In response to "The ex and I spoke on the phone for 2 hours last night, the first contact in a long while." by Hotkiss

if breakups were easy, there would be no sad songs, a lot less literature, and far fewer drastic haircuts.

it's a normal part of the process. and while you fully believe you will never heal (and i know it seems that way), you will. people do. people recover from many worse things (death of a child, spouse, etc). i am not belittling your pain, believe i know it hurts. but you aren't the first or last person to feel this way.

also, remember you have been happy since you broke up - you've had some wonderful great experiences. so, you already KNOW you are capable of being happy again, you'll just have to deal with the moments where it hits you again. the less contact you have (which you sound like you are doing, good for you), the farther apart those pangs will be.
