Don’t call him.  Don’t text him.  Don’t write him a snail mail letter.  Don’t hang out by his house just to “bump into him.” Do you want to get over him?  Then you cannot keep on communicating with him, no matter how great the temptation might be “just to hear his voice . . .”  And while we’re on the topic - don’t pester his friends with requests for updates on his status.  All that does is postpone your own recovery.

There are many different things you can do - shout, scream, cry, wail - just as long as you don’t injure yourself. This isn’t the time for politeness or consideration for others’ sensibilities - let it all out!

There’s no limit to the number of things you can take up - gardening and woodworking if you like to stay close to home, or hiking, or learning something new like a language or musical instrument … You can even take a vacation on your own if you care to!
