Monica, I feel your pain, just know that it takes time. It has been 16 months for me, but I am in another relationship and it has had its ups and down, but we stuck it out and realized that we really love each other. Everyone is different and you will have need met in a different way when you finally meet someone new. On another note, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about my ex wife. She was the best thing that happened to me and tried like hell for almost 3 years to get her back, but at the moment she is staying the course and I am trying to live life as best as I can. There are really very few people that trully understand us as individuals and can help us through the tough times. In my case my gf has done a lot of those things, I don't know what I would have done without her. But nothing is easy including a new relationship, it helps you go day by day and gives you a little bit of hope that someday you will return back to normal. Take care, and be brave. Make sure that your faith is stronger than your fear.
