12 Survival Break up Quotes for the Very Heartbroken

“It’s Over” are the two most painful words one dreads hearing in a relationship. Whether it was a casual fling or a serious relation spread over the years, whether you were foreseeing it for a long time or it caught you by surprise, a breakup can be devastating in either case. 

The person you loved from the core of your heart has left you for someone else leaving you shattered and heartbroken. You are shedding tears on the outside and there is an empty void on the inside and you don’t know what to do. Your whole world has turned upside down and nothing can make you feel good or happy again. No one else in the world can make you whole again as a part of you has gone forever with your beloved. 

If your heart has been broken, you will not only feel emotionally drained, your body will express the grief in the form of physical symptoms. If you are having nausea, headache, low appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia and you are feeling like you are shattered, you must seek help. Turning to friends and family might help but here are a few survival quotes that will help you through a breakup and get back on your feet. 

Breakup is a bitter part of life and it is more painful if you are the one at the receiving end. Breaking up might be easier if it is to get away from a partner who no longer shares the idea of building a life together but if your partner has left you just for monetary benefits or other material reasons, it will surely leave you devastated. If you have a strong support system, it will take you a couple of weeks or months to get back to life but sometimes you need more than a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes you need to know how other people survived the breakup and what wise people say about breakups and how to deal with them.
Mentioned below are 12 survival break up quotes for him and her. Go through them and see how the words help you heal your wounded soul.

2.    ”The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known to suffer, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” — Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

3.    “Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can't cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It's just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.” ― Cheryl Strayed

6.    “When a dewdrop slides off a leaf and surrenders to gravity, the drop loses its previous identity and joins the vastness of the earth below. It must have trembled before it fell, just on the edge between the known and the unknown.
Sometimes things end, they are finished, they are completing. Whatever it is, they are things that might have helped us to define who we are.
It's time to let go of it, allowing sadness, but not trying to hold on. Something greater is awaiting, dimensions are there to be discovered. We are past the point of no return now, and gravity is doing its work.
Go with it – it represents liberation.”

No matter how strong men look on the outside, the breakup can hit them as hard as it would hit a woman who is emotionally weaker than most men. If you have recently gone through a breakup and looking for ways to cope with the outcomes, these quotes will surely give you comfort and help you get through this difficult phase of life.

8.    “Sometimes we must undergo hardships, breakups, and narcissistic wounds, which shatter the flattering image that we had of ourselves, in order to discover two truths: that we are not who we thought we were; and that the loss of a cherished pleasure is not necessarily the loss of true happiness and well-being.” ~Jean-Yves Leloup

9.    “Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.” – Walter Anderson

11.    “I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken, and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best, than mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I lived.”

12.    “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
