Obsessing over the healing process doesn't help.
Look ahead , don't try to bury anything, as Lexxie said bottling up is no good. Life is too short to get stuck in pain, or you might regret it bitterly in a few years.
Erasing the past would be awful, the past makes you more tolerant and wiser. If we had everything we wish for, we would be molluscs, no need to improve if you get everything effortlessly.
And remember you haven't lost the holy grail. Humans are limited, lovers sometimes can't cope with each other's expectations. Now what we can do is try to expand our knowledge of life, and get some serenity out of it.

It does. But it takes a very long time sometimes. But it does. Even if it's been decades. I think it heals easier when other things are done.... in addition to crying.

-I'm in favor of crying, if it hurts, cry. It releases your pain a little bit. And it's not good to bottle up feelings.-

About healing There are books on almost every aspect of human sorrow and disgrace: betrayal, parental abuse, infidelity, addictions,dysfunctional families, abandonment, etc.
It sounds too academic but it's best than enduring the pain forever. Sometimes learnng about the problem you had, but from another perspective, makes you re-evaluate the whole event, and you get to have perhaps a bit more of closure, of forgiveness or at least a better undesrstanding about your own experiences.
Additionally, to get over it, you also need to fill your time and your life with things that matter to you. because life continues.
I wish you the best of luck

I guess, a broken heart can somehow be considered a wound that heals with the passage of time. Depending of the size of the wound, the healing process can take quite some time and leave some scars. Sometimes and after a quite long time, these scars can still be seen. And sometimes they are just gone! But the love, care and affection of the family as well as the closest ones are a precious support in the healing process! :-)

I hope that helps you! :-)

It will eventually heal but could take years, I am speaking from experience. There is not a day that goes by when I do not think about that person.

Life has so many colors that human can easily indulge in that. Those people who lost their beloved but still living good life forgeting every pain.

Busy your self meet new people, help deserving and love the existing ones.

I don't know Kinda. I am also like you. I can not remember how many nights, sorrows have become so painful. and I feel clearly that death is better. I cry without sounds.I thought that if my memory would be erasered, it would be better.I am learning what is forgiveness-forgive who hurted and are doing those. I still have hope of being happy and someday all these will be healed. It can be for you and me!

be aware of the stages of loss ie; bargaining,denial etc.. be aware of what you are going through. You always get over these stages but what often happens is that you get addicted/reliant and attached to the loss as the closest connection to the object of that loss...so for this reason it may take longer. Work hard at trying to get over your loss dont just leave it all up to chance ..you hve to work at it ebven though its difficult.Its ok to loose control over this process but remember its you thats experiencing it and you need to take control as and when possible. Also take all the new age books with a heavy pinch of salt some aspects are useful but mostly they are absent of any reality

It depends on what that person has done to you. The hurt will always be there but you have to reach deep in your soul to forgive that person. Once you forgive you should never bring up the incident again. I think if you do that means you really never forgiven that person.

A broken heart, just like all other wounds, heal in time. The time varies though, for different people depending on the conditions but healing would be faster if you help yourself move on, like keeping yourself busy so your mind does not wander off to those memories and avoiding places and discarding things that could remind you of the past. You need all the love and support of your family and friends but only you and you alone will be able to tell how soon the healing will happen.
