Amanda Seyfried Thinks Breakups Are Like Death

Amanda Seyfried had a tumultuous breakup with ex Dominic Cooper, and apparently thinks grieving the loss of a boyfriend is like grieving their death. She has a point -- but at least she's now been swooped up into the arms of hottie Ryan Phillippe. 

One upside of grieving a death-like loss? If you're a public figure like Amanda, having the breakup be in the media doesn't seem nearly as difficult as the feelings you are experiencing. “It didn’t really matter to me that it was public," she said about her breakup. “It’s so hard getting over someone and time is the only thing that helps. So the hardest thing is getting used to the absence of them. It’s like they’ve died. It’s like a death."

Eventually Amanda says she became enlightened by the knowledge that life will go on, but adds that having virtually no privacy still "sucks."
