How do I accept marriage ending and transitioning into single parenting

A year ago my H left. We spent a few months will we/won’t we resolve it but ultimately the marriage is over. But I am unable to accept it, I’m still holding out hope even though deep down I deserve better. But my mind is taking me to happy memories only and I don’t believe I will be happier single. Now my life is just existing with no happiness.

I still love H, we are on good terms (ish) but I can’t bare the thought of being a single parent to 3 primary school DC and living such a lonely life. He is only seeing the kids once every 3-4 weeks for a couple of hours (another story). I just want my old life back where I was happy, married with a 2 parent family but it’s not possible and is consuming all my emotions and taking a serious toll on my mental well-being. How can I accept it? How do I move on?

Any tips welcome.

The only thing that works IME OP is time. Lots of time and also the fact that you have no choice.

I'm sorry it sounds so brutal 😔
