After a year of friendship we had feelings for each other and started a secret sexual relationship. Now we are both mothers she's been married and divorced and we are closer and deeper in love now then we've ever been but we can't be together. How can I keep a friendship with her and be ok with and watch her be with someone else? How can I get over her and still remain bestfriends?

You said she's been married and divorced and that you both are mothers. It would seem that she and you have moved on but are holding on to the fact that you two were friends for 13 years. You have to either jump back into the platonic friendship or let her go. You stated you two can't be together so you can watch her as your best bud live her life the way she chooses or choose not to be friends at all.

You could start by setting up boundries in your relationship.
Before that, you need to decide if you can make this sacrifice for her and still maintain friendly contact, or if even friendly contact is too much pain for you to bear.
