I think it gets easier as you obtain experience. If you deal with a breakup once, the next one is easier. You have a better understanding of what is going to happen, you learn how to better deal with it, etc. However as you get older you don't deal with the same things over and over. You consistently have to deal with new and more tragic things and sometimes by yourself. One of my friend's parents died within a few years of one another. When his mom died, my friend was hurting but alright - he also had his father to lean on and help with the process. When his dad died he was an absolute mess. Even though he had dealt with it once, the next time was far harder on him.
