!
Of course Sarah! Glad to be connected as well. Thanks Lane for connecting us!
This is the whole principle behind psychoanalysis--unresolved conflict continues to get worked out in your dreams and subconscious, regardless of how much "peace" you manage to make with the thing that was left unresolved. I'm reminded of this every time I have a nightmare or bizarre dream about my marriage during which I was ghosted at the end, even though that marriage ended 5 years ago and a lot of cool shit has happened in my life since then.
I appreciate this perspective! Our sweet subconscious continues to work on the Rubik's cubes of our life, even when we are asleep.
It’s funny how that happens in our dreams! You were ghosted in your marriage?! 😳 Glad to hear of your resilience. I’m so grateful to have had an amicable end to my marriage, as devastating as it was regardless.

Yah--I'll share that one off line. It was...not good.
