    Not much. You nurse it for a while. And most of the time, our human instinct for adapting to a changing condition kicks in. There is truth to the adage that time heals all wounds. I would add it may not heal it entirely but sufficiently.

    A broken heart is like that. After a while you get used to it. And you’ll probably move on without realising it. And until you get there, distract yourself. Only hardcore introverts benefit from being alone.

    So much for the platitudes. Every case is different. You may realise in time that extra steps are necessary. Like a physical move or a change in profession, etc.
