Why Some People get Over Grief Faster than Others and How To Speed Up Grief
Why Some People get Over Grief Faster than Others and How To Speed Up Grief
How long does it really take to recover from a broken heart? Here’s the truth: “Giving it time” is bullshit unless you’re doing the right things.
Most guys think recovery is about time. It’s not. It’s about doing the right work. Waiting isn’t healing. Venting isn’t progress. Listening to soft, pandering advice keeps you stuck. Real growth means moving your ass and rebuilding your life.
The average time men report for heartbreak recovery is around 2 years. But there’s no magic timeline—some heal in 6 months, others in 6 years.
The steps that lead to healing are almost identical for everyone.
The real problem isn’t lack of effort—it’s misdirected effort. Taking the wrong steps. Listening to the wrong people. Doing the wrong things.
A lot of men get stuck talking about their ex instead of building a better life. Anxiety from heartbreak makes you pick comfort over growth, watching breakup videos like junk food for the soul. Constantly venting and “feeling seen” feels good but wires you to stay stuck.
Bad coaches and influencers validate your pain because it sells. They’re chasing views instead of actually helping you grow.
Time alone doesn’t heal anything. Action does.
You don’t “wait” to heal. You use time intentionally—to train, to grow, to rebuild while you grieve.
Real progress is parallel: you can hurt and build at the same time.
Healing is about choosing discomfort and motion, not waiting for feelings to change on their own.
Instead of obsessing about her, focus on you. Develop yourself. Speak your mind. Move on by building the life you want.

I have been stuck in the pain and depression of my divorce! I hate it! Time has made it slightly better, but not healed. I’m post divorce and things haven’t felt safe.
Jimmy, what are you waiting for? I appreciate your comment but this is the exact thing I say you shouldn’t be doing. Maybe that’s why you’re still like this. You haven’t done everything to get over her because to the best of my knowledge, we’ve never spoken. Take control of your life. Begin now!
@@MensdivorcecoachI know it’s not what I should do, not what you are teaching and that it hasn’t brought me lasting peace or happiness.
I have turned into a sensitive scared man! Afraid of life and just surviving.
I have good days and a strong mind, but it never builds and lasts
Grief comes in many forms and there’s no right way to get past any of it outside of day by day. Owning yourself is a start I think. As always, much appreciated.
Good video
Thanks brother. Not sure if you know but this video came to me after I got a FB reel regarding pain. This guy had hundred of thousands of views and what I heard was exactly what a coach shouldn’t be saying. The guy was pandering to other men and realized “this guy isn’t a coach, he’s a content creator and a good one at that”. But he wasn’t a coach. That’s not fair to anyone that’s in trouble because the guy was keeping people stuck. That’s why I created this video.
Starting a drum channel on YouTube and tik tok has helped me out big time! One minor thing has been transformative
I recommend that all the time brother. Love that you suggested that. Join our FB Group, schedule something. Thanks for your comment.
