How to recover from a broken relationship?

Breaking up is never fun. It involves a lot of discomfort, anxiety, stress and self pity. Most often, it is accompanied by pain and hurt. To some people, it may even result to undesirable actions as a result of rejection and the lost of a loved one. It is never easy to move on especially on the first few days, weeks and months. The transition period is the most difficult to tackle as the person goes on with his/her life from being double to single again. There will be a lot of sleepless nights, contemplating, reminiscing and tears shed especially for women trying to figure out where the relationship went wrong and why it ended so badly.

So what exactly should the person do in order to recover from a broken relationship? Here are some ways that can probably help out to make you whole again as person, heal that broken heart and enjoy life once more.
