this really sucks. she’s with someone else and says that maybe one day we can try again but not now. i’m in pieces trying to move on. i really thought things were going better than for a long time between us, but…
i am afraid that i’ll never find someone i connect with as deeply as her. she was my first and only love and i’m truly heartbroken. will it ever be ok again? does anyone know any good coping strategies or ways to deal with this?
I hate to rely on an old trope but time does heal all wounds. I learned that losing my first love and also my mom. You’re going through grief right now and it’s a shitty thing. I’m not a therapist so I really don’t have any advice outside of letting yourself feel your emotions. When I did grief counseling after losing my mom talking about it helped, journaling, allowing myself to feel what I had been suppressing down, all good things. If you think you need professional help for it, I’d strongly recommend talk therapy like that.
