Broken hearts are inevitable, but that doesn't make them any more bearable. Whether the breakup was mutual or one-sided, losing someone that you thought was special hurts. It just sucks. Personally, I've had one monumental breakup and the heartbreak altered me (for the better, but still, I've changed).
Therefore, surrounding yourself with friends is essential during this tumultuous time as they provide support, love, and give the best of the best mom-advice.

There is someone out there who will treat you the way you deserve to be taken care of, and you will find one another.
Every emotion was and is valid
Every emotion you feel now and every and any feeling you felt during your relationship is and was true. It may not have ended well, but that doesn't mean you didn't have happy moments. No one is denying that.
Stand tall, but cry if you need to
You have everything you need to be confident, but there's nothing wrong with letting your feelings out and having a healthy crying session. Even if the breakup was for the best, it's okay to take your needed time to grieve.
