[Loving to death or the pain of the first love breakup]

A break-up in love can be understood as a mourning, that of a relationship in which many hopes had been founded. This notion is questioned, more particularly in the light of our clinical experience with adolescents, who were seen in consultation following their first losses of love objects. Each love mourning process is unique, evolving according to its own temporality and trajectory, linked in large part to characteristics inherent to the subject, but also to the context of the loss or the relationship maintained with the object of the loss. Despite this, This work participates in the construction of new affective investments and in the construction of the adult subject.
