Stay alone for a year or so.  In the meantime, find a new hobby, (not a new person), try something new (not a new person), learn to be on your own (not with a new person).  The agony will soon start to fade but will last a lot longer if you jump into another relationship, right away.  You are very likely, if you do that, to repeat the same mistake and end up with a person, just like the last.

I was hoping there would be a magic answer here.  There isn't.
If you initiate the breakup, you've probably moved on already. You are indifferent.
If you got broken, it takes TIME to fix.  Going through the stages of grief are inevitable; how long it takes is unique for each breakup.   After that time has passed, you are ready to welcome someone else into your life.  If you took up crocheting or skydiving during the interim, cool.

Keep yourself busy, allow yourself to mourn, grow, learn and experience new adventures. 

One day you will be doing something like driving to work and something will strike you as funny or very interesting and then you will know the pain has gone away.

For some reason when you see someone else you're really attracted to, you tend to forget about that other son of an angel.

Throw yourself into your work for awhile, change your regular habits (like going to the same places you used to etc) join a gym or take up a new and challenging interest, something that takes your interest and stops you dwelling on the past, be entirely selfish and enjoy doing what you want, when you want . Decide to be happy, difficult but not impossible, good luck and I wish you all  the best
