10 Ways to Survive a Breakup

Write in a journal or diary every night. Write good or bad things about your ex because it is a good coping method.
“The act of writing gives you the freedom and the space to say whatever you want," she says. "Say everything you have to say. Then store your journal in a special box, or burn or bury the box.”
"Do not send your journal to your ex! This is a symbolic release of letting go of that person. If you're not quite ready to release this person from your life, simply store the box and let go of it in some fashion when you're ready."
