I am presently grieving over a relationship that has run its course. The Tiber River was too big a leap, period. At yesterday’s Feast of the Assumption, I was impressed to begin a 54 day novena.

But how do I pick one? St. Francis de Sales comes to mind. So does St. Raphael. So do Mary and St. Joseph…

Is it a personal devotion, or must I do it according to a specific schedule?
 
Just a thought - you are understandably in pain. What an opportunity to unite your suffering to that of our precious Jesus who experienced total abandonment on His cross of pain. Divine Mercy comes to mind. In your suffering, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with all of your empathy and your suffering for those whom God loves who still offend Him with sin. Turn the focus off the failed relationship and onto love and healing for those alienated from Our Blessed Savior. In this way, healing will find your heart. I am sharing your hurt and praying for you.

Thank you for hearing my pain and knowing the direction I needed to go. Your post is just what I needed to read. I was also impressed with the Divine Mercy when I was praying on Saturday. I see you are new here. Welcome to the forums.
