Top 10 Goodbye Quotes for Healing from Toxic Relationships
1. “Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t letting go but realizing that you must.” — Unknown

Actually, healing starts as soon as you escape a problematic person or situation, it is not the end of the restoration process. This quote emphasizes on the fact that one needs to shift their environment for recovery purposes.
3. “Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are part of your history, but not your destiny.” — Steve Maraboli
You do not have to let everybody into your future if they cannot contribute to your future positively. This rather hopeful assertion from Maraboli invites one to accept one’s future without baggage from the past.
4. “The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment to walk away.” — Unknown

5. “It’s better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.” — Dr. Phil
Being in a toxic relationship is worse than facing loneliness or being alone all one’s life. In Dr. Phil’s voice, that prompted me to analyze that sometimes it is perfectly okay to be alone than be with a person who is inherently toxic.
6. “Don’t let someone who has done nothing keep you from someone who will do anything.” — Anonymous
This quote is a good way to say that breaking up with a bad person to pave the way for a much better partner. There is no reason to be afraid of a new life or true happiness and if you are reading this book you obviously want both.
7. “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are.” — J.P. Morgan

8. “You deserve to be with someone who looks at you every single day like they’ve won the lottery.” — Unknown
You probably don’t want to be with a person who does not see the worth in you every single day. The essence of this quote is to wait for the right man to value you and not settle for any man or love.
9. “Sometimes you have to give up on people. Not because you don’t care, but because they don’t.” — Unknown
It’s never easy to let go but it has to be done; not because you have no care in the world but because the other person doesn’t. This quote can be understood as the indication of the need to have a shield for one’s feelings.
10. “Stop asking why they keep hurting you and start asking why you keep allowing it.” — Unknown
This quote turns the attention inside: the message is to accept only the best for oneself and not endure anything in a relationship.
How to Heal After Saying Goodbye to a Toxic Relationship
Rediscovering Yourself After a Toxic Goodbye
After the funeral has been held and the last word has been exchanged, the process of recovery entails the process of the search for the self. It is the moment to regain the sense of life’s purpose, restore confidence in oneself, and set up new constructive barriers. Here is your chance to stock up on building the self without any distractions and to design your life in accordance with what you deem important.
The Importance of a Support System
Recovery is not easy and nobody says it is easy, but it emphasized in that nobody should recover alone. Make yourself a network of people who can actually provide you with moral support and/or advice, these can include friends, family or even a professional counselor. Surrounding oneself with such people can be very valuable in healing and getting over the incident.
Practicing Self-Compassion on the Healing Journey
It must be understood that healing is not a linear progress but the accomplishment at that point is genuine and perceivable. That is why further specific focus on self-care must be kept throughout that process, as Jones (2002) mentioned. Learn that it is good to cry, to feel sad, discouraged, or depressed, and to let ‘negative’ feelings surface and be expressed, without feeling guilty; don’t always focus on goals; it is also good to feel a sense of achievement in small ways; the idea it may take years to have ‘blessings’ is perfectly acceptable; so too are setbacks. It is even the smallest step, but it a step nonetheless.

Ending bad or unhealthy relationships is not as simple as cutting ties but it is a beginning to a new healthy part in life. I want to underline that all of these quotes and the insights underneath are not about words only; they are your directions guiding through the storms of this period, a light in the darkness. We still have to have faith in ourselves and know that things will improve and act in a way getting to those better days.
