I have Just recently been through a break up also, and even though the pain is fresh, I am finding through faith, me time and a good set of trust worthy friends, that I can talk to, that I am not alone.
Everybody experiences a simular kind of hurt as it is our whole selves we show in a relationship, just be strong, love yourself and if you bump into the guy show him that you've never been happier, believe me it works!

 Remind yourself that, although it hurts right now, you *will* move past it. You will, because that's what you have to do. Everyone experiences this feeling at one time or another, and people don't lie down and expire when their hearts get broken. They grieve, then they very slowly get over it.
So allow yourself to feel the pain, while you resolve not to dwell on it.
Besides reminding yourself that the pain is transitory, keep doing other things. Baby yourself a little. Sleep in on the weekends, cook for yourself if you'd like that, walk the dog, or failing that, walk *other* people's dogs. (There's nothing quite so distracting as the devotion and sheer joy of a happy pet.) Treat yourself to outings you'd like, like movies or weekends away.
Then just give yourself time. No one would expect you to hop out of a hospital bed after a compound fracture, so take your time with heartbreak, too.
Good luck.

 You cannot heal a broken heart simply but you can distract yourself a lot while you recover. Get yourself busy so you are not thinking about the love rat. Exercise is good as endorphins make you feel better generally, but maybe a good holiday or just some pampering time - just spoil yourself.

I found that talking to the one who broke my heart and telling them how much pain they've caused helped a lot too. Suprisingly, spending time with the person helped too, becoming friends and trying to see them in a different light.

 Give yourself time to heal.There isn't a quick or easy solution to mending a broken heart.However there's no pain that we can't get through.You have to believe that and the world is out there!
And when your ready to come out of your dressing gown,go to the sexiest shop, treat yourself and you'll feel fantastic!
