just want you to know, that I heard your pain in your post...... I understand. 20 years or 4 years.... when you connect with someone, it's like someone cut off your right arm. I have felt moments where I couldn't breathe, like someone punched me in the diaphram. I try to look at the advice that I give my own daughter............... "only time, honey. Only time will heal a broken heart. There is nothing anyone can say to you, to make that pain go away. It is nothing you can see, it's bascially something that you can't even put into words."
I tell her that, (when a boy hurts her, because pain of the heart is universal, dosen't matter the situation or age, or time limit), it's just there.
I believe the key is time, and self-love. Telling yourself that you love you more than him, NO MATTER WHAT..... and this can be hard to do, if we are damaged...
but as with eveything else in life... FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!
keep loving you MORE.
Hugs,
