  I know this is sort of a cop-out, but it really does depend on the 
individuals involved. I think that at least at first, as you stated in your
article, it would be very difficult to suddenly be "just friends" with
someone you had previously been intimate with. At least, it would be for me.
After a while, it would be easier. My recommendation would be to first get
used to living without her before you try to be friends, especially if you
still have some of the warm and/or sexual feelings towards her. It's best
to let those die first before trying to change a romance into a friendship.
