Following a relationship breakdown.

Mine has only just ended but I'm just so sad, I'm almost 42 now and the thought of being alone or starting again is just so overwhelming

Hi Op, sorry to hear that.

Were you very intertwined? Financially etc?
Do you have children with your ex partner?

Why is being 'alone' overwhelming? Do you have a good support network of family and friends?

You feel totally sorry for yourself...a month maybe. Drink wine, eat rubbish, go to gym.
Find new things to do in the nights that you were usually together.
Plan what to say when he comes back, because he will. Tell him to sod off is a good plan.
Be by yourself for 12 months, then you'll realise that You're good by yourself.
Be thankful you're not 50 and that men in their 40's, still look like they are! 😂
