How do you cope with losing the thing that mattered most in your life?

How do you cope with losing the thing that mattered most in your life? For Lyra, she can't. She lost the pony that meant everything to her. Lyra lost Bon Bon. They were best friends since they were foals. Bon Bon meant so much to Lyra.. she was everything she had.
This is my first attempt at writing a sad story AND writing a third person/pony story. If you hate the story and want to send hate comments and stuff, why would you read this in the first place?
Lyra woke up in bed. Bon Bon was still asleep beside her. Lyra gently pushed Bon Bon's head aside, and quietly went to the bathroom, where she then brushed her mane and teeth, and washed her hooves. Bon Bon was usually the first one awake, but this time, she wasn't. Lyra finished, and sat down on her chair at the kitchen table. She waited patiently for Bon Bon to make breakfast.
As 15 minutes past, Lyra grew impatient. Bon Bon was supposed to be awake by now. Surely she must've heard Lyra in the bathroom? Lyra, curious, walked towards their bedroom, only to find Bon Bon still 'asleep'. Lyra went to Bon Bon's side of the bed.
"Bon Bon, it's time to wake up." Lyra smiled. There was no response. Something wasn't right. "Bon Bon?" Lyra nuzzled her. Still nothing. Lyra grew very worried. "Bon Bon?? Please wake up so I could know you're alright.." Lyra was begging Bon Bon to wake up. When Lyra checked for a pulse, she could feel no heartbeat.
Odd, maybe she was breathing slowly? Lyra put her hoof under Bon Bon's snout. Bon Bon wasn't breathing. Lyra panicked."Bon Bon!? Bon Bon! Please, please wake up!" Lyra's eyes were filled with tears by now, along with her ears flopped back. She couldn't lose Bon Bon, she just couldn't. Bon Bon was the only reason her life meant anything. "BON BON!!!" Lyra put her face on Bon Bon's stomach, crying.
There was a knocking on the door. Lyra was too busy crying to answer, and she didn't even hear it. When Carrot Top opened the door, after hearing somepony crying, she came in and saw Lyra sobbing over Bon Bon. There were barely any deaths in Ponyville, and this was one of the few.
"I'm sorry for what happened to Bon Bon." Princess Twilight Sparkle hugged Lyra. Lyra pushed her back.
"No Twilight! You don't know what it's like to lose someone THIS close! You don't know what it's like to have no parents or anypony close to you!" Lyra walked away. The whole town had attended the funeral, and each and every pony had something to say.
"I can't believe this happened."
"I'm sorry Lyra."
"Poor, poor, poor Bon Bon."
"She never did anything wrong." But all the comments weren't helping. It made Lyra feel even worse. Twilight finally caught up to Lyra.
"W-what do you want!?" Lyra snapped at Twilight, still crying.
"I just want you to know that I'll do everything I can to make it up to y-"
"Forget it Twilight. My life's over." Lyra cut her off, walking home.
Lyra tore down her human posters and trashed all her human books. "UGH! I should've spent more time with her! Stupid humans!!" She didn't need them anymore. The portraits of her and Bon Bon were kept. "Oh Bon Bon.. sorry for what I'm about to do.. Lyra grabbed a rope, making it into a noose. She tied it onto a hook in the ceiling. She stood up on her bed, placing the noose around her neck. She dropped the portrait of her and Bon Bon on the ground, causing it to shatter. Lyra's kicking and flailing stopped.
/Optional\
Days have passed since the deaths of Bon Bon and Lyra. According to what Princess Twilight Sparkle told everypony, she went to check on Lyra, to see how she was doing, and she found her hung from the ceiling.. now years have passed.. the house of the two soulmates were long abandoned. The wallpaper was peeling. Everything was dusty and broken. The last pictures showing them had been salvaged and put between Lyra and Bon Bon's coffins.
"W-what do you want Twilight!? It's not like I can reverse time!" Lyra snapped at Twilight, still crying.
"Wait Lyra, that's a great idea! You can go back in time where Bon Bon was still here! Going back in time has its risks, though I dou-"
"I can!?" Lyra perked up.
"Well, yes, but it's really comp-"
"Anything to get Bon Bon back!"
"WILL YOU JUST LISTEN!?" Lyra winced. "Oh.. I'm sorry for yelling at you Lyra.. I know how much you want her back, but you have to listen to me. It's very complicated. There are many risks, like running into your duplicate self, getting lost in the void, where you'll be stuck FOREVER, AND you could end up in the wrong time era. But in case you DO make it, there's a 50-50 chance fate will change, and Bon Bon would have never di.. been gone. Are you willing to take the risk?"
"Anything for Bon Bon!" Lyra replied confidently.
"Okay Lyra, but I warned you." Twilight readied her time spell. Her horn had a magic purple aura encasing it, and then blasted a purple beam towards Lyra, which trapped Lyra inside a purple bubble, catching her by surprise, then making Lyra dissappear. "Oh, I hope she'll be alright."
Lyra woke up. Bon Bon wasn't there. Lyra checked the kitchen for Bon Bon. There, stood Bon Bon, reading the newspaper at the kitchen table. Lyra gasped, then galloped towards her, hugging her soulmate. "Bon Bon!!"
"What is it?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm just glad you're here. Did I mention how much I love you?"
{Thanks to Twilight, Bon Bon was back. But how should I know if it was real or not.. it could've just been a bad dream.. but if it wasn't a dream.. so yeah, thank you Twilight. I don't know what would've happened to me if you didn't help me when you did.}
