Any Christian advice on healing from a very painful break up?

It has been a month and my heart hurts everyday. I have never felt about anyone the way I felt about him and it hurts. Although we had our problems, I never would have ended it and he did so I can see maybe he never loved me, but it still hurst so much. Really, it hurts to breathe sometimes, and altough it is not always and it is getting better I don't know what to do or how to stop the hurtAny Christian advice on healing from a very painful break up?
I'm not a Christian, but I will tell you that I know how it feels. I had a girl friend who I thought was the only one for me. That was over 40 years ago. She broke my heart and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. However, I am so glad I did not marry her. In retrospect I know that she would have been very bad for me. It will all make sense some day. I wish I could have seen it then. By the way the longer you dwell on this the more power this guy has over you. You have to put this behind you and move on. You have more important things to do than let him occupy space in your mind.Any Christian advice on healing from a very painful break up?
Melissa, keep yourself busy helping other people. Go to a nursing home and visit, volunteer to serve at a soup kitchen, etc. These are not ';fun'; activities, but the people there need love and attention. Do this at times when you feel you can't stand to be alone. Be sure you get lots of physical exercise. That will release endorphins that will alleviate your depression. If you are a church-goer, join a singles group and go on some outings. Keep a journal and write in it every night. Put your feelings into it. It will help you to get out the anger and hurt. When we can't change a circumstance in our life, we can change the attitude we have toward that circumstance. That way, we gradually overcome it. It's like going through grieving after losing a loved one to death. There are five stages of grief. you will know when you've made progress, because one day you'll look around and say, ';Hey, I haven't thought about _____ for x no. of hours!'; It's a gradual process, but it will eventually happen. Good luck to you.
You are going through the grief of your breakup - especially since he ended it and you didn't, it's going to be hard for awhile.





Here's what I know, God loves you. He understands your pain and He can carry you through this tough time. I'm sorry for your hurt right now - it will get better in time.
Hi Mel,





Just tell yourself that it wil be over because this is the truth. This will not be easy and I pray that God will bring you friends who will encourage and comfort you.





Remember that God has a plan to prosper you and that you are beautifully and wonderfully made.





Love, hugs and kisses,


Steffy
You need to move on. When you start thinking about this person, get busy, do something to take you mind off him. We all have ways to escape: I read. Being hurt doesn't disappear overnight. However, if you don't get on with your own life, the hurt will hurt only you.
Time heals.





Be grateful you found out the truth about him now instead of after marrying him and having children with him.
