When you lose someone, you just don't lose a person. You lose a future that you thought you were going to experience and that hurts so badly. The thing is, for a moment, you felt that this person is a salve to this need that you have had your whole life.
After being single the entire life, this person came along and they felt like the answer. Being an extremist, when you give love to someone, you give it completely. There are no boundaries. And then you get hurt.
Of course you are heartbroken. Don't beat yourself up for being heartbroken. Don't shame yourself for being heartbroken. Don't judge yourself for being heartbroken. It's not really about the person, even though it feels like it is.
The reality is that the person represented something. And the feeling you got with them, felt like the answer to something that you've been looking for, your entire life.
But remember, if they really loved you and is meant for you, they will choose you and they will wait for you.
And when you feel like weeping over, pause and think, is it worth it?
