When does it get better

My ex-boyfriend passed away unexpectedly 16 days ago and since we weren't together anymore and our past relationship wasn't always great, many people tell me to "get over it". He was the love of my life and vice-versa, he was an alcoholic, that's why we weren't together. I miss him and I didn't get to say goodbye, I want to feel better and I'm sick of people and their advice, I have no one to talk too since most people don't understand how much I loved him and I shouldn't be so sad about him being gone.

i know how you feel .. everyone has something to say.. but your heart knows..when i was 17 i lost my soul mate and think of him often..give your self the room to cry and be mad. the pain will get better . think of happy times...even the bad times may make you smile someday.. because they were your times

I can't tell you that it gets better, but it does get different.
You have to work through grief minute by minute...and you won't "get over it"in a week or so... let yourself feel whatever comes up...take care of yourself, eat, sleep, do all the things to stay healthy...including crying!!!!!!
come here often, we will all walk beside you and support you along the way.
(((hugs)))

Although he was your ex-boyfriend he was still a part of your life. Have you thought about getting counseling? Also the library has some great books on grief. Just refuse to listen to people that discount your feelings. I'm finding through the loss of my 20 year old son four months ago grief is hard work. The emotions are gutwrenching, the crying feels like it will never stop. You need to go through your feelings. Take care of yourself. Susie

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
