it sounds like you're coping with it normally by developing a case of depression. loss is hard. "extremely divorced" is more destructive, angry, assault-as-a-personality... that sort of thing.
It is an experimental distro, that's what was the original purpose. That's coming from what their website stated toward the beginning of the project. They may not call it that now, but not much has fundamentally changed in arch since that time besides the introduction of systemd.
I'd recommend opensuse tumbleweed. It's still a rolling distribution, it still has more bleeding edge software, but its package manager, zypper, does atomic updates, so if something doesn't install right it rolls it back.
