You can probably still be emotionally attached to someone, even if they're not around anymore? I suppose there isn't a point like in they'll join you at going to the bar or help you redo the kitchen... But there are other things in life and we're social creatures. We also like to talk, or just have someone who cares for us. Even more so if you spent some time of your lives together at some point.

I can be, and I would like to be, but it never seems to work out that way… Part of my question is to work out what other people do and what I’m doing wrong.

I'm bad at it, too. So I'm not sure if I'm the correct person giving advice. What I've observed is, successful people just do it. Idk, randomly seek contact every nowand then. Or have a ritual, that seems to help. Make it a habit to call someone for their birthday. Or write some christmas cards. That's the obvious things people do.
