But the most important question is, can we forget the past and move on with our life - can we get up and move forward, and how?
There's really no point in understanding what one particular person is going through after an breakup or divorce, because in most cases it's very much the same as with others: I mean, we all feel that there's just something missing from our lives; that there are some puzzle pieces which do not fit together - and in one way or in another, when we're acting as if there's nothing wrong with us, we're still trapped in that same cage where we're standing still...
How to Heal a Broken Heart?
- The First Rule, "Try not to understand whose fault it was!": This is where most of us make an big mistake when asking ourselves over and over again "Whose fault it really was?; Why this happened?", etc. To be honest, when we're asking ourselves these kinds of questions we're not moving on,- and certainly not letting go of our past; what it really does, is tying things tighter together...
- Instead of trying to understand whose fault it was, try to understand why you are upset!
- Put away the Memories: "Meaning literally that you should put away every single reminder of your beloved one!"
a). Avoid all kinds of smells reminding your beloved one...
b). Get rid of Habits...
c). Ignore Music and Movies you enjoyed together...
