I've experienced this a few times, and it is just as hard as losing someone when they die. It may be on a different level, maybe even more difficult because they are still there, just not present.

When you hurt someone with a good heart, the reaction isn't
always immediate or obvious. They won’t shout, won’t make accusations, and
won’t cause a scene. They are the kind of people who carry their pain quietly,
letting it settle within them like a shadow, while still showing kindness and
compassion to everyone around them. It’s almost as if they continue on as if
nothing has changed.
But deep inside, something shifts. The way they once trusted
and valued you starts to erode, not through any dramatic event, but through a
slow, silent realization that their trust has been broken. They begin to
distance themselves, not out of anger or vengeance, but simply because they’ve
accepted the painful truth—that they can no longer give the same love and trust
they once did.
These are the people who have loved you without reservation,
who have given you their time, their energy, and their heart. When that trust
is betrayed, it doesn’t explode into chaos. It simply fades, quietly and
inevitably, because they know that they can’t sacrifice their inner peace for
someone who cannot value them the way they deserve.
They may still be kind, they may still be compassionate, but
they will never look at you the same way again. The connection will no longer
be the same. The loss of someone like this isn’t something that can be
undone—it’s an irreversible change. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, and the
space they leave is not easily filled.
So, if you have someone like this in your life, cherish
them. Appreciate them. Because once their trust in you has been shattered,
there’s no turning back. They will walk away, and they won’t look back.
