It is. 2 years from when my ex decided to leave, and I am finally independent, happy, living again and even involved again with someone new. But.. it was a rough time the majority of the first year. Even though after just a few weeks I realized our marriage was not based on love and I had no feelings for her, there was still a grieving process to deal with and the emptiness and loneliness did take it's toll anyway. so if one is left and they still love their ex, I can imagine it being even more devastating and painful.

I feel deeply for all here who are struggling. Don't put off the grieving process. You can't avoid it. It will chase you down until you face it. Then you have to start accepting the unacceptable.

Denial will not allow one to get past it. I wholeheartedly agree. It has to be faced and overcome. By facing it and looking the monster straight in the face, only then can it be slain and one can accept the new life and world before them.
