How do you get through it?

The long distance for our relationship just started. My fiance left 3 weeks ago to start his new job in a new state. In the past 3 years, we've always spent Christmas and New Years together. This will be our first year apart, and I'm really struggling with that idea. Those of you that have been in this situation before, how do you deal? I will be with my family on Christmas, and other friends on New Years, but I know it won't be the same without him

take a deep breath, relax, and remember it doesn't last forever.
that that does not kill you will only make you stronger.
communicate, communicate, communicate! you (unfortunately) no longer have that physical connection so you must MUST communicate everything in words (and if you use skype, in facial expressions) and this communication is the ultimate deciding factor on whether your LDR is pleasant (As pleasant as possible!) or completely miserable.
try to spend as much time with your SO as possible but ALSO HAVE YOUR OWN LIFE! go out, see friends, etc.

I hope everything goes well for you! remember, we're all here for you if you need anything.
