Dear Kylee:

To have a healthy relationship with a person, both people have to want to be in it. He doesn’t, this is why he broke up with you, correct? If so, it is not a good idea to contact him with the aim of restarting a relationship.

How to make it less difficult, beyond the ways you already practice? Practice more of the same ways that already worked and keep an open mind to new ways. One new way perhaps would be to practice persisting through distress, enduring distress, keep going even though it is hard to do so.

This in itself is an extremely valuable practice that will help you tremendously through life.
