I still send him a letter almost every day.
My advice, and it is only advice for you to take or leave as you so desire, is to cut back on the letters. Please do not take that to mean stop the letters, cut back on them. Instead of writing to him, take some time to write for yourself. Either in a journal, here on SR or to another friend.
This gives you some time for yourself, and you help you start to adjust to your new life with new outlook!
