Passei por isso há uns 10 anos. Na altura um livro me ajudou imenso, descrevendo todas as partes do luto e ajudando a ultrapassa-lo. How to Survive the Loss of a Love. Recomendo profundamente.
one of the best books I've read that helped me heal from devastating losses is How to Survive the Loss of a Love (forgive the dated graphic design lol). I've recommended it to many people & it has very actionable steps that work. the first heartbreak is often the hardest, so she made need space or more social/direct support depending on her personality. you & her might find it helpful. something else that always helped me was to imagine how long we get to live due to medical advances, could be up to 120 yrs for her generation, & life will be full of meeting so many more people that are better suited for her. 2.5 years seems like forever at that age, but it's a short blink in the grand scheme.
maybe share what helped you get over your heartbreaks as well. talking about funny or embarrassing traits former partners had can add some levity to a sad situation.
How to Survive the Loss of a Love (Peter McWilliams); my high school guidance counselor gave it to me when I struggled with a breakup in college. Badly enough that I asked my former guidance counselor for help. It gets better, OP, trust me.

Hi there.
This book helped me through my divorce. It can also apply to the death of a loved one and if I’m being honest, it also helped me say goodbye to whiskey when I got sober.
It is basically short pages of poetry and musings about what a person is feeling when someone or something the love is no longer a part of their lives. It’s an easy read and it made me feel much better. Still sad, but validated.
I recommend it highly. Stay strong.
I’m guessing this may be a first for you - that you’re either young or just haven’t had a lot if experience with the end of a relationship. The first couple of times burn pretty badly.
About a million years ago when I was first broken up with I was gifted this book. I remember it being really helpful to me.

It gets better. Hang in there.
focusing on yourself and your hobbies is the right approach. a broken heart can take a really long time to heal, but it's still possible to be friends with someone you once loved. maybe give this relationship some space to make room for your own healing, though.
a book I've read a few times and always recommend is called How to Survive the Loss of a Love. it's a little dated (if you couldn't tell from the cover), but is solid advice. take the time to grieve and remember you're only 27--you still got about 100+ years of living left with current advances in medical technology and that means you'll find love again. hang in there.
Please do yourself a favor and get the book How to Survive the Loss of a Love. It's just encouragement, and warmth, in 1 or 2 page bite-size pieces. Easy, gentle reading.
You will feel understood, and cared for. This book has helped me when nothing else could. It was like having a best friend in my pocket.
I'm praying now for you, your grandfather, and family. He sounds like a gem of a guy. He was blessed to have a grandkid who loved(s) him so much.
Why are you looking for sympathy from people who have never even experienced that? You're 17; it sucks but you will get over it.
This is a good book for getting over a loss: https://www.amazon.com/Survive-Loss-Love-Peter-McWilliams/dp/0931580439
There is a book called “how to survive the loss of a love”. It is good (helped me over my failed engagement) but it addresses multiple “loss types” jobs, loves, people, pets, etc. easy to read and is available in paperback. Here’s the Amazon link:
I hate to advocate for divorce, I really do, but I think this may be one of those circumstances in which I agree with it.
I don’t want to give you false hope, but prior to marrying my husband, I was done after I had found out that he’d been drinking behind my back (an ongoing issue). I was planning life without him, communicating with family and friends about the best way to leave, and getting everything in order to make it happen. This is why I don’t want to give you false hope: Had he known, nothing my husband would have done would change my mind. Nothing. My decision to stay in the relationship and work on our issues was entirely my call, and it will have to be your husband’s as well because nothing you can do or say will change his mind right now.
I know that really hurts to hear, and I know what you’re going through isn’t easy, but it’s best to let him go (for now). Let him do what he needs to do, and focus on yourself right now. Lean on family, friends, co workers to get you through this, and remember it’s going to be okay.
I strongly recommend this book to help you during this time!
Good therapy - it's good that you're seeing someone, good books ( I heard this one is good https://www.amazon.com/Survive-Loss-Love-Peter-McWilliams/dp/0931580439/ )...
Also, perhaps be light on yourself, and tackle one thing at a time?
There are also some books about emotional eating, and figuring out different ways to deal with bad emotions.
First of all, this book has been my crutch.
I read from it when I'm stuck.
What it says about holidays:
>Sundays are the worst.
>No doubt about it.
>Holidays are the second-worst.
>Saturday nights aren't much fun either.
>The feelings of separation may feel greater three days, three weeks, 6 months and a year after the loss.
>Schedule particularly comforting activities into these periods of time.
Something else you may find useful from this book that I found useful:
> Be with the pain.
>If you're hurting, admit it.
>To feel pain after loss is:
normal
natural
proof that you are alive
a sign that you are able to respond to life's experiences
> Although you may be frightened by it, be with your pain. Feel it. Lean into it. You will not find it bottomless.
>It is an important part of the healing process that you be with the pain, experience the desolation, feel the hurt.
>Don't deny it or cover it or run away from it. Be with it. Hurt for a while.
>See the pain as not hurting, but as healing.

When it happened to me, my sister recommended a book that's like $3 from Amazon "How to Survive the Loss of a Love". Little gems, one per page. Some made me cry, some affirmed that I was getting through, some just confirmed I was normal. It's a process, so it takes time. This guidebook helps.
Resist the urge to virtually stalk. It will get better. 3 months out will be better than 1 month, 6 months better than that. It's been 4 years for me, and the anger just dissolved one day at about 2 years, though I was happy much sooner than that. You will be too.
I just got out of a very serious relationship and I'm completely broken beyond words can describe. I got a book last week called How to survive the loss of a love and read it anytime I feel helpless - I actually gave her my original one when we met for closure yesterday and bought another last night. It's really been helping. I love this girl with everything I've got and things just didn't work out. I feel your pain, things will be ok, the hard part will be over soon. If it was meant to be, it would have been. Pick your head up and be strong, most importantly, never let someone else control how you feel.

Unfortunately there is no magic trick--you have to heal from the loss. I highly recommend a book called How to Survive the Loss of a Love. The basic tenet is that the moment the heart is wounded it begins a process of healing--just have faith in that process, even though it is not predictable or linear like healing from a physical wound.
This book helped me a lot, wish you the best! https://www.amazon.com/Survive-Loss-Love-Peter-McWilliams/dp/0931580439

Have been there. Keep telling us about it if it helps.

Your post reminds me of chapter 9: The Healing Process Has Its Progressions and Regressions
- The process of healing and growth is not the smooth progression many people assume.
- It's more like a lightning bolt, full of ups and downs, progressions and regressions, dramatic leaps and depressing backslides.
- Realize this and know that whether you are "better" or "worse" than yesterday--or five minutes ago--the healing process is under way.
