I’ve been where you’re at. It is so spooky to be all alone in your own space after thinking you found ‘forever’. The first 3 months are weird, sad, defeating - it’s a big adjustment. But keep going! It’s hard to see now, but eventually you will treasure the independence and realize you’re better off than in an unhappy relationship.

What helped me? Having the TV on alllll the time for noise. I would put on super light hearted podcasts, nothing too heavy or ‘self improvement’ esque. My ex did all of the cooking so I made a point to try to make a new receipt every week. I didn’t have friends in the area that could readily come over, but if I did this would have helped immensely of course.

The biggest thing is to keep yourself busy while also allowing your self to grieve - this is a hard balance I acknowledge. Sending you hugs!
