I had someone ask me this the other day and you know what? Broken hearts are like every other piece of your body’s anatomy, they heal just the same. Sure, there’s scar tissue, and I have no doubt that the heart takes longer to heal than the rest of your body. But it does heal. Even though sometimes we may fight it.
Recovering from a broken heart isn’t something that happens in the same way as recovering from a 
broken bone however. You can’t put a timespan on it. Everyone heals at different rates and in different ways. Just because you know someone who was over their ex in a couple of months doesn’t mean the same will hold true for you.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a pill you can take to ease the pain while you’re recovering either. The company that manages to invent the remedy that eases the pain of a broken heart will be raking in cash for eternity. How much would you pay for it? I’d sure as hell have given my life savings if I could have been spared the agony of suffering the pain of a broken heart.
There is hope for broken hearted lovers. It’s hard to believe when you’re in the depths of the greatest pain you’ll ever feel. But you only have to look around you to see that recovery is not only possible, it’s a guaranteed certainty.
However, you need to allow the healing process to take place. And that’s where most people fall down. There’s a sense of almost clinging to the pain, afraid to let it go as though that would signal the end of your love for that person, the end of any dreams and hopes you might have of getting back together.
In fact, its just the opposite. true love doesn’t end just because someone hurts you. And it doesn’t matter how much they hurt you. If you could stop loving someone just because it hurt, you’d do it. But don’t think that because you still love someone, that means you can’t allow your heart to heal from the pain they caused.
The human body has remarkable powers of recovery. If you’ve been cheated on, if you’ve been abused, if you’ve been neglected, your heart can overcome what you might think are insurmountable blocks to loving again. But you have to open it up and give it that chance.
I did some damage to the ligaments in one of my feet many years ago and was on crutches for quite a while. I still recall almost coming to blows with my doctor the first time he suggested I put my injured foot fully on the ground after my treatment had ended. I knew how bad it was going to hurt and I was prepared to suffer the frustration of walking with crutches rather than risking that pain. Of course, I had to give in eventually and test out the foot. And it actually had healed without me even realising it. The pain was no longer there, only the fear of it.
So put aside your fears. Let your heart heal and quit loving on crutches.
