My WAW is very social and has a big support group. I'm more of an introvert and prefer to keep just a few close friends.
WAW was my best friend as well, and when that goes away, you are left feeling very vulnerable and exposed. You're entire way of life and routine is now different. It's almost like being dropped off alone in a foreign country to fend for yourself.
You have to force yourself to establish a new routine. Create new habits so you can get a sense of normalcy.
