However, the card also indicates that not everything is lost, that there is still a part or there are elements to save it.

The important thing is to focus on these things and not stay anchored in what has been lost, the mistakes, in the past events that have led to this crisis.

If the relationship is insurmountable, the five of cups tells you that even if you cannot see it and understand it like that now, this is surely the best for you, only with enough time and with the arrival of new relationships you will be able to see it.

You become very unhappy, there is always a resentment feeling going on inside you. You are always disappointed with the results you are getting from all the aspects of your life. Your loved ones leave you.
