How to move on after a breakup?

I recently went through a break up with my ex. We were living together and had been dating for the past 4 years. It is really hard for me to move on. I don't really remember life without him. Does anyone have tips on how to move on?

    It'll get better overtime but stay busy by volunteering, working or hanging with family and friends!

    I am very sorry for this loss. This counts as a loss and you need to be able to grieve it.
    Make sure everyday or so you find a positive that reinforces YOU as a person accomplished this!
    There is a book called “you can heal your life” by louise hays,
    Marvelous self help book!
    I found it after grieving over a lost husband. It took a long time to get my bearings after that.
    If anything honey, you are an individual w a great heart!
