Yes a break up is a difficult thing to deal with, especially if you had been with your ex for a long time. You have developed a relationship you thought was strong and now you find yourself on your own. You may have an empty feeling inside you and your brain is not comprehending things right now.
Although it may seem hard to believe now, you will survive this. You already know many people have been where you are now and gone on with their lives and there will be many more in the future. When you are dealt the hand of having to survive this break up there are a number of things you can do.
The first thing is to get over and past the pain you are feeling. If you try to hold it in and keep it to yourself it will only eat away at you and get worse. Go ahead and grieve, this includes letting go and crying so you can get it out of your system now. Talk to your friends about what has happened; they may not be able to give you good advice but at least having them to listen to you will help heal your pain.
If you and your ex have decided there is no way you will get back together, you need to bring things to a definite close. Make sure each of you gives back each others possessions and you need to remove any sign of him from your home. Keeping his stuff in your house will only constantly remind you of him.
Don't be afraid to talk to friends and family for support. Get out of the house and enjoy yourself so you take your mind off things. If you date don't take anything serious just yet, give yourself time to clear your last relationship from yourself first
