I seem to find a need to put it out there, yet remain anonymous. I was with this person for 19 years we never married, no children. We stuck by each other through thick and thin and he was my best friend. Never any abuse, physical or emotional. He did the best he could for this break up, but I have waves of hurt that come over me that are devastating. I know it's over and will never be again. I guess I'm looking for ways to cope and get on with my life. I don't think there are any groups like Alanon, for heartbreak. I've been to Alanon meetings not for this person, but I know what it's about and know the 12 steps. The fact that someone answered helps a lot and I thank you.
