If you haven't experienced the intensity of therapy attachment, you just can't understand it. Until I was in it, I would have said what your friend did.
You can't move on, because you can't. It is as simple and as complicated as that. You need to figure out how to grieve this loss. And I think you are doing that, working on that. Grieving is a process. The ironic thing is that if he had died, everyone would be so much more understanding. Part of grieving is going over the stories again and again. And again, and again and again.
Just becareful who you are sharing with. You don't need people to make you feel worse. On the other hand, don't completely discard friends who can't understand. They just don't have a comparable experience. You will want them again when you get through this.
You will. Give yourself time. We are here to listen too.
Hugs,
Daisy
