The breakup was fairly seamless, no infidelity, no awful things, just two people who didn't work out together. She makes great money, has gone on two trips since the breakup (in November), has less expenses than I do...
It's not necessarily the money that I care about...it's the principle. I can't seem to reconcile it in my mind.
Any advice?

Like you said, the principle of it is much more severe than the actual loss. I know people who are as mad over a $20 burn as other people are over hundreds of thousands.
I think the best advice is to not let it effect your future judgment regarding money. People develop a fear of losing money from these sort of things and that fear will turn into losses that amount to several times your initial loss. Be smart but don't let this stop you from enjoying things, investing in things and using money for what it is meant for. There's no other lesson to be learned here other than the obvious, be careful who you loan money to and for what reasons.
Grandpa out.
