Dealing with loss is tough. When someone you love exits your life whether it be through death or separation you have two choices for coping.
You can choose what a majority of people do and distract yourself using people or pleasure, or you can deal with the hurt and that empty voided feeling directly.
Of course the first option is easier, it feels good now and helps in the moment but it only masks the problem. The second option requires you to reflect and explore those negative emotions which isn't easy but the long-term benefits are so rewarding.
You can't always get those people back, but what you can do is appreciate the good memories you had with them and use what you've learned to make yourself a better person for yourself and everyone around you.
