How?

I was searching for answers.. and then it came to me..

How does one get over something you hold dear?

You don't. If it's meant to be, it'll come back to you sooner or later.

If for some strange reasons it still doesn't return after ages of wait, know that you'll never 'get over' something like that, but it's still going to be okay.

This is because, such event punches a huge hole in your life; and that hole never goes away, so at first you're always falling into it. You try throwing boards across it, but they're unreliable. They break, they rot, they slip, you slip.

Then you try to fill it in; but you can't tell how deep it is, so you can't tell how much life it's going to take to fill it, or where you're going to get it from.

Besides, whatever you throw in it is gone, buried. Your only real alternative is to build more life around the hole.

The more life you build, the smaller a part of your whole life it is, and the easier it is to navigate around it without falling in.
