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. I try to follow those,and I hope someday my heart could be heal,it's really hurts me too much😭😭😭 I don't know where to start again😭😭😭 I'm so down right now.

    1. I feel the same way. I try to have faith that God loves me and I will find someone else. Someone who has family values. I hurt also for my children noing they miss there mom. I try to pray every night an include her in. It's Sims to help the kids. Sorry God bless you

  2. Thanks to dolly......she recommended this link to me. Its so crazy how somebody you love come up with a story like 'am not interested anymore'. I do not wish to open up on my relationship, for its so so weird to start with. This link as actually helped me to get some buzz. Thanks

  3. I dated my Friend's X . He said he likes me and said so many flowery words to me. He even said He loves me and don't leave him for good. So I give him a chance. And when my friend find out, she got mad but says She hope that we will end up together. But the friendship ruin already. But I still chose him over my friend. And now... been dating him for 4 months.. We've been together in good times and hard times... and short comings . I can feel that he likes me too, because he was so caring to me and sweet. But time flies so fast.. there are days that he wont text me and ignore me. Then one day, I ask him "I love you. Do you love me?"
    He said "NO"
    I was so broken.. I DON't know what to do. I know I can move on from him, but I don't know how to start. We have so much memories together. And those memories I really treasure it. And can't easily move on from it. This is my firstime Loving someone.. and it really hurts me so much. I lose my appetite and I feel like my body don't work anymore. I am so heartbroken right now..
    😭😭😭😭

    1. I’m going through the same thing , it was so intense , and I felt so secure and let down all my defenses and fell in love ! I fell like my body is exploding inside , I can’t sleep nor eat , He wants to be friends , he really likes me he says , but he doesn’t love me and he can’t explain why ! At least he’s being nice as he can but I let him know it hurts , but I can’t make him love me !

  4. My wife left me because she says she don’t love me and went with someone else. Taking our two boys with her. I didn’t see it coming and I still love her so much.. I feel so alone and broken hearted. Lost all hope!

    1. My woman, the love of my life, recently left me. I am here because I am devastated. Your story of your wife leaving you and taking the kids made me stop in my tracks. I feel the heartache with you, man.
