Well i finally went today this morning to the home depot and got another 32 gallon tash bin and made holes on the bottom for draniage ..i filled up the bucket with dirt and as i tranplanted my plant half of the rootes broke...the root ball cracked in half...im so pissed ...and i transplanted it anyways..and gave it some nutrients general organic...and i left it in its new home..my question is will it die .? It looks fine .. but im really worried because thats half its body i killed...i dnt knw wat else i can do other than wat i already did...will i be okay or is it safe to say my plant is a goner..Any advice or suggestions will b very appreciated..

No it wont die in shock yes but it will recover you just root pruned but she will be fine it will take a while for new growth but she will recover just think about how this plant after a branch has been taken off can manage to root itself from a stem.

Why did you transplant? I hope she recovers. If you didn't expose her roots to UV, she may be okay. Make sure she has water but don't overwater. Hold off on nutes for a few days until she perks up.

If you can also try to give her a good foliar watering in the morning.

Just misting the leaves it might be hard for the plant to intake water in the roots since you might have shocked it so misting it water through the leaves so it doesn't dehydrate and you want to do it in the morning so you don't get sun burn from misting in the afternoon sun which is more intense and will burn leaves if stagnant water sits.

I have saved quite a few plants suffering with transplant shock through foliar watering. A couple we were sure would be goners because they lost 90% of their rootballs in the transplant (these were fruit trees). Foliar watering also helps if a plant has been overwatered. It will help the plant get through until it dries out. As soon as it stabilizes, I like to give some N in the foliar spray (I use Miracid 30-10-10) until I see new growth.
