You can always trust Jane Austin to say it so succinctly. Here are some quotes from her last and darkest novel, Persuasion, from its sensible and quiet heroine, Ann Elliott:
"Once there were no two hearts so open, no feelings so in harmony, but now we are strangers, worse than strangers; it is perpetual estrangement."
"The one claim I shall make for my own sex is that we love longest, when all hope is gone"
"Time is a great healer, or so at least I am told."
