Many people have different ways of handling break up, same people can handle different break ups in different ways. There are break up that affect one less than others, every break up hurts, every one you have known lives a positive or negative mark.
Some times back I learnt the best way of dealing with my break up was praising God in my heart any time the memory of that person flashed my mind. It has helped me not to hold any negative thoughts, It has helped me to move on, it has helped me to see that any break up is a blessing because it moves you closer to the right next person you should be with, it has also helped me realized that it is also okay to not have a special person at some times and appreciated oneself.
God dwells in the praises of his people so I have learnt to do that in my own way. I do not take hours doing it. I do not do it loud I just do it spiritually.
In addition I also had to listen a lot to Jakes words:

Let it go!!!!!!!!

There are people who walk away from you Let them walk
Don’t talk another person to staying with you
Don’t talk another person into loving you
Don’t talk another person into calling you caring about you, coming to see you

Don’t talk another person into staying with you, a touched to you let it go
When people walk away from you let them walk
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left
People leave you because they are not joined to you and if they not joined to you you can’t make them stay let them go and it doesn’t mean they are bad people it just mean that their part in your story is over and you’ve got to know that when it’s dead let it go
You’ve got to know when it’s over let it go stop begging people to stay. Let them go if you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was never intended for your life then you need to let it go
If you hold on to your past hurts and pains let it go
If someone can’t treat you right, if someone cannot have you back and if someone cannot see your worth let it go.
If someone has angered you let it go. If you holding on something for evil and revenge let it go
If you are involved in wrong relationship or addiction let it go
If you are holding on to a job that does not meet your needs or talents let it go
If you have a bad attitude let it go.
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better let it go
If you struggling with a broken relationship let it go
If you keep trying to help someone who can’t help themselves let it go
If you feeling depressed let it go.
Let the past be the past forget the former things Let it go.

I have shared this because I know at one point or the other in all relationship be they heterosexual or homosexual relationship someone is hurting somewhere and need to let go. Or in future one might need to let go!!!
