Also im having a very hard time believing in God i was raised to believe in God and that Jesus died on the cross for our sins but its really hard.. i mean i pray and everything still but its still hard for me to believe.. so if you can give me tips on how to deal with this id really appreciate it and sorry its so long..

You dream about good times you had with her and the abrupt end of all those fun things. It is normal.
I am sure she understood your wanting to be with your boyfriend.
