I also went through this after 12 years,, Its tough, real tough. I have to agree with BK that 8 months seems odd. but I lost weight, didnt sleep, but I kept busy and you hang with your friends. You have to pack up the memories and put them somewhere. Anything that reminds you of her HAS to be out of site and mind. I spent 2 years just getting my life back.( I caught alot of fish) anyway I meet a girl while walking my dog and we became good friends she also went through a bad divorce.. and 5 years later, she is the best thing that ever happened to me. If there is one thing out of this Its time does heal this!!! Hang in there..
