15 Ways To Get Over A Broken Heart

Broken Heart

I want to blog on a subject almost every one of us at one time or another will have to face, and that is how to deal with a broken heart. On my radio show, Dawson McAllister Live, the number one topic people want to talk about is how to get over a heartbreak with their boyfriend/girlfriend or how to win back their bf/gf.

15 Practical Steps to Help You Get Over Heartbreak

If you haven't had a broken heart yet, you will someday. Maybe you will be able to go through the dating relationships until you find the right one without getting hurt. But in the end, someday someone might break your heart. Maybe one of your children or someone else in your family. If you have the capacity to love, and I'm sure you do, then you also have the capacity to be hurt. Specifically, let's talk about a broken heart caused by a bf/gf. So, what causes a broken heart?

Your Heart is Broken When...

  • You find out your bf/gf is cheating on you with your best friend.
  • That sick feeling you feel when your bf/gf becomes more and more distant, and you know something is wrong.
  • That frustration and hurt you feel when the fights with your bf/gf become more frequent and more destructive.
  • The lightning bolt shock that takes your breath away when the person you love tells you they don't want to date you anymore.
  • The humiliating feeling that comes over you when you hear the one you love to say, "Let's just be friends."

But the question remains, what can you do to fix or mend a broken heart? While it's hard to define what a broken heart is, everyone knows what it feels like when they have one. This blog series could end up being one of the most meaningful series you have ever read. I hope so because I don't want you to suffer any more pain than you absolutely have to.

If you follow the advice, I will be giving you, I'm convinced you will heal much quicker. Let me prepare you for this series. I'm going to list for you the Top 15 things you can do to help heal a broken heart and next week explain what each one means.

  1. So about 12 years ago I gave her all the love I have, After 6 months she decided to go back to her ex who abused her all the time. I finally met someone 4 months ago. I fell hard in love with her. I gave her everything I had. It took 12 years to do that. She broke up with me yesterday because she says she does not deserve to be loved. How do I stop finding damaged women. Please help.

    1. Look I really get what are you talking about I started dating my male bestfriend and I can't get iver those memories when he told me he loved me I felt like I was special for the frist time in my life and after a 8months of dating we just started to distance.

  2. Having a broken heart isn't always about a relationship with a man or woman. It can be the death of a loved one, a child that has been taken away or the loss of a pet. My heart is broken because of so many losses and something so hurtful I've done to to someone that I can't forgive myself for. I'll never be able to let all that go, I've been trying for 35 years. I have a perpetual broken heart and I will die with it.

    1. Dear you have to forgive yourself and yield totally to God. He alone can heal your pain. You can be victorious.. I don't know you buh I'm praying that God restores all you've lost.

    1. I've been through the adoption process, we couldn't manage the children. We got very little support. It's a long story.
