MODERATORS
Brains are very good at eventually becoming comfortable with a new normal.
They're also good at being distracted temporarily.
If you can keep yourself busy with positive things (self improvement, cleaning, exercise, cooking), you give your brain space to become accustomed to the new status quo.
Meeting new people is always a good thing to do too, something to keep the social part of your brain from wallowing. Maybe join a local social activity (walking/hiking groups are great).
