Just started separation/divorce with my best friend of nearly 20 years. Please tell me this devastation gets better.

After we jointly made the decision to begin separation last week after nearly 20 years together (half our lives), it's been absolute hell for both of us. We have a long and overwhelming journey ahead, have agreed to make this the most amicable split in the history of splits, and share a huge network of friends. Which makes this so much harder.

Does anyone else have experience with this sort of divorce? I'm going to have to rekindle some back burner friendships from college as my wife has been THE friend and rock for me outside of this (major) issue. I don't have many/any friendships I've built without my wife alongside of me also doing so. In retrospect I wish we'd both kept some separate, healthy friendships as adults to make this easier. Whew.

EDIT: I am already seeing a therapist and will continue to do so. She's awesome.
