Ask QC: First Love and First Breakups

Hey QC,

I fell hard for my first love. We were together for 4 months before I went away to school. After I left for school, our relationship just fell apart. I did all I could to save us, but things were never the same after the initial breakup.

It has been one month since I broke up with him, and now I am really struggling with the loss. I am away from home for the next 4 months and when I return, I plan on trying to rekindle the flame.

Any advice or just encouragement for a broken heart?

Thank you.
