The best advice I have is to really try to not take this as a personal failing on your part, or as indicative of your own worth as a person. It's easy to think regretfully and wonder what went wrong and how you might have done things differently, but try to keep that self-reflection productive, i.e. what did you learn that worked for you or didn't in this relationship, and how will those things show up in or help your next relationship? Being heartbroken sucks, and there's no easy fix, but the best way I've found to move forward is to take responsibility for your own happiness. Do the things that make you happy, practice the behaviors you want to see in yourself - don't rely on someone else to fulfill you or make you happy. Listen to all the sad songs today, get to know yourself better tomorrow.
