It's not a matter of "forgetting her and moving on." It is about finding a place to tuck her away so you can get your life back. One of the things I suggest to my clients is to get a small box an put in it a few things that remind you of her. Then put it out of your sight, where you are unlikely to run into it. (In the attic corner, in the basement, give it to a friend to save, bury it) There is something cathartic, a process of sealing off that part of your life that my clients have found to be helpful.

Think about it.
