You will be fine one day, messed up the next, good to go 6 months from now, but will sometimes think of the person. My ex wife and I have been apart 20 years. I think about her from time to time. But no longer is the associated emotional ties that we once had. Just fill your life with the activities that will empower you and do it one day at a time. You will get there.

Stressed_26 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I had both a breakup and death this year. I think accepting death is easier than breakup, when you are left for someone else. You cry both times but are left wanting and bitter only in the breakup. So there is no way to let go I feel. The longing becomes less, and may be you find someone else, and that's how it gets buried. If the new person is much better than the previous then you let go I feel. Link to post Share on other sites
