The good news is there's now tech-savvy ways (that don't include Facebook stalking) to help you get through a breakup. So say sayonara to the pint of ice cream, blast "We are never ever ever getting back together" on your iPhone as your rally cry and say hello to these apps that will help even the most heartbroken get over it.
