Hi Marissa,
When one goes thru heartbreak, it can be painful. This was one of the reasons why I became afraid of intimacy. The last time I got close to someone, they hurt me so bad, I asked myself if I was even worthy of love. That lasted a long time. Now, I know I am worthy of love, but it will be on my terms. It took a long time to heal, but I was able to get thru it.
The first days and weeks are the toughest. You feel lost and are not sure what to do and you feel miserable. That is normal. Once you get thru those feelings, you'll be wiser and stronger than before. You are an amazing person and you will find that happiness, I know you will. It takes time, love and tenderness. (Long time since I referenced one Michael Bolton). Your heart and soul will know when the time is right.
Meanwhile, do the things you love to do and take it one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time.
Always think about the here and now. The past is gone and the future isn't here yet.
Take care.
