People will tell you that time will heal your broken heart, that isn't true, unfortunately. The scar remains forever unless you get yourself completely unstuck ... I can help. Once you've done that you'll be able to think more clearly and won't have a scar.
This is a Scientology thing, but doesn't need "faith" or "belief" to make it work.
Get some paper and a pen.
Write this question at the top of the first sheet "Look around here and find something that doesn't remind you of (insert ex's name here)."
Then read the question to yourself and do it. Look around and find something that doesn't remind you of your ex.
This will most likely be very hard to start with (or, it might be easy to start with and then get hard, it'll get easier eventually anyway).
When you find something, write down what it is.
Then do it again, and again, and keep doing it. This may take a while, and you might go through lots of different emotional stages, it can be draining. Keep going. You can take breaks (life happens), maybe do an hour per day, whatever.
You will know when you've finished because your viewpoint will change, you might realise something, and you won't feel the same way about your ex. You'll be unstuck.

I guess it all depends on the situation. That is a tough thing to go through. I myself have had my heart broken a year ago and my heart is still not healed. Just try and take it day by day. The hurt will lift a little bit more each day. The pain may never totally go away, but your heart will eventually mend.

A hobby or something that keeps your mind of the ex-partner can really help to heal a broken heart and get you back to you usual self. close friends and family are the ones you need to talk to about his it really helps, it is not healthy to keep things like this in your own circle. Don't worry it will pass, just look on the good times you shared together and learn from the bad ones. Good luck!

"Every girl with a broken heart is a guy with a gluegun."
Sorry had to put the quote in ^_^
You're heart won't heal, it'll just get used to the fact that theres no way of getting them back. If you mope about it, it'll get you nowhere, what you've got to realise is that when someone breaks your heart, that they're really not worth the effort anymore, they've broken one of the most important feelings and that should be a wake up call to move on.

A broken heart never heals it just hurts less as each day goes by. You will always have a weak spot that can break again. That is why it will never heal

I'm not sure it ever fully heals. Scabs become scars and life goes on regardless of the pain. When YOU feel like becoming involved again (NOT your friends!!) and YOU feel like dating...then you are at the scab. When you see him face to face and he asks how you are and you say "I'm fine" and you mean it (and you don't have that old desire to trip him) then you have a scar. When you see him out with his new wife and new baby and you find a small, however minuscule, part of you wishing him well (not necessarily verbally, but in thought)...then life has gone on. I wish you well and if it's ok, I will keep you in my prayers. Broken hearts suck no matter what. Hugs to you!!

No one can answer that for you...the best thing you can do is get busy living. Concentrate on your studies, or job. Volunteer with a youth group, at your church, at a senior center or with your local community. Work hard, play hard, go back to school, spend time with your family...and pretty soon your heart will heal and you'll be ready for whatever comes next in your life.

The short answer is that it never heals, but a heart that has been broken and repaired ( by your own best efforts and time ) ,is a very handy tool to have with you ,for when you happen to bump into that special person who will become the new love of your life.Very best wishes to you for your future happiness.
