Bounce back

A person or act used or done after a relationship, left by another, to get that person a sense of self esteem before venturing off into other relationships.

bounce back

The raw, relentless act of rebuilding yourself after life has shattered you. It’s staring down the wreckage of your life and then busting your ass every day to rebuild it. It's digging deep. It's going from nowhere to somewhere, powered by your own damn self. The bounce back is when you quit digging the hole and claw your way out of it. It’s the quiet war you wage every day — not for applause, but to prove you never needed them anyway.

Respect the bounce back.
"Despite how bad things got , she was determined to bounce back like her life depended on it. Because it did.
