A supernova happens when a
huge star runs out of fuel. Entire galaxies can be outshined by one stars death.
The word supernova in this context however means when someone finally gives up and ends something and the person on the receiving end of this breakup’s whole
world may collapse when the end came. Examples may be a loved one dying and you experiencing a ‘supernova’ because your whole
universe has been outshined by one person running out of fuel. Other examples may be with breakups or missed opportunities.
“Rein is healing from a supernova since his
spouse divorced him. He can’t seem to
focus on anything else.”
“Her
husband died last year. His death affected everyone around him like a supernova.”
