There is a Buddhist concept which tells us that everything is temporary and when we try to hold on then that is what causes us suffering.

I have had people in my life that I felt I had a deep connection with and then they ghosted me.  It caused me pain, disappointment, resentment and anger.  I realize those are all my interpretations which caused those feelings.

I try to take comfort that we are each are on our own journey and when we do intersect our lives then appreciate those moments for they are fleeting.  Each of us have our own baggage, wounds, values, beliefs which we carry with us.  This sometimes drives our journey.  I don’t expect others to completely understand mine and I don’t pretend to understand theirs.

Acceptance of what is (see Byron Katie’s work on this) is what helps brings acceptance.

Let go and move on.  Easy to say, hard to do.  Sit with your emotions whether grief or disappointment.  Act on taking steps to be happy and live your life.
