Coping with loss

It may sound stupid but I would be grateful for having shared those 4 years with her. And I would just keep on getting the most from life. That's probably what she had wanted for you.

Condolences. You move on one moment at a time.

I recommend keeping your friends and family close. Even if you aren't up to it. Don't shut down. Get involved in a sport or find some new interests. Make sure you keep yourself physically healthy or start if you aren't already working out regularly.

Get counseling. Preferably with a counselor that specializes in bereavement.

It's not only the person you lose but who you were with them that you lose. It takes time but it'll get easier.

My deepest condolences. Just try to be with people as often as you can, and try to slowly incorporate some nice , relaxing or fun activities into your day to help you get back to normal, even if you're not so into it.

Accept it.

My condolences as well. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through.

The only words of encouragement I can offer is to be thankful for the time you did have with her. You surely have some amazing memories that will last you a lifetime. Something that a lot of us in this world never get to experience.

At the end of the day, memories are all that we really have.

Sorry man. Be aware though that you may be looking at her with rose tinted glasses. Your relationship wasn't as perfect as you want to remember it as. The sad truth is that if your relationship played itself out fully it most likely would have ended in divorce or an unhappy marriage. Stay strong.
