Sometimes things go wrong in an inherently dangerous sport like snowboarding, what you have to remember while you heal is all the sunny days, stupid jokes on the lift, waking up early for a powder day, eyeballing a carpet of untouched cord, white washing your friends and all the other good things that kept you buying lift tickets and praying for snow in the fall. What you need to do is get back out on the hill as soon as possible, don't let the summer go by with that voice in the back of your head saying "I wonder if I should even bother snowboarding again"...trust me I speak from experiance.

Rode a freeride deck at Mt. Sunapee in NH...because I wasn't gonna go through the summer with that voice in the back of my head saying "I wonder if I should even bother snowboarding again"
Take care.
