Coping up from heart break

Being brokenhearted, is something that happens to all of us. I am now on that stage where I'm badly missing that person. We've been with each other for so long that a day without communication is just so hard. This is the hardest part of separation. The longing is just so unbearable. How do you cope with heartbreak? When you badly missing the person, but you know that to be with each other again is no longer an option?

I have been there before it is tough but, you just have to be strong and try and move on. trust me there were days i didnt think i would get through but, you just have to let time take its toll and talk to lots of friends it helps to keep your mind away from him.

Thank you for your thoughts, I really appreciate them. We had been on and off before. Base on my previous experience, I truly don't know if "time heals all wounds" would apply to me also. It's just that, I love this person so much, and I'm finding it really hard to move on. We did share a lot of good memories, and now I think I've also lost one of my dearest friend.

Yeah, i know what you mean its hard. My ex i was with for a while and i felt the same way when he left me, he moved across the states 3000 miles away and we stayed together 9 months while he was out there and 3 more i would have been moving there myself but, i guess he couldn't wait that long. were together a year an a half in total. But, we were both young so i guess it wasn't meant to last.

There's no easy way out. It's just a process you have to go through. Cry if you must, lots and lots of tears. No short-cut. But after you cry your eyes out, make sure you will yourself to live again. Life is beautiful to have your life wasted on one relationship. There's so much to do, not just fall in love. People come and go, but we only have one self. Love is fickle. No feelings ever stay the same when not reciprocated. Yes, you may say this is not true in your case, but believe me, you have the tools to overcome it and survive.

Hello seiya87, You didn't tell us the reason of the break up. You mention "heart break" which tells me that you are hurt and struggling with perhaps something wrongful your ex-significant other has done to you. If that's the case I'd say to try and block all the communication you have with this person (blocking E-mails, number etc...) if it was mutually don't go a head and communicate neither and try to be friends this will hurt you even more especially when they get in to a new relationship. Imagine you knowing them being in a relationship. Wouldn't that make you feel horrible? Like you said "you know that to be with each other again is no longer an option" and if you can't be with each other why communicate. The key to moving is keeping them away from you block block block. That way the both of you won't be able to contact each other, but first say goodbye to each other and let them know that since you two are broken up and nothing can bring you back together that you just want to say goodbye and want no communication.

I've been through one. It's gonna be 7 months and I think that everything is going well. I am still missing him but I do think I can cope up with my own life without him. The sad part of it is slowly falling in love again and then you realize you and the person isn't also meant to be. It's like being brokenhearted again and again. It's sad to get hurt over and over again.

I always put in my mind that all things are very uncertain especially things related to relationships. I keep in mind that things will just come and go and you should be ready at all times. It is good to put a great amount of sentiment to a particular object or person, but you should also take into considerations the things you might experience if it will be lost.

There is no one answer to this question!!! You have to find the way that works best for you. For me, I remind myself that I deserve somebody who can love me as much as I love them. If they can't offer me their love...I deserve better!!! Yes, it will still be heartbreaking. In place of remembering them as that wonderful person you fell in love with...you might try seeing them as they really are...they don't love you & they don't deserve your devotion!!! as long as you're chasing after them, you are feeding their ego. So STOP trying to be there for them just in case they change their mind. Go on with your life & don't dwell on how unhappy you are. Once you stop dwelling on the "unhappy" you will be able to open your heart to find "happy" again. You are your own person so do NOT let the other person define you!!! For now, just love yourself for a change & forget the jerk who can't love you!!!
