Sounds like you're doing all the right things, and embracing the right attitude. It sure doesn't take the hurt away, but makes it tolerable, and it will slowly get better as time goes by. The softball thing sounds perfect. It's important for us to continually remind ourselves that we can be happy and have a good life without our W. Life goes on. They were not some magic force that made our lives perfect. We regret our past behavior, that hurts. We miss them, that hurts. We're lonely, that hurts. Right now we see them as the key to taking away all that pain, but slowly we take control back and find out we can heal that pain ourselves.
Your W is on her journey, and whereas sometimes it might feel like you're just waiting for her, you are on your own journey now too. Just think how different you feel now compared to a month ago! One month from now will look and feel different from now.
