It's very difficult to move on without the person we thought our life was all about. But you know what... You really can move on. Embrace your feelings so you can grieve, avoiding them will be just a band-aid and make it worse. Write down all your thoughts and feelings on a diary. Seek support in your friends and family. And love yourself. Do pleasurable things and activities, invest in yourself, do some sports, learn a new language por other subject. Remember that thing you would like to do bit you kept postponing? Now it's the time to do it! Accept the end of the relationship, seek support and love/invest in yourself. When you realize it, you already started to live a new life.

Be patient with yourself; give yourself time to process whatever situation you’re going through. I also recommend that you do not resist your emotions, whether positive or negative because anything that you resist grows stronger. Take time to do the things that excite you the most and open yourself up to other people who want to help and support you in your journey. The most dangerous thing that you can do to yourself is withdrawing from others completely. Always try to be positive with everything that occurs in your life and try to look at things from different perspectives.

Start with the simple things you did before you knew the person. Of course, you will remember the person often. However, don't let the memories be painful to you, but rather beautiful and good moments that are with you in your life. The person not only enriched your life when he or she was there, the memories (especially the beautiful ones) will come back to you often and, if you let them, will brighten your day. Allow yourself to grieve in a quiet moment to process your emotions, don't try to hide from your feelings. Face them and don't let them take control. Discover a new chapter in your life, it has changed but that does not mean it is not still worth living. Your life depends on only one person and that is you!

That is a tricky one and a tough one. It might be hard at first trying to live life without that person, but you have to hang in there because I am sure that person would want you to continue on and be happy. Also, it is important to find your individuality and your true self. Focus on growing as an individual. Slowly but surely, things will get easier and easier. I hope this helps at least some what. Just keep going and focus on your self-care, hobbies, and overall becoming the person you have wanted to become in the world.

One of the most greatest way to love someone is to love them without possessing them, that includes knowing that you love that person but for one reason or another it won’t work out, maybe they are not ready for the kind of commitment you want and it’s ok, not everyone you met will meet you at the same level that you are and is nothing bad it means only they are not ready not at the leaves you are, if you feel you love them you learn to love from a different perspective. One without possession wish them the best in their own path and move forward, take care of your own path learn, grow, evolve, don’t give up the control of it to anyone, it has been given to you, as long as you keep that control you’ll thrive.

I still relate to this question so much. Then one person told me, that in order to keep that person alive in my life, I had to really think about the characteristics and qualities that I loved so much about that person and implement them in my life. I had to start spreading energy the same way and do it while actively accepting that person no longer was in my life. It is also important to remember life before you knew that person and the things that brought you happiness up until that point. We have it in us to grow from hard times, but you have to be willing to put the work in. :)

It’s difficult trying to start to properly live without someone you think you can’t live without, but this is something that happens a lot so your not alone! It’s not an easy road but is definitely is possible and doable like everything is if you put your mind to it. The first step is to start doing activities that you love and do them with other people that you enjoy being around. When that’s over, you can always try doing something in your house to pass the time such as a bit of cooking or cleaning or as I normally do, listen to music and game at the same time! When you start to do things with other people or your devote most of your time to moving on by keeping occupied with other things then it starts to get easier and you begin to think positively and find even more activities that you enjoy which will help you live your life without that someone. Always think positively and do not think you can’t do it, you can!

It is hard to start a new life without the person you can't live without. Perhaps, I would be denying it for a while, and slowly accept the fact that they are not here anymore. I think there is nothing wrong feeling so upset. The important thing is you still have the desire to move on. Of course, maintaining such healthy mental state is not easy. But as someone who previously suffered from major depression, and with somebody who loved me so much, she taught me how to be brave. Not only be strong, but be brave. So, to those who are struggling from loss at this time, let us share the feelings and overcome it together.

A way of starting to live a life you own it will be by focusing on ourselves, learning to be comfortable with ourselves and being kind with yourself through the whole journey. By taking our time to discover what we like, what we are passionate about and ultimately to understand the importance of our connections/ relationships in our lives. By educating ourselves, looking onto attachment styles, identifying ours for a better understanding of the causes why we think that we cannot live without a person. Being aware of all of the above, place us a step forward in the process of getting the life we want to have.

The first step is to affirm that you can, in fact, live without them. At the end of the day, all you're going to have is yourself, for the rest of your life. So you better love yourself and give yourself some more appreciation for being there through all your hardships! Focus on you, because you come first - always. You never NEED to depend on someone and that is for you to decide and affirm. You decide who has a place in your life and who doesn't, and you must affirm that you are strong enough to live without that person.
