Take a step back, and gaze upon yourself from a distance.

Look at your life. Think about what is wrong with your life, as you are apparently dissatisfied. As you yourself said, she is no longer a part of life. So that directly infers that the problem with what you are viewing is you.

That's not to say that you are a bad person, or even that you have done anything wrong at all. What I said may come across as mean. But you know what? You probably won't get out of this slump without being mean to yourself.

You need some resolve to fix your broken life. You can fight yourself for years saying "It's my fault" or "It's her fault", but that doesn't matter in the slightest. What's done is done.

She's gone, right? So quit worrying about it. For all you know, one of your friends, co-workers, or some stranger passing on the street is the woman of your dreams, but you might miss your opportunity if you don't regain some self-confidence. No, scratch that. You don't miss opportunities, but you do create them.

It obviously wasn't meant to be. Learn from your mistakes and grow stronger.

Call me naively optimistic, but some day you might kick this slump's ass hard enough that you'll look back and say, "That was the best thing that ever happened to me!"

I would wish you good luck, but I know that you can accomplish this without any.
