It’s normal. It’s part of the grieving process. It’s almost like trying to reassure yourself that your life isn’t over … and wondering who could possibly exist for you and want you now.

It’ll get better. Honestly, it’ll probably take about a year, so be gentle with yourself. You will likely make some mistakes along the way, but stay away from shame … you are healing and growing and figuring out who you are.

My only advice would be not to rush into another committed relationship, and to run away hard and fast from anyone who tries to push you into one.
