Having never actually taken the first step to heartbrake (or love, for that matter) I can hardly claim to be experienced in this field. However, I have run the simulations, and may now confidently suggest:
Don't mope. Moping is bad. It will take longer to move on if you linger over something that cannot return, and you will lose weeks off your life being depressed and needy.
Don't bottle up your feelings. We are all told that keeping emotions inside is unhealthy, and it is. Cry if you have to. (Not that I'm suggesting Slig_Cake ever cries, more like... punching the wall, all manly and angry like)
It is hard, and it seems like this feeling will last forever, but it won't. You will always remember the relationship and its highs and lows, but it will not hurt forever. Guarantee.
Move on. That is all you can do. But do it in your own time, and if you don't feel ready to start up another relationship, then don't. Getting involved with someone prematurely, on the rebound, or even as "revenge" is not fair on the person you do it with, and will only open up wounds that have not healed yet.
Well, that's my advice. But what do I know? I have the emotional develpment of a gnat.
