What To If You’re Still In Love With Someone Who Broke Your Heart

The anguish of a broken relationship is something that many individuals go through, perhaps even more than once in their lives.

Yet, the happy endings in movies and books make it appear that it is simple to recover from a shattered heart: either a couple reuniting or someone moving on to a better relationship.

Relationship problems aren’t always handled in two hours like they are on the big screen, and stories don’t always have happy ends.

Platitudes, adages, and cliches are unlikely to be helpful if you’re attempting to come to terms with the loss of a relationship. While individuals may mean well when they say things like “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,” such platitudes don’t provide much in the way of practical counsel for dealing with your feelings.

Everyone’s path to recovery from heartbreak is different. It may even change from one relationship to the next within the same person throughout their life.

Nobody can say how long it will take you to heal with any surety, but there are specific methods to turn the process of repairing a broken heart into an opportunity to learn more about your wants and needs.
