How Long it Takes To Forget Someone

Psychology says it takes 15 months and 27 days to forget someone who you love with all your heart.

That’s because love isn’t just a passing emotion—it’s a deep, emotional bond built through shared moments, trust, laughter, vulnerability, and countless memories that become part of your identity. When you give someone your heart, they occupy a space in your life that isn’t easily replaced. They’re woven into your daily habits, the songs you listen to, the places you go, and even the way you think.

When that person is gone, you don’t just lose them—you lose the version of yourself that existed with them. The healing process is rarely quick. It’s a slow, often painful journey of untangling your emotions, detaching from the hope of what could have been, and facing the emptiness they’ve left behind. Some days you’ll miss them so much it physically aches; other days, you’ll surprise yourself with how far you’ve come.

Those 15 months and 27 days aren’t just about forgetting—they’re about relearning who you are without them. It’s about finding new routines, meeting new people, and discovering joy in things that have nothing to do with your past. And one day, without even realizing it, you’ll wake up and they won’t be the first thought in your mind. You’ll feel lighter, freer, and more yourself than you have in a long time.

Because time doesn’t just make you forget—it teaches you to heal, to grow, and to love again.
