Time heals most of the heart aches.But the scar will be there,everlasting.You can't avoid it.So,for the time being one should try to find love with some other people or concentrate on his career.That way one can forget the ache for a while and at the same time get well to a good position in life.Remember there are more people like you.Everybody have loved and lost and you are not new and so don't think you are the one with a heavy loss.Cheers!

Yes!If it had turn good with all pour best efforts we would have been the happiest person in the globe and we would appreciate our love for ever.It is sad,it didn't happened that way.Was it to mean we are not lucky enough to win her or that loved not is not lucky enough to have us is really a million dollar question and that too will be answered by time alone.Cheers!

agree with that..it will surely heal but the wound will create a scar that would definitely stay forever, and will make us remember that once in our life we have loved so much and the saddest part of it was, we gave our all its just that it didn't turn out that good..

Learn how to let go and it will be easier for you to heal a broken heart. Find something to be busy of so you won't stop thinking of the person who hurt you. Healing may take time but it's you who can heal it soon. Cry once and cry no more after.

Honestly the only cure for a broken heart is time. It doesnt hurt to try to get yout mind on other things to distract from it but time really does make it easier. Hearing someone saying there are other guys or that he wasnt the one wont help either, it just makes it worse. Be there for her to vent and just try to be supportive.

If you truly love someone from the depths of your soul then, there is going to be a small pain and hurting there when you think about him/her. It doesn't go away with time, but you get used to it and it stops hurting so much. Then you start to love life again.We have to know that departing from loved ones whatever the circumstances is a fact of life.When it hurts talk with someone.Cry your heart out.Write your pain in a journal or pen it into a poem.The initial part of the hurt is the hardest.When you get through it,it becomes calmer much easier.It still hurts but it becomes bearable.

being used to it becomes a relief..if someone usually experienced such, then s/he becomes stronger every new love life come..every heartbreak really hurts but experiencing it as usual will give us somehow a relief, because we might get hurt again, but thinking that we have been hurting before will not be that painful compared to the first one..

well, its easy to say to just forget that guy as his not worth of ur tears.. but the truth is its really hard... its alright to cry so just let her be and let her talk and burst out everything. dont tell her shes wrong for loving the guy coz she will only feel more bad since for all people u as her friend supposed to understand her and give her moral support better tell her that maybe his not the right guy yet.. as a friend better invite her to go out.. like out of town to pre-occupied her mind into something than thinking about her ex... personally its also been hard for me when i reached that part... i cried for months even for years before i accepted the fact that theres really no us.. my friends didnt say anything about him... they just listen and let me cry like river... then i voluntary stop coz i just feel pity on myself.. i just concentrated to my job and put my heart into it.. then i meet my bf right now... luckily his he best one as far as i know... and i wish he will be the one..

yeah, i think, understanding her and being on her side to support and listen to her is the best..then wait for the time when she realizes that she already moved on or she is willing to love again (i hope)..

Quite a while ago I experienced a "broken heart" over a guy whom I thought I loved and trusted. He did not deserve that pure love nor trust. He wanted a maid not a wife or lifelong partner. He cheated on me and abused me verbally and sometimes physically. It took a long time for me to realize that I was worth more than to stoop down and be with a selfish bast**d like him. I also found (and I was not looking) a nice guy who treated me with so much more respect and so unselfish that he would give his last dime to me. His heart was gold. It took time for me to heal and it took the kindness of a gentle, sweet guy to make me realize that the ex was not worth my grieving over.

Well only time can heal this, there are nothing much can be done except just to ease the pain and reducing it thats all. After a while or perhaps a long time, you will definitely be alright, but memories will be the poison to cause the pain to be back again and hurt you but not going to be as bad as it used to be.

yeah, memories will serve as a remembrance of what the relationship really was..

We almost have the same answers in just a wink. It is time that can only heals the brokenhearted people. While I was watching TV with this love story plot movie, I noticed that there something we can do to move on easily. It is the fact that we should accept that the relationship is really over or else it would mark us a a rebound girl or rebound men. Being a heartbroken is not a disease, it is a part of being a mature person. Thank you.

in behalf of the pains and all the struggles, i can still manage to be glad that i encountered another break up again... i used to be thankful once i end up my relationship with someone because i feel like i'm much closer to my true love and that would be the person whom i'll choose to marry... just think positive... there are a lot of fishes in the sea...

Broken heart can be healed by time. It's really hard. It undergone sometimes a long process to move on special if you are attached with this person. A person can recover from it when the person have accepted the fact that they can no longer with each other. Giving forgiveness to yourself and to your x boyfriend can help also in your recovery. Actually it is easy to say but really hard to apply. So meanwhile she must just go out with her friends, family. Try to explore the world and herself. You can help your friend by accompany her. Let her feel she's special. Show her that there are still people around her that loves her so much. Talk to her. Be a shoulder to lean on. And just listen to her grieve. I consider it as the biggest help you can give.

correct..there can only be recovery through acceptance..if we accept the fact that there could never be a second chance of that relationship, then, the faster you will be able to heal your heart and be able to move on..

First of all, you should divert him by taking him to some nice place, some friends also can join you. Make him understand that you are his best pals and you are always there in his good and bad. Make him realize how much his parents will worry about him if he is not going to concentrate on his life and future..Make him understand that she was not his best match anyway and there are so many good people around (parents, friends) him that he should not afford to lose.

actually she was a girl..hehe, anyways, you are right..making her feel that she is not left behind, that she has still friends that will help her in every problem she was will certainly give a relief..and taking her to a place where she can enjoy is a good idea..

Hello, it has phappened to me more times that I care to remember. After the last time I got up and decided to not let it get me down. I had to make myself remember he had the problem, I could handle the relationship just fine but he couldn't. I went out with my cousins and tried to have fun. I found out when a person has fun other psople like to be around fun people.I know this because I have been engaged two times and married once and divorced one time.

Well, broken heart, when u love someone from heart and he or she goes away leaving u. It is said that time is a biggest healer, it heals all kinds of wounds. But for now i would suggest that tell ur friend to make himself busy in other works i.e divert his mind.
• Philippines

i certainly agree with that..time is the best healer, and keeping oneself busy is one way of forgetting such wound even for a small span of time..thanks for that comment..

The best remedy for broken heart is time.But the mentallity and attitude of the person whose heart is broken also is a big factor.Being her friend, what you can do is help her spend some time in things which she likes.Distract her as much as possible.Try to keep her engaged in talks as much as you can.Distraction is a temporary relief.But time is the permanent one.
