What would you guys say is the best way to forget someone who made your life bearable and then left?

Are there any works about this particular subject I should seek out?

I will not go into further details because I don't want this thread to become a blog. I'm asking a legitimate question.

Never read anything by Murakami before. Can I go straight to this one?

Don't dwell on it.

Human beings can survive in the most remarkably squalid and deprived conditions if they can only get used to them.

Simply get used to suffering is my advice.

Take a look at What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. And do some running, like couch-to-5k. It's a powerful antidepressant

sure, his books aren't quite related with each other (aside from the same style of narrator as always)

if you want you can read nowergian wood first, which is probably his best work (at least in my opinion... i've even seen people saying incolor tsukuru was a copy paste of nowergian wood)

i'd say, if you want a complete novel, something that explains almost everything, go for nowergian wood (thats something you may not find in tsukuru)

This.

Read the Bhagavad Gita. That should do it.

Been dealing with this for over a year, OP.

Read Mishima's Sea of Fertility. It is the only medicine.

Have you considered peaceful, comfy helium suicide? Put on your favorite music, enjoy your favorite meal one last time, and kick back into a relaxing slumberous rest.

I was young and stupid once and thought this about someone who didn't feel the same way. She left me and I was a wreck for months, constantly thinking we'd get back together somehow and rekindle what we once had.

Long story short it was her that made me forget about her. She was talking to someone at a party we were both at and I overheard her say I never meant anything to her. I didn't care if she was trying to get into that persons pants, or if she really meant it, but that hurt. There and then I decided not to think about her and move on. She obviously had. I did and my life got better for it.
