I don't mean to get all philosophical on you, but this is one of life's unfortunate lessons.  Give her some space for both of your sakes.  You'll approach things a little differently with the next relationship that you're in.  Perhaps you'll be more guarded because you've had your heartbroken before.  Who knows?  I know that it sounds very cliche, but "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."  I have trust in you that you'll bounce back.  You'll go through the gamut of emotions: sorrow, resentment, anger, love, hate, and eventually- understanding and forgiveness.  All of these emotions will lead toward the path of personal healing.  Just remember one thing- Always be true to yourself.  Let no one dictate who you are and what you are.
