It burned very hard, very very hard, the spirit, the heart and the belly; because the mourning in love leaves no other choice. But here we are, the former lover, the one who promised you a future together, is no more than a silhouette which gradually recedes into the horizon. A disappearance that no longer matters to you because the balm of time has passed and the wound has healed* . A healing time that researchers from the American University of Mounmouth (yes Mounmouth!) in Wales have tried to measure. To do this, they interviewed 155 people who had just experienced a breakup.
Results ? 71% of respondents who decided to break up or were dumped within six months, deemed they felt better after…11 weeks a little over two and a half months. A period at the end of which they indeed felt a sense of well-being, like a kind of peace reinstalling in them. An observation that obviously does not concern people who have experienced a breakup following a relationship of several years. The study recalls that in these cases, the average period of time is 18 months , a year and a half. A period during which, let's not forget, the pain must be transformed into strength because yes, life will smile on you again.
