... where memories of happier times still linger may sound appealing, but it can only make the heartbreak worse in the long run.Rather, we need to “cleanse” our associations with these places by reclaiming them - make new memories, take other friends, or celebrate an occasion.

Withdrawing from the places

In order to move on, we need to reconnect to who we were before the relationship.Do not let your heartbreak define you. Remember the things you love, and do them. And if they were activities you loved to do together, continue to do them anyway.
