Dealing with Loss

[John Roberts]

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about the loss of a soulmate, in this case leaving(for the second time ) me....
How to cope?
How to fill the void?
I would greatly appreciate any input.

who was it that said: "masturbation saved my life"

as for filling the void, nothing you can do but wait and work through it. it always gets better with time

I am so sorry for your pain.

I don't know anything that takes the pain away any sooner.

But I can give you a cyber hug.

Keep Busy

Everything happens for a reason, and if it's meant to be, it will circle around again in your life.
Meanwhile, learn something that you have never done before. Something that is self-improving in nature. Tackling something difficult occupies your full attention, giving you the time away from the grief, allowing you to heal.
There must be a skill, recreational activity, or vocational apptitude you want to improve on, or attempt. Give them a try!

*This way you make yourself improve through mastering an unknown, meet new people, and your confidence comes out alot higher for the next relationship. Good hunting!

I'm sorry for you pain. I wish there was a magical answer. But, your grief is uniquely yours. Don't fight it. Cry. Pound pillows. Pity yourself. Write. Listen to sad songs.
Do what YOU Need. This is the time to nuture you.

Thanks Lost Cause,
I forgot that is how I survived that last time, I took up dancing, ended up doing Mambo and loving it....it was very demanding and took a lot of practice. I may take it to the Gold level this time. Maybe I will learn a new vocation.

Raindancer that is also a good idea.....I have written poetry in the past....I play music as well....maybe this time I can combine the two.....the sad songs are bit much for me...I feel overwhelmed.
The last time this happened I was in a grocery store that was playing "she left me" type songs.....I was an emotional wreck by the time I got to the checkout...Thanks for the wonderful suggestions.
