You are on the right track now.
I am still not over mine over 2 years later, because it ended due to him screwing up, not due to it taking its natural course with a natural, planned termination.
Both my parents have died since then, and their losses can't compare with the loss of him - and he's still alive.
There is something in the context of your spilling your guts to someone in such a safe and protected environment that causes an attachment that is at the same time artificial (you don't really know them) yet very powerful. It's like a cruel joke - all the conditions lead you to feel something like a powerful love, only it is a love that is doomed and unless handled with the utmost care and ends in the most planned way, can be excruciating. I never had illusions about anything outside his office, and yet I can't get over this attachment either. I live near him, and he works out of the home, and have even had chance sitings of him or the wife which freak me out for days.
I do believe time will help us.
