Love this so much!

I second what so many others have said: it will just take time. That amount of time is much different for some than for others. It takes me a long time get over people, places and things, because I form strong attachments. I find a combination of distraction and redirection (spending time with friends, committing or recommitting myself to activities, etc) helps, as does journalling; journalling has always gotten me through the hardest places because it's the only time I can be 100% honest because I find sometimes even in therapy I listen to some of the stuff coming out of my mouth and I'm like, Why did I say that?

Also...spending time in nature. For me, there's just nothing more healing. I used to take long walks in the woods, or, when I live in cities, in parks, the closest natural places I can find. If you don't have access for whatever reason, you may want to try going on Youtube and watching time-lapse nature videos, most of which are set to really beautiful music. It's the little things sometimes.

So sorry to hear that you are having to go through this, and wishing you a least-possible-obstacle-filled recovery.
