Experts have said that it takes about two years to move on from emotional trauma like divorce, or a breakup.
'Bonds' columnist Elizabeth Bernstein revealed in a Wall Street Journal online video segment why the healing process took so long, the Huffington Post reported.
Bernstein said that people have a huge loss, so they have to get over that.
She said that however, restructuring life takes more time.
Bernstein explained that these events take a lot away of their safety net and so much of their structure that restructuring takes a lot of time.
