Getting Over Split Steps of Recovery

By Linda Buechting

Are you getting over break up right now? Do you hurt bad enough that you are feeling like your heart is going to explode? Do you need to see the other person one minute and want to kill them the next? That is all par for the course when you're getting over break up.

Just as there are stages of grief when mourning someone who has diet, there are also steps that must be taken when getting over break up. One woman whose first hubby divorced her said that it was essentially simpler getting over the death of a partner than it was recovering from divorce. That is because there's societal support when someone dies, but you must go about getting over break up on your own.

The first thing you should do is sit down and write a long letter to your ex. Pour out your heart. Share the experiences you had together. Tell him or her why you loved them. Put on paper how you feel about the break up. Call them names. It's okay to emote in this letter because no-one is ever going to see it. That is because you are going to light a candle and burn the letter over the candle's flame. There aren't a lot of rituals that go along with breaking up, but this one can help you on the way to emotional recovery.

Next, you must arrange to arrange to exchange stuff. If you've been in a relationship of any length, you possibly have some things of his at your place and he has got your things at his. You probably want much of this stuff back and she is similarly raring to get theirs. Work out a time for a mutual exchange.

If there are things of your ex's that are not going to be exchanged, either box them up or bin them. Don't leave your ex's toothbrush scattered around the bathroom because it will only remind you think about them as you are trying to go about getting over break up.

It is also a smart idea to box up any gifts your ex gave you for a while. Wearing a watch that your ex gave you think about them each time you check to see what time it is. That is not a good idea when getting over break up.

There are sometimes financial matters that have to be straightened out when getting over a break up. If you owe your ex money, try to either clear it off from your own funds or get another loan to clear it. If you've got a checking account together, work out how you are going to divvy it up and then go to the bank to shut it.

What you should be seeing is a pattern of closing out the parts of your lives that you shared. This is crucial to getting over break up.

After you have done what's required, agree to have no contact for 30 days. This will allow you to begin building separate lives. You shouldn't call, text, email, or meet the other person in this time. You will even desire to agree that some places like a specific bar or a given church "belong" to one party or the other in this month long period.

After you've had time to start building a new life, you may be able to interact more routinely once again. This is a tricky time, so give yourself the space you need in order to go about getting over break up.
