My girlfriend of 8 months broke up with me yesterday by text but I went to see her to finish it in person, she says she still loves me and wants to continue to be her best friend, as we are/were really close. I don't know what to do, she said to me I still want you in my life but for now it is goodbye. I think she is having a rough time as she has final exams ongoing at the moment, she said I was being to clingy but I justified this by reminding her my mum is in hospital seriously ill and I just needed her to be with me and help me through it but she continued with her decision. She said I was the best boyfriend a girl could have,and her friends were always saying to her how lucky she is to have me as I am good to her and I'm not afraid to show I love her, and I was always there for her when she needed me to be. I don't know what to do like should I leave her alone completely or try and maintain contact? I'm having quite a distressing time as you can probably tell and I am feeling very low. Currently I've not spoke to her since the break up and the last thing she said to me was goodbye. We've been through a lot with each other and I am hoping or feeling she might want me to take her back or that she will miss me, as we have had breaks etc before. I'm positive there is nobody else as she isn't that kin of person. Any ideas or advice on how I can get through this? Do you think she will come back like she has before? I love her so much and I'm heartbroken by this.

Normally, the "lets still be friends" and the "I still love you" is just words to make you feel better about them dumping you.

If she really "loved" you, she would not be breaking up with you.

My guess this means it is over, and she was not expecting you to come in person and

Man that and walk the other way and If she comes back tell her to get on her knees and fix it.
