How can you live without the love of your life?

Answer 1

It's very difficult to live without the love of your life. You feel a longing that never seems to go away.

After the first stage of sadness and grief have swept over you, it might help to review the relationship and take all of the happiness you can into the future:

1. Look at this person as a special gift that was given to you for a period of time to show you what love looks like.

2. Think about the strengths and the insights this person brought to your life.

3. Describe how you came alive as a result of this person's attributes.

4. Be grateful for what you did receive from the friendship. You received a gift. Not everyone has experienced this.

5. If the love of your life has left you to be with someone else, allow him/her freedom. It shows trust and respect.

6. If the love of your life is married, accept it and encourage them to be faithful. Look for similar traits in an available person.

7. Offer the same gift of friendship and love to someone else. The gifts of listening, understanding, support, and caring are truly precious. Pass them on.
