How do you know you've healed?
You stop crying. Yep. There's one indicator.
You stop checking every possible source of communication to see if they have contacted you. Yep, that's another.
You throw away every photo of the two of you together with no regret of what, 'might have been.' That's a good one and really hard to do.
You see them in public and don't break down. You walk up and hug them, hold a good conversation that actually ends in laughter. At no point in this conversation do either of you insult the other in any way. You walk away feeling like you've just spoken to an old friend, not a mortal enemy.
That...is proof that you've healed.
