If it's a possibility, you might even see a therapist for several sessions to work through this grieving process. It's obvious that this relationship is monumental in your life, and until you have dealt with it, you may not be able to move on to other relationships.
It really does feel like I'm dealing with a death... what makes things worse is my grandmother (who was like a mother to me) passed away at the first of this year, but at least I had my relationship with the girl to get me through it. Now I have nobody and it's very hard to handle this alone. Thank you for your reply and advice about a therapist.. I may give that a shot.
