    I’m really sorry. I just had a friend go through the same thing and I was counseling him last night. I will say something similar to you that I did to him:

    It all seems awful right now, but you will get past it. Remember that there are other people in your life who love you even if it’s platonic love. On top of that, I had a good friend who was good looking and friendly, someone people enjoyed being around. He was single for 15 years. He got married in his mid-40s to someone I can tell he will be very happy with.

    There’s always time to find love, even if you’ve lost the love you’ve had before.

    Now granted, I have been married for more than two decades, so feel free to tell me to fuck off with this advice.
