Hi Shelbyville,

My boyfriend broke up with me a few months ago after six years of being together under very similar circumstances. We both loved each other very much, but things were not moving forward. I just wanted to let you know, things do get better. Not over night, but every week you cry a little less, and eventually, although it may seem impossible now, you’ll suddenly realise it’s been a whole day without crying, and then a whole week. It’ll still feel awful every now and then, even if quite some time has passed. Don’t be afraid of asking too much of your loved ones, you’re going to need them to be able to move forward.

I hope you’re better and you believe me when I say, no one dies of love.

Best of luck
