How do I let go?

How do I let go of my ex husband who I still love? We've been separated for 2 years now. I honestly thought we would reconcile, I never wanted to separate. This year I was trying to rebuild our connection and it was working, talking every day on the phone, spending time as a family with the kids, going out for lunch or dinner, bike riding, etc. There was some hugging and kissing. I felt we got closer, but not really together. I was feeling unwell a couple of weeks ago, burnout from work and I was being pushy asking him out for dinner, he didnt want to come and I reacted badly. He since blocked me, it's been almost two weeks. I feel like I can't be patient anymore and having hope is making me suffer. How do I let go?
I know i need to have the conversation with him one last time before I can accept it and move on because this whole time I have had hope. But since he blocked me I have felt so hurt. I know he's trying to protect himself from stress, and I know he is battling gambling addiction and is seeking treatment at the moment so I will wait to have the conversation with him when he's finished his course early January. But In the meantime I'm feeling heartbroken again! I already went through depression in 2023. I don't want to go through it again.

E Liza eth my heart feel for you. You know you need to stop the contact. Alas the more you try to contact him even for one last time it will just stress him. You both need space,
I have been in a situation where the relationship was over we both agreed but then I just wanted one last talk. The trouble was instead of a peaceful end he said some home truths to me and I felt so needy.
It is hard to have someone who loved you once just ignoring you.
Do you have a close friend who supports you?

I have one friend who just listens. But I still feel so lonely and isolated. I just want my family back together again. I want more happy times. But I want to share them with him and the kids. I ended up trying to have the talk with him this afternoon. It was bad timing he was sleeping deprived. But I just couldn't wait anymore. I am stuck in this place where I'm frustrated trying to reconnect with him and not getting very far. I want to move forward with him but he's stuck stagnant. I'm stuck too and I just can't let go either. I can't move forward and I can't let go. Help!
I don't think I will ever stop Loving him.
