Dealing with Death (Greif, Acceptance, Moving on)

Bro, my deepest condolences. I know that it's really very hard to lose someone who is very dear to your heart and who has been an important part of your life. If you still can't go over the fact that your ex is already gone, don't be too hard on yourself. If you're still feeling the stinging pain, don't fight it. Just take everything in strides. Accept the reality that grieving is part of your recovery. Fighting the pain will only make it harder for you to easily recover. It's perfectly normal for you to feel what you're currently feeling because, like everything else, it will soon come to pass. If it will be helpful,though, bro, try to gradually accept that your ex is already gone. Try to remember the good memories that you shared together so that it will lessen your pain and help in your grieving process. Also try to imagine that she's in a peaceful place right now where she will no longer experience pain, have worries, or fear anything. If you could do this, I feel that your recovery will be sooner than you expect it to be. I'm pretty sure that wherever your ex-girlfriend is right now, the last thing she would want is for her to cause you any pain. But to get over your hurt, bro, I feel that your new girlfriend would also be very helpful. If you could, try to talk to her about what you're feeling. Don't hold back. Reveal your emotions. So that when you finally release the pain that you're keeping, you could feel better and perhaps move on. I hope my response could be of help in your recovery, bro.
