I'm sorry to hear what happened. It's sounds to me like you're starting with the right attitude and looking out for yourself first and foremost. The disappointment is harrowing and so hard to deal with.
My only advice is to keep your mind busy on other tasks as it's so easy to wallow and over think things (I could have made it an Olympic sport). Like any wound it takes time to heal. My friend put it best for me "If you cut yourself it hurts sharply to start with but it begins to heal. If you keep picking at it, it won't ever close up and will still hurt. Eventually You'll be left with a scar but you'll soon stop noticing it"
Stay strong xx
