When you have invested so much in a relationship and then all of a sudden it ends.  It can be really traumatic to get over it.  Sometimes you can’t get over it and pine forever a la Miss Havisham of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectation.  Miss Havisham was jilted on her wedding day.  She was so traumatised that she decided to wear her wedding dress for the rest of her life.

But that is an extreme.  You can get over a break-up.  Just give it time or read through some quotes from the famous and the infamous. 🙂

To weep is to make less the depth of grief.
~William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth

Shakespeare aptly advised to cry and cry and let it all out to get over the grief. Cry as much as you want. It did help me tremendously when I was as my lowest ebb. Another good thing I found out about crying was that it made me lose weight! yey

Ovid has also this to say, It is some relief to weep; grief is satisfied and carried off by tears.
