Step 1
There is no easy way to let go of a relationship that you did not want to end. When a relationship ends there is usually one of the persons in the relationship that wanted to end it and on that didn't want the relationship to end. Unfortunately the person not wanting the relationship to end has the hardest time letting go. There are several reasons for this.

Step 2
The first thing to remember is that letting go is not easy to do. Most of the people that had been left still feel that there was something there. Maybe they felt that they could have done something to prevent this from happening. Most of the people that get left or dumped feel that it is their fault. Guilt is hard to overcome but is the first step in order to let the other one go. You must get over the feeling that it was your fault. People change and if the other person was not happy and left then you should find a way to eventually realize that making yourself happy is the most important thing in life.

Step 3
Next thing I would recommend is try to find people to talk to about it. Talking to people you feel comfortable with is a good way to get things off your chest and into the open. If you bottle all these emotions up inside you then will never start on the road to letting go. Talking it out with other is healthy. If you don't have anyone to talk to then go to a church and speak with a preacher or find local support groups. There are support groups for everything.

Step 4
Another step in the road to letting go is to get out. Get out of the house and off that couch and stay active. It is proven that if one sits around all the time then you have no reason to think about anything but what is bothering you. If you are out with friends and doing things that you did before you were with that person then it is more likely that you will be able to keep the breakup off your mind. Keeping yourself active is a very important aspect in the recovery process of letting go.
The process of letting go is hard for most of us to do. Being in a relationship and having the one you love to leave you when you're not ready makes it so hard to let go. There are so many questions often left unanswered. That is why it is good to get off the couch, talk to someone you trust and remember it is not your fault.
