It is important to prove to yourself that you can do it on your own. It is really important to give yourself time to grieve the loss. In order to do that, you have to allow yourself to truly
feel the loss.
Some couples can become friends but it never works if you try right away. You MUST grieve the loss of the intimate relationship first.
Like anything that hurts, it is best to make a quick clean break.
Good luck and let you find yourself as a strong independent woman.
BTW--of course I remember you and I am sure there are many more here who do as well.
