Do not bottle up your feelings. Acknowledge them and accept the situation.
Yes, it is perfectly okay to grieve after a relationship has ended. Give yourself time.
Regardless of what people tell you, it is okay to not be okay, at least for some time.
Do not constantly relive the separation reason, it is done and dusted.
Don't attempt to befriend your ex straight away. Wait to get over the pain.
At the same time, if you bump into each other, stay cordial, but stop at that.
Give yourself time and space to get over someone first.
At the end of the day, this too shall pass. Stay patient, and keep up the faith.
Even it was your decision to move on, it was the best.
There is no harm in reaching out for help - friends, family or a professional
