It depends on how much that person really meant to you and how much you really loved them.

It certainly depends on the individual. Usually, these things are supposed to take time. But i have seen many, including my friends move on very quickly.
In my case it has been almost 3 years now and I am still struggling and fighting to move on. It is probably one of the reasons for which I am diagnosed with Depression. But still, the intensity of these struggling will get lower as the time passes by. But at the same time it can also be the other way around also.
The mistakes I had done were sticking to the same plans and dreams me and my ex had set in the past while she has moved on. It is always better to have someone to vent about all these and slowly setting new plans and focus areas. It is difficult though. But it is necessary to remember that there is no easy way also. And do not try these so called shortcut ways like moving into another relationship and all real quickly thinking it would help because most times it ends up in another hear break.
These situations can be used favourably also, like to identify the flaws and faults in us or to improve spiritually. And after all realising that they have the freedom to leave you is also important. Letting them go as they wish is the best thing to do for us and them.
And silly things like burning or dumping all the monuments can also be helpful. The fact is it is o painful so I had kept all that all these years but a few days ago may sister pushed me to do all that and helped me with it also. It can be disturbing for sometime but slowly it cools our mind.
The difficult thing will be for those who were so dependent on their ex, like in my case. All I can say to you is find a good listener/friend here in 7 cups to help you with.
And all the best everyone. You are not alone.

You don't get over someone if that person meant everything for you. You just slowly learn how to carry on without them. Hating something you love is painful.

Honestly, sometimes never. Sometimes you can never get over someone despite how hard you try. Love/relationships are complicated.

It took me one year to get over a break-up when I loved the guy.It was a two years relationship and he never once said 'I love you' during that time.

You never really "get over" someone. Feelings don't go away, they evolve. So move along and don't let those feeling get the best of you.

Getting over someone is different for everyone, there is no set time frame. Try to focus on yourself and become the best version of yourself you can possibly be and you will soon see how strong a person you are and that you truly deserve the best in this world.

There is truly no time span at all. I suppose you just accept things as they are and decide to move forward for yourself. Remember you are just as whole now as you were before they entered your life. I've been in your situation before.
