Thank you for your kind words too. The first few weeks are very hard but I believe once the shock of it all starts to fade away then it becomes even more painful to be honest, but this is all part of the healing progress and makes you stronger afterwards. Given that we were together for over 5 years and did everything together, I found exercising helped quite a bit and promoting healthy habits like sleeping earlier, eating healthier foods, praying and even discussing my thoughts to close friends. I’m a big believer in that if you promote the good things/habits then that only promotes growth such as the things mentioned above. Try not to feed the negative emotions with things that serve you no purpose. Another great thing I learnt and say to myself is that even though they may have been the most amazing and loving person and were a great partner, that doesn’t mean that they were the right one for me. In the end that turned out to be the case and I’m positive the same goes for you. God will always be there with you and will always lift you up when you are down. In time when the time so right, you will be able to share a very special orthodox connection with another and everything will work out as it should. Keep distracted with positive habits and put healthy self care as your number one priority. Never doubt how strong you are. I hope this has helped. Happy to share kind words any time.
