I think it is good to give yourself some down time, and just not do anything and allow yourself to be sad, but I think that it can’t go on too long. Sometimes you just have to force yourself to get out of bed and do something. Eventually you will start getting excited about new opportunities and possibilities in your life. And know in your heart that you will get through this, and yes, your life will be better.
I think it might be a good idea to try something new- put down the old hobby for a sec, and do something you haven’t done or do not usually do.
I know grief is a process, and your relationship, or at least what you wanted it to be is lost, and it takes time to heal, so don’t push yourself too hard. I am just sharing some of the things that helped me when I left an abusive relationship. Trust me, it gets better.
Take care
