I wouldn't say it makes you stupid, sounds like you are a caring man. Grieving a loss whether it's through death or the end of a relationship is never easy. It takes time and like crystal said, dealing with your emotions and being able to let go and move on.

Letting go and moving on doesn't mean you don't care anymore. I think that's where a lot of people who struggle with grief get stuck. The thought of moving on some how feels to you that you no longer care. So you hold on for dear life, and end up miserable, not able to think of anything else. That's a sad place to be in life.

Going through the grieving process, allowing yourself to find closure, sets you free from that and gives you the opportunity to have a fulfilling life, with or without someone new. You still have the memories to look back on, but it's not as painful. You're able to be happy for the other person and know that even though they aren't in your life, they will always have a special place in your heart.

Best wishes to you!

Well said Pisces!
