Dear CB:

I am sorry that you didn’t get to say goodbye to this woman whom you loved so much.

If your very-ex partner did call you to let you know, it wouldn’t have made a difference to the fact that she  indeed passed away, and you (or anyone she knew) were not able to be with her in-person during the last hours and days of her life.

“how can he just walk away and be so cold”- before you can answer the how, you have to accept the fact that he did walk away and that he is cold with you. First understand, thoroughly understand, that he indeed walked away and that (it seems like), he is very unlikely to come back to you.

For now, for today- take it easy. Take a hot bath, and listen to your favorite music, take a walk outside (as you should ever day, as long as it’s safe), and post here anytime.
