    My ex and I had been apart for almost 13 years, and although our marriage was unhappy and ended with some ugliness we were able to reach a truce and become decent friends again, which meant the world to me. We never developed a close friendship but we considered each other family, and when I went through some difficult times in later years my ex was almost always willing to provide emotional or financial support. I grew to care deeply about him as someone I'd always be connected with and was truly happy when he found a relationship with a woman who ended up being his partner for about 6 years until he died. I was heartbroken for her as well as my son and stepdaughter (my ex's daughter from his first marriage), but I was also surprised by the depth of grief I felt personally over his passing. It's been about 2 months now and I'm just starting to feel like life is sort of normal again, but I also cry my eyes out and find it hard to accept that he's truly gone.
