Trying ... well if you can call it that, I guess.

Absolutely not. Otherwise you are just covering up the problem. The shine of a new person wears off and you still have the old wounds.

I think it is time mostly.

Some distractions too, but don't put the burden of being your distraction on another person. Use activities, classes, games, exercise instead.

I am not sure you ever truly forget someone that has had a big impact on your life, for better or worse. You get detached, you get distance. But you never completely forget. Which is as it should be, because we are the product of our experiences.
