Omg it’s so hard! Worst heartbreak ever. I moved to new city… he had also moved to another city. He is still dating the same girl and it’s been 1.5 years. I tried everything except rebounding to move on and nothing really fixed it entirely. Some things helped but he still took up so much of mind and this was 6 months into no contact. After I moved 6 months into no contact (i moved because i had way to many memories w him in that city) I was still crying but eventually I met someone new in this new city and o let go… it’s been officially a little over a year now w no contact. I won’t say I’m 100% healed. I still think about him but each day i made a bit of progress… sometimes it just hurts and over time i allowed myself to feel the pain but carried on w my life. I kinda figured at this point it would always bother me but as long as i was taking steps forward to become a better human in all aspect of my life i was still ok and doing good
Now im dating an incredible man who treats me right and we are so healthy (something my ex I were never) I tried to take all the things I learned from my ex and not repeat them w my new guy.
All of this is to say who knows if you ever truly heal and forget about an ex but little steps forward help.
Also stay no contact!! I wanted to reach out so many times and I almost did a few days ago for his birthday but I didn’t. In the end, he had moved on w a new girl. I remember our last call and feeling so dumb for wanting to make something work with someone who clearly had let go. I honestly have to remind myself of those feelings still to not reach out…. I just remind myself I deserve so much more. The ball is in his court. He let go. If he wanted to make it work he would have to reach out.
Personally I have found it very difficult to move on until I meet someone new who I have a connection with. I did meet someone, and it helped to know it was possible to have feelings for someone different. Nothing has come of the new situation because of distance, but it was still encouraging. Other than that I haven’t been able to let go of the person, despite my best efforts. Currently I have accepted that I can’t force it, because forcing myself to date when my heart just isn’t in it is making me feel worse.

I listen to Mathew Hussey and Jillian on Love on a regular basis.
Definitely work with a therapist or coach! But it also needs to be part of a daily practice to work on yourself. I set aside 30 minutes a day for self development and this comes in a variety of ways for me- listening to relationship podcasts, reading self development books, etc.
Someone to take your mind of him or her !!!
See a therapist who specializes in relationships, someone whose license is in marriage and family therapy would be the best. I don’t recommend seeing a life/relationship coach. Since coach is not a protected title, anyone can claim to be a coach, and clients have few legal rights and protections if anything goes wrong.
