Cupid's Pulse Article: How to Get Through a Breakup and Heal Your HeartCupid's Pulse Article: How to Get Through a Breakup and Heal Your Heart

We’re excited to welcome Ellen Smoak as a guest post contributor to CupidsPulse.com! In her first video, the author of Breakups Are a Bitch But Getting Through It Doesn’t Have to Be! shares the five stages of getting over a breakup and coaches you through each one.

The fourth stage is sadness and depression — “the hardest stage of all.” Finally, we come to acceptance, a stage we can only reach by going through the previous four stages first.
