So you have been dumped. Welcome to the club! 

You and about a zillion other people. Face it, the average US citizen goes through around five breakups before entering marriage. 

Chances are, if this is your first breakup, there will be many more to follow. I am not suggesting that it is okay to break up with your girlfriend, I am just trying to make clear that breaking up is a fact of life and you will probably be going through a lot more breakups before settling down.

Mourning

Life is like a bed of roses. Full of thorns everywhere. Directly after the breakup, it's okay to feel sad, even to cry. At this point of time, life looks bleak indeed. 

I would suggest giving yourself a mourning period of about 2-3 months to wallow in your depression. Some people take over a year to get over their lost loves. Mope around all day if you want to, but after the 3 months, get on with your life.
