Gabs,

Its ok to grieve and feel bad for a while but DO NOT let yourself wallow in it. Life is too short and there are far more important things you can and should be doing. Do you have friends that are your friends that you can go out with and talk to? Someone that has been through this will help tremendously. This site and the people on it will help tremendously. Create a list of important things you need to do. Stop wanting and planning on her coming back, do the opposite. The more you mope around, be overly nice and try to convince her to come back the further and faster you will push her away. I know you feel like a huge piece of crap but you have to stand up and put one foot in front of the other. Exercise, the harder the better. It releases serotonin. Sleep 7-8 hours, eat healthy. It will get better. It takes time but the more you fight it the more time it will take. There is nothing you can do right now to make her change her mind. Be strong and dig yourself out of this.
