J: You just wrote what I am feeling but am still too raw to put into form.

I know exactly this feeling. I left out that arriving at this point took like 5–6 months. I went through so many ups and downs. I’m still working through it tbh. And the conclusion I came to is you can’t rush this process. No matter what happened, that person is embedded into your life’s story. When you talk about yourself, that person is a part of memories/moments/jokes/etc. I don’t think we ever “get over” a love and a loss like this. But I do think it changes in a way that lasts as long as the love does.
