I deal with heartbreak the same way any other respectable American does.....excessive drinking, overeating, use of recreational pot, and driving aggressively.
Try to see the imperfections. This person wasn't a god or goddess. You didn't lose the single most awesome person on earth. When someone is gone we tend to only remember the great things because those are what we miss. But in reality, that person was just a person. Like you.
Half of what you felt for her came from you. That means those feelings can happen again. She didn't magically create them and she can't take them away. YOU own them. YOU have that exact capacity to love, and love again.

Apparently I'm not respectable. Guess I'm glad to know that....
Personally, I just got depressed, then had to get up, shower and go to work if I wanted to maintain a roof over my head and food in my belly. Eventually it went away.

Do you not know a tongue in cheek joke when you see it?
Simply takes time.... It follows a similar path of stages as grief.
I distract the mind by staying busy and focusing on other things while still allowing time to reflect. Sometimes when emotions get the best of me, I write them down and put them aside. Later, I will revisit what I wrote... Digest what was written and rationalize them... Again allowing reflection when the day allows it.
Sometimes personal reflection comes with... excessive drinking, overeating, use of recreational pot, and driving aggressively.... eh.. Distracts too
Or is there a proven way or approach to effectively be able to move on?
You wake up the next morning and put your pants on and go to work.
Next morning... You wake up and put your pants on and go to work.
Morning after that... You wake up and put your pants on and go to work.
And so on and so on. These instructions are easy to follow.
