Mutual Breakup Struggles

I’m one month out from the end of my relationship. We were together 6 months and absolutely fell head over heels for one another. For both of us it was the greatest and deepest romance of our lives. She got a job as an adventure guide at a boarding school in another state and we decided that neither of us would be able to make long distance work. I have been having trouble with letting her go. My heart feels like it has been shattered. I am working on letting go of hope for a future where we are together again. It is the hardest emotional pain I have felt. I know 6 months is not the longest time, but during our time together we traveled, went on adventures and spent every single moment we could together. It was the kind of romance you only dream to have with someone. She wants me to stay apart of her life as a friend and I want her in my life as well. During our time together I let myself hope and believe that we might spend our lives together even as I knew she would be leaving. She is working on growing in her independence now and will be traveling the world for her Job. I am working on bettering myself, feeling my emotions, and following my own passions in life. This is definitely the hardest thing I have ever had to overcome. I wanted to write this out to express my feelings in a safe space. I hope that all of you are working on your own healing and wish you all the best.
