The only way is through, not trying to go around the pain. As for time, that's impossible to say. It depends on many factors-how long the relationship, how "intense" your feelings, how expected the breakup was, even who initiated.
I agree 1000% with imperfect cupcake-this is the perfect time to do those things that you put aside when you were with your partner. It can be big things, like going back to school, or little things. For me, it was playing music I loved but my former partner didn't like.
Attend to your appearance and your health. Exercise, eat well, sleep well.
Happiness is an inside job. You have the choice to create a great life for yourself, whether or not you meet someone else (you probably will). And with a life you love, you're far healthier and attractive to that right person when she shows up.
