I need advice!!! I don't know how to tell him!...

Je
How do I tell my friend of 22 years that I am in love with him and always have been!? I just went through a rough breakup 3 weeks ago and miscarriage a couple of weeks ago. So I am working though a lot of pain and heartbreak... 😢 My now ex boyfriend was controlling and had narcasisitic behaviors. He manipulated me to where I'd cut this friend out of my life. He is now back in my life and I have spend time with him twice since my break up. I am coming to terms with my feelings for him. My feelings are intense and run deep for this man. I've had strong feelings for him since 7th grade. I am going to wait awhile because everything is too fresh and I need to heal and get back to my normal self... I though I would never tell him but I have to. I will be 34 next month and he turned 34 in December. Neither of us have children but we both want them badly. Do any of you wonderful women have advice? Please help!
