The most challenging yet common agonizing sensation is heartbreak. Heartbreak seeps into the roots of our emotions, whether it’s due to the breakdown of a romantic relationship, a loss of trust, or unmet expectations. Although the suffering can seem unbearable most of the time, it is often accompanied by crying and fervent prayers to God to take away the pain.
Healing after a heartbreak also presents an opportunity for development, rejuvenation, and a deeper understanding of oneself. Healing really takes time, but then progress can be made with deliberate actions.
The most common heartbreak we all might have experienced is a romantic relationship heartbreak; it’s not just the loss of a partner but also the disconnection of shared dreams, goals, deep talks, and how you were yourself around your partner. Often, it may seem like the pain will never go away. However, you may recover and come out stronger, smarter, and more receptive to love if you take deliberate actions.

STEPS TO MOVE FORWARD
ACCEPTANCE
You need to accept the fact that the relationship has come to an end and not be delusional. Acceptance is the first process to be able to overcome and heal fast. It’s okay if it takes a while! It doesn’t happen overnight, but bouncing back to reality matters.
FEEL YOUR FEELINGS /FEEL THE PAIN
Cry as much as you want, feel the ache; it will only make you feel better. Though we all grieve differently, I can tell you for a fact that crying will only relieve your pain a little, not entirely. Thus, allow yourself to feel the sorrow, think and reflect on what has happened, and take time to also reflect on the part you were wrong. We aren’t all perfect. It gets better with time.
STOP CHECKING THEIR SOCIALS
Even while it might be tempting to contact, text, or look at their social media, doing so just makes things worse. Set limits by blocking, unfollowing, or muting if required. It’s okay to shield your heart from continual reminders and the trauma you have been through. It will only help you heal as fast as possible. While some like to still remain friends with their exes or be on good terms with them, it’s okay if you don’t want to, depending on your relationship with them or what caused the heartbreak.
RECONNECT WITH WHO YOU ARE
Oftentimes we usually lose ourselves during relationships, especially females, by not focusing on things they used to do before, like hobbies and things that make them genuinely happy. Most times this is caused by giving all of yourself in a relationship, whereby you literally live for your partner, and at the end of the day, when the relationship comes to an end, you start regretting the things you did.
Being in a relationship is not bondage; you can do the things you did before. Do not live your life to please another person. Take time to reconnect with who you are, invest in your career, get that job, and start that business. Rebuilding like this will help you in empowering quick recovery. During these trying times, lean on friends and family and talk to them about what’s happening to you, or join a support group where you can openly talk about your situation and feel understood.
FORGIVE AND LET GO
Forgive where you can. Forgive yourself and your ex so you don’t stay tethered to the past. Forgiveness makes your heart feel lighter, and it allows you to move on quickly. Healing doesn’t mean jumping into another relationship; take time to care for your soul and also your body. Take time to envision the kind of partner and relationship you think you deserve
Conclusion
Healing can mess with our emotions, thereby allowing one to linger and still wallow in pain. Thus, see a therapist. Heartbreak can make it seem like the world is falling apart, but it’s not. It’s just the closing of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. Healing isn’t pretty, but one day you’ll look back and realize you didn’t just survive, you grew wings.
