How do I get past my girlfriend's passing?

My girlfriend died about a month ago and I am a wreck. We were going to move in together later this week, get married next year, and have children shortly after. I love her so very much, and I wish I could take her place.

    Celebrate the gift of knowing her! We are all on a journey and you will someday see her again in heaven. Her spirit is still alive, as we are eternal creatures made by God and he has a purpose and plan for our lives. You could be active in one of her passions in her name. But through the years in life we need to open our hearts in prayer and praise to our Lord and he will lead us daily. Faith is a gift. I pray for you to have faith, sweet friend.

    You should take in some grief counseling so this doesn't ruin the rest of your life. Letting grief fester can lead to physical and mental problems. I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Have you tried talking with a grief counselor? I'm a therapist who did grief counseling, and I would find a therapist who specializes in this; it's completely normal to feel like a wreck and to be in a lot of pain, and they can help you sort through your feelings and everything that comes with this sort of major loss. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope that you are able to find that healing. It certainly takes time and usually a lot of time.

    There is likely a hospice organization in your town. Many of them hold "grief circles" where people who are grieving gather together to share. That's very different than other people who encourage you to buck up and move on. It can be very helpful and supportive to share your grief with others who are also grieving.

    Stop trying to 'get past it'. That's not possible, and grieving after a death is really important. It has to take as long as it takes. Recovery is really slow and is never totally complete, but you will get better in time. You probably don't believe it right now, but in time to come you will fall in love again and that speeds the progress of your recovery. But that doesn't mean you will ever forget, or get over the loss of your love.
