How did you get over losing the love of your life?
How long did it take and how did you cope with the loss? It could be due to a breakup or death.

We're talking about two distinctly different sets of circumstances in your post here.
You're saying it could be due to a relationship breakup or death, neither of which can be compared to each other, nor can a coping mechanism used for one also be applied to the other.
The sadness or depression associated with a relationship breakup is a different brand of 'grief' than what one experiences from a death of someone close, particularly a family member. In fact, a relationship breakup pales in comparison to a death, so both examples that you chose for your question should not have been placed in the same sentence together.
Therefore, you cannot simply ask a blanket question by wanting to know "How did you get over losing the love of your life?" because neither circumstance that you offer in your question is even remotely relevant to the other.
I strongly suggest that you re-write your question with this in mind.
