It depends on how well you know the person, and how close you were to them. Also, the sooner the better of course.

I think it really depends on how much that person meant and still means to you, how many and what kind of memories you have made and on how much you got used to having that person in your life. But either way it does take time and you really must be patient x

Sometimes you don't get over them completely, sometimes the person who is no longer in your life will always be a part of you, but you can learn to grow and move on and eventually that person takes up smaller and smaller amounts of your head space, but they do remain, maybe as a reminder, maybe as a motivator. There is no time limit to growth, you have to accept that everyone moves on and heals at their own pace, but I can promise that one day you will go a whole day without thinking about them...and that's when you know you're ready to move on.

Break-ups are, from a brain chemical stand-point, like death. We grieve the loss of this person in our lives. It can take a day, a month, or 10 years. Just listen to yourself. :)

It depends babe. But please do take as long as you need to start over again. It ain't easy but you'll be able to. Slowly, but surely. :)

there’s a widely accepted way to figure it out: divide the duration of your relationship by two. By that point, your friends and favorite women’s magazines will tell you, you will be OK — whatever that means.

There is no set minimum to get over a meaningful relationship. It takes time and effort to learn from the relationship and grow. In many cases you never stop loving the other person, but you learn to live your life for you over time.

Everybody is different. A process like that cannot be rushed, take as long as you need. Time to focus on yourself is always acceptable

However long you want it to take. You decide what you do to get over someone and how you act upon it

it depends from person to person and I feel usually if you were in too much love with someone you would not get completely over them. Their memories are going to be there once in a while but you will get comfortable or you will accept the fact that now they no more belong to you and you would be ready to find someone else who is a better fit for you. getting over someone needs a lot of determination and understanding that missing is a part of moving on, it does not mean you need them. If we loose anything in our life no matter how small or big it is we cry for it, miss it and then we are fie we find a new alternative. Same goes for this.
