Some exes are forgotten in three weeks, others stay in your head for months. When a breakup will not go away, a concrete gesture often helps more than telling yourself to move on. Writing an epitaph for your ex, choosing a stone, placing it in a garden: it is a small breakup ritual, a bit theatrical, that finally puts a full stop on the story.
The Garden of Hearts is the tombz district made for that. You bury the toxic ex, the ex you miss, the crush you never confessed to, the friend you no longer hear from. You can stay serious and write three sincere words, or go the other way with an epitaph that stings. Either way, what was stuck in your head ends up set down somewhere, in front of everyone, and it relieves more than you would think.
Who rests in the Garden of Hearts
It holds the "Exes & relationships" and "Friendships" categories. Stories of a few weeks and marriages alike, breakups by text, ghosts who never gave an explanation, childhood friendships that drifted apart. Each grave keeps a name (or a nickname), dates and an epitaph. Visitors can light a candle, which is a way of saying "I get it".

Frequently asked questions
How do you grieve a breakup?
There is no timetable, but two things almost always help: putting words on what happened, and marking the end with a gesture. Writing an epitaph does both at once. If the sadness lasts or stops you from living, talk to someone close or to a professional.
Can my ex see their grave?
The grave page is public, so yes, anyone can read it. For that reason, avoid full names, accusations and anything that could identify someone. A first name, a nickname or "my ex" is enough, and every grave is reviewed before publication.
Can I bury an ex without naming them?
Of course. Many graves just say "My toxic ex" or an invented nickname. The effect is the same: what matters is the epitaph and the act of placing it.
