It's hard to give a definite number to this. You form an emotional connection to someone that ends suddenly. I'd say one day per week you were together, or two months per year. However, no matter how much time really passes, you'll always remember them and have faint reminders. It's normal if, even after you've moved past, you still look back on your memories together fondly.

There is no specific given time. Everyone has their own healing process, as well as the duration it takes to get over it. It's not a rush to see who can get over something quickly. Just makes sure that if you decide to move on and start a new relationship that you are 100% ready for it.

Every person is different. It can also depend on the length of a relationship or if it was healthy or abusive or if children are involved. It is a grieving process and there is no one way to grieve. My spouse and I split after two kids, ten years and abuse. That's been almost 5 years now (3 years of that my kids and I were in domestic violence counseling and divorce counseling) and although I have moved on and dealt with all it, I still have no desire to try another relationship as of yet. I learned a lot and I am more particular about who I let in our life.

There is no one answer to that question. Depends on several factors. Length and level of commitment from both sides. Cause of the breakup, etc. Best to not put a time limit and go at your own pace, with support....

It takes as long as it takes. Breakups are a hard part of life and can take from a couple days to years. It takes however long it takes. There is no number of days it takes to define healing.

It depends honestly. Some people aren't deeply in love and get over it in a day. For me, I still am saddened by knowing my loved one doesn't love me after a month.

It depends how deep in a relationship you are in. Short relationship is usually take days to weeks while long term takes months to sometimes a few years. It is also depending how much you love the person and how deeply in pain you are in. Any circumstance, after a break up; It gives you another chance to focus on yourself and reflecting everything that makes yourself happy without the dependence of anyone or anything.

There is no estimated time to get over. Break Up is a grief process, you have to understand the steps to reckoning your feelings and act to move on. The first step is denial, you can logical understand the end, but at the same time not believe. Second step is anger. It´s normal to feel anger for the person responsible to end the relationship, but it´s very important to not take any harmful actions, to other persons and yourself. Third is bargain, you may want to contact your ex, thinking about changing and do something to react the relationship. Fourth step is depression, after understand that the relation is over depression often occurs. If the symptoms is too harsh, seek for professional help may be necessary. 5 step is acceptance it´s the final stage and when you reach this you will be over the break up. The time necessary for this is individual, but the steps are generally the same.

Unfortunately, there isn't a definite answer to that question. How long it takes to get over a break up can vary depending on many different things. Everyone is different. For some people, it's relatively easy to brush off a breakup and they don't have a hard time moving on. For others, it can take a really long time because losing someone that close to you is really devastating and takes a toll on someone. Some people are in the middle. As well as that, how we chose to cope with the break up can affect how long it takes for us to get over it. It really just varies and there's no way to tell how long it will take.

It honestly depends on how you cope with it. It can be hard given that most of the world is in isolation, so you can't be with people in person who can help you through it. If you can, actually reach out to friends and relatives who can talk to you. Decide if you want to be distracted or if you want to have a heart to heart about what you're going through. You don't always have to want to talk about it to get through it. Sometimes you need some time to just think about anything else, and that's okay. :)
