    Sit quietly and let it hurt.

    There's just no substitute for taking your pain "like a man", even if you're a woman :) Breathing, relaxing as much as possible, crying if you have to cry, letting the natural process take it's course without resistance or "trying to overcome it".

    Most of us have at least heard of the "process" of grieving, which progresses through well-studied stages to resolution and healing, if all goes well. Something like that happens in any other kind of loss as well, such as a breakup. Trying to rush it or resist it or pretend it doesn't hurt, etc. are all bad ideas.

    Life is SUPPOSED to be painful sometimes. That is not a mistake, and it's not the universe being unfair. That's part of how we become ourselves.

    "This too shall pass."
    First you take a few deep breaths, acknowledge the hurt, accept it & surrender & then your pain becomes a sacred place between two souls. I'm always reminded of this quote. It works here: "This too shall pass."

    I cry. I cry and cry, but I HAVE to distract myself in order to not get TOO sad - running heavily helps a LOT. Good luck!

    Just stay busy, and try not to think about it. It'll fade over time.

    I try to get outside of myself. I can't just sit there, I think I would just feel like dying then. So I'd go do things for others. I'd help a friend, or do volunteer work. I'd help out at a local charity, run errands for others, assist someone with their next big project. Activity and thinking and doing for others takes the emphasis on ourselves so some of the healing can take place already before we have to be quiet with ourselves.

    My previous habit was to drink lots of beer, but it only makes you feel rubbish in the morning and nothing's changed. Probably good that I realised that at a young age :) Cry, watch a few good movies, chocolate. It's not just for girls, as a guy, i found that those things helped really well :)

    That's not me at all!! I'm totally comfortable in my own skin. I'm very self suficent, motivated, a people person with a great personality. It's only when I fall deeply in love that I feel this way. I got some good advice from my ex wife" Have confidence in the relationship and know that you can't controll it. Let it go and be yourself. But myself, being divorced for 9 years, dated alot of women, hasn't been in love for a long time. We are completly right for each other and love each other dearly it's just when the slightest change takes in the relationship that I think it's the beginning of the end. Because I have seen it two times before

    Remember the words "this to shall pass" and "time heals all wounds " because they are true, also that you are not alone.

    I cry. Crying is a good stress relief.
    Afterwards...I treat myself.
    I do something for me because I'm worth it :)

    I really do not like when my heart hurts because in most cases i develop hatred...so if it does happen i would go somewhere alone to CRY. Having heart ache makes you do and say things you did not know you were capable of so sometimes it is best to be by yourself for a little while.

    Every pain makes you grow (psychologically). So you just have to be thankful about the pain because it will make you stronger. A hobby could help to ease the process..

    I'm not sure there's an answer for this one as we all have different ways of dealing with pain,a ll i know is sometimes it just can't be avoided and we have to go through it.
