Hello Mylotters,
One way or another, we have had our heart broken. Some have easy time to move on, some takes time or even forever to get over the pain.
With your own experience, how did you rise again after the most heartbreaking situation you had? (I am not doing okay with this thing and I would be happy to hear any positive way to do so).

I'm done with that. I think you need a vacation to unwind and meditate. Then after keep yourself busy and keep him off your mind. Refrain from thinking of him. Think of the unhappy days when you were with him, when he hurt you the most. You will thank God it's over.

Getting over a heartbreak is never easy. It takes time to heal. I don't even know why I cried when the guy I was living with and I broke up. He was a jerk, drank amongst othr things. I cried for about a week when I would think about the good times we ha verses the bad. I told myself i would date but nt get into a relationship with anyone else for about a year to find myself instead of being co-dependant on someone else. i started searching out the dating sites just to see what was out there. In matter of time I got over my b-friend.

Well, I experience to be broken hearted before. Even if that is a painful situation. I still insert to my mind that someday I can find the person to love me as I am.
What I did to forget that particular situation. I involved to find something profitable. Like looking for something online that I can focus myself and don't think the painful situation...
When I was in front of my computer and give a comment like this. I forget what is happening to me. Right, now I am free for whatever feelings that hurt me. I am doing this to make me free from pain...
We should not think that love is the easy part but treat is as biggest challenge in our life...

I didn't dwell on the happy moments i had with him. I dwelt on the bad traits he have and the bad things he has done to me.

To cope with heartbroken,i would choose to travel to another city. And it really works(maybe for me).If i keeping thinking and keeping thinking all the way,i think i would never get over it.Try to be not sensitive. And anyway,it really takes time.This is the best medicine.

Letting go is never easy..especially if the person you have to let go is the person you loved and cared so much.. after all the hardships and efforts you have done just to save the "Love" you both have, it will just all go away, like it didn't come and happen....

Keep yourself preoccupied with other things, divert your attention. One day you'll realize that you are already okay :)

The best way to mend a broken heart is to get busy. Get your mind off to the things that have reminders of the love that hurts you. Get your hands busy. Do crafts, do anything that would get your focus and attention. Gt out, play around and talk with people that do not know that someone who have hurt you. Make yourself visible and prettified yourself. Make yourself feel good!

Acceptance, forgiveness and moving-on. Accept that maybe it wasn’t meant to be and maybe someone better would come along. Forgiveness..hmmm, easily said than done. But give yourself some time. It takes a while to forgive and forget. Move on girl! When I was dump, I realize I only have 2 choices, mope, cry and have wrinkles or get my life back. I chose the latter. Funny but true, there is something about the parlor that’s just so comforting. I had a perm and dyed by hair. I’ve never been more beautiful after a break up. I did go out with my friends and kept myself busy. It didn’t last long until I met the man who would become my husband. Life is so beautiful to dwell on sad things.

First... cry your eyes out.
it's better that way so that you could move onwards.
it's bad to bottle up feelings so before you could start over it's better to let go of such emotions. Then, although it's very difficult and painful you could always find things to be busy with. the busier you are the more unlikely it is that you'll remember it. it's a matter of time and determination i guess.
because eventhough given the time if you yourself won't let go then you'll never heal.

Hey there ...:)
I know It must have been hard for you , you might have even thought that forgetting might be impossible , but that thought is just for time being , have patience nothing but the time itself heals all the burns .
But you'll have to take efforts , First thing is to be STRONG , and do not think about you as a miserable person . Spend time with friends and family , If possible go out for a vacation and remember to remove all the memories of the person , since he is nothing but the PAST in your life and past has got nothing to do with yuor present or future . Consider it as a mistake and just move on !!! .
And do share your feelings with your close ones , sure it will help you a lot !!!
LIFE IS TOO SHORT ,SO JUST MOVE ON !!! ..:)
god bless ! ..:)

is there really an easy way to heal a broken heart? i had my heart broken, sure. getting over the hurt and pain is really not an easy feat. my world turned upside down in an instant. dreams were shattered, hope was gone.
i remembered laughing but not really laughing. the hurt was unbearable. it's true that time heals everything but it is also good if you have a support system. friends and family that can help you get over the pain.
it took me a while to let all the pain and bitterness (yes, i did get bitter) go. i started going out with friends. watching movies or just simply hanging out with them. i started to have an even stronger bond with my family.
but most importantly, i learned to love myself more. by doing that, the rest comes easy.

I know that you are feeling bad with what has happened, but it is normal for a person to feel depress after a break-up. This feeling will actually help you to rise up again, just deal with it positively. Talk to your friends or your family if you can, discussing it will also ease the pain. After all the crying, get back on your feet and have a normal life again. Meet new friends and start a new activity.

Hi the greenestpasture! =)
I have a weird way of dealing with heartbreak. I wallow in my loneliness. I give myself time to really be lonely about the heartbreak, and accept the fact that I really love the guy and it really hurts to be alone. I think acceptance is one way to start moving on with your life.
I try to play sad love songs of heartbreak and cry myself until I'm tired. I also pray a lot to talk to HIM. I ask him to help ease my broken heart and confirm my faith that if my ex is not the guy for me, I'm sure HE will send me someone better and who will lvoe me the way I deserved to be loved.

I think its okey to cry from time to time because we need to let go of the pain inside us....but don't dwell too much on it. It's easier said than done but if you've done it, it's such a great feeling. Don't ever take all the faults because by doing this, you can never move on....By the way, its his lost not yours
