How do you mend a broken heart?

I should mention, I'm 37 (but look 36).

I already tried drink and tranquilizers.

I'm looking for inspirational and life affirming advice....

Update:

Debora - I was being ironic. As it goes, people guess my age at 28-30. It wasn't meant to be a competition. Thanks for the answer, though.

    Aww. Dear, love is complicated. Just remember someone, somewhere loves you. That life will always get better, and we will always experience road bumps. A broken heart takes time. What you can do now is just distract yourself, watch a movie, spend time with friends, vent if you need to. Just try not to think to heavily on it. I know it sucks, but it will get better over time. Just think of something else, okay? Good Luck dear.

    I have to ask...why did you mention you are 37 but look 36? 1 year, really? I'm 37 and told that I don't even look 30, a fact I am proud of. Thanks mom for good genes. Now for your question- time and not being bitter. Focus on the good times, the lessons you learned the way you've grown because they will all be there long after the pain and the relationship have faded.

    I can think of younger days when living for my life

    Was everything a man could want to do.

    I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

    And how can you mend a broken heart?

    How can you stop the rain from falling down?

    How can you stop the sun from shining?

    What makes the world go round?

    How can you mend a this broken man?

    How can a loser ever win?

    Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

    I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees

    And misty memories of days gone by

    We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

    And how can you mend a broken heart?

    How can you stop the rain from falling down?

    How can you stop the sun from shining?

    What makes the world go round?

    How can you mend this broken man?

    How can a loser ever win?

    Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

    [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bee+gees/how+can+you+...

    Song sung blue, everybody knows one

    Song sung blue, every garden grows one

    Me and you are subject to

    The blues now and then

    But when you take the blues

    And make a song

    You sing 'em out again

    You sing 'em out again

    Song sung blue, weeping like a willow

    Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow

    Funny thing,

    But you can sing it with a cry in your voice

    And before you know it get to feeling good

    You simply got no choice

    Me and you are subject to

    The blues now and then

    But when you take the blues

    And make a song

    You sing 'em out again

    Song sung blue, weeping like a willow

    Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow

    Funny thing,

    But you can sing it with a cry in your voice

    And before you know it start to feeling good

    You simply got no choice

    Unfortunately you can't really its always there in the back of your mind; drink and tranquilizers will just keep your mind of it but do no good for your health; stick with your friends; and I am sure you will find another person soon who you love more and will fix it.

    You can't fix your heart, unless you find the other half of it, your soul mate. The more you mope, the less time you have to look for him or her.
