 I've always heard the same and tried to stick to it.  Although some people heal more quickly than others.  It's hard when there's always something around to remind you of that person.  Music especially for me - any song on the radio that reminded me of an ex always ripped my heart out and I would be driving around with tears in my eyes.  Not the safest scenario!  The hardest breakups for me were when guys made promises they never intended to keep.  But as I've told my friends, "the fastest way to get over someone is to get under someone!"  
Hey, at least I always get a smile out of them with that line!
