Better Advice For a Broken Heart
The most common advice that is often given is to "get over it" or "move on.
" While the people offering this type of advice probably mean well, it is still an insensitive thing to say to someone who is going through such an emotional event in their lives.
Regardless of the amount of time you spent with your ex, getting over it isn't as easy as people make it out to be.
If it were, no one would suffer from a broken heart.
Leaving on good terms can make heartbreak more painful, however, even if you parted on bad terms, it doesn't make it any easier.
Rather than simply moving on, I suggest dealing with your feelings and letting them subside on their own.
A broken heart is a grieving process.
It needs to be handled on your own terms.
The heartache will not stop overnight.
If that means crying so be it.
If you need to spend time alone, then take the time out for yourself.
A discovery process often takes place when focusing on your emotions.
You may realize that you both were incompatible or that you have lost the love of your life.
You may even realize that you were not ready for a serious relationship.
This is why there is so much more to a broken heart than simply getting over one.
Once The Pain Has Passed Thankfully, the saying "time heals all wounds" holds very true when it comes to broken relationships.
Eventually, your heart will begin to mend.
When you reach this phase, you can now focus on moving on and you won't be forcing it had you tried to get over your break-up too soon.
Moving on can now consist of things like:
- Getting back into the dating scene
- Spending more time with family and friends
- Taking up new hobbies or starting up old ones
Many times former couples end up becoming the best of friends.
Other times, they may even get back together.
Your ex does not have to be your enemy.
Sure there are angry feelings but like any emotion, they will dissolve over time.
Forgiveness helps you more than the person you are forgiving.
There are great possibilities by reaching out and seeking a mutual friendship.
