Advice need, how to get over someone

It's been two months since the love of my life ended our relationship, we have texted very rarely and havent seen each other since. I still think about him almost all day everyday and still very heartbroken that he doesn't want me. I really don't know how to get over this, feel overwhelmed with grief even though I am usually a very strong independent person.

Advice needed on how to speed up recovery 😢

What did you enjoy doing when you were 7 years old? What kind of person were you then?

Do you have children together? If not, count your blessings as you don't have to see him every week as a constant reminder.

Keep yourself busy, cry when you need to, surround yourself with friends or family, create new happy memories to replace the old ones.

Its very hard especially this time of year so 💐
Its a hard road not a straight line to acceptance and some days you will feel sad so allow yourself to grieve for the future.
Go no contact if possible ( no children involved etc) this will help you heal quicker.
Find new places to make new memories and avoid painful places/ things that remind you.
Put all keepsakes in a box if you cant bear to part with them and dont look at it until you healed.
Same goes for your space redecorate or if budget is tight rearrange furniture items etc.
Pamper yourself..understandably you may feel low so treat yourself to a new look/ nail varnish whatever is your thing.
Set a new goal? Learn something new/ take up a new hobby/ rediscover a new absorbing skill to feel challenged. Groupon courses are usually cheap.
Reconnect with people and ask for support if you are struggling?
If the relationship ended by your partner try to see past the sadness that you were more into them and you deserve to meet in time someone who will stay the distance.
Plan something fabulous for the new decade a trip, day out something on a ' bucket list' to focus on that you might not have done in a committed relationship.
Days when you feel floored be kind to yourself and wallow for a short spell but know that it will pass and in a years time you will be in a very different space.
Its hurts my lovely, dont date again too soon delete their social media and put all that sadness into making your life as fabulous as you can x
