How To Heal A Broken Heart

Life can have a way of throwing curve balls. One day you can have the world by the tail, and then all of a sudden, something happens that can have a profound effect to turn your life upside down, leaving you empty and desperately searching for how to heal a broken heart.

Your pain may be due to the breakdown of a marriage, the loss of a loved one, a friend, a pet or even a job. It may be sheer disappointment in something, someone or even yourself. The reason doesn't really matter. The fact is that whatever it may be to upset you has affected you profoundly, yet the same thing may roll off the back of another person.

My broken heart was caused by divorce. It wasn't so much that I "pined" for my ex back, it was just the fact that I felt immense guilt and disappointment. I was heartbroken because I felt that I should have done things differently and I felt responsible that my children were now the products of a broken home. I blamed myself, solely, yet I should not have.

For four years I grieved from the moment I opened my eyes in the morning to going to bed at night. My energy, joy, happiness and zest had disappeared. Hobbies no longer interested me, and I would cry whenever I could sneak a couple of minutes of privacy (in the bathroom, in the shower, doing dishes, you name it!) It took every ounce of energy to get through the day. It was really pathetic and I felt hopeless.

Now I'd like to emphasize that you DO need to allow yourself some time to 'feel' your emotions and sadness. This private time to grieve, cry and blow off steam is ok, and letting your emotions flow is part of the healing process.

Having said that, if there is no end in sight, and this pattern replays over and over for years... then its definitely time to try something new!

I believe that regardless of what caused YOUR broken heart, it is possible for you to get your life back on track if you put forth the effort. It's a matter of programming your mind and deciding it is time to rebuild. I would like to add however, that if you are feeling suicidal that you need to get professional help immediately.

I was just plain sad but not to the point I didn't care about life. I was just tired of living in pain and missing out on the enjoyment of this gift called life.

I have found that by pinpointing the exact issues and realizing that I was NOT the sole cause, that I was a good person and deserved relief that I could overcome all challenges... and so can you!. I found that by setting a few goals, both personal and otherwise, as well as with the help of a few resources I have been able to put the past behind me and see my heartbreak for what it really is (not what I thought it was), and completely transform my life.

Here are a couple of resources I feel worthwhile and may help you find how to heal a broken heart as I have done. Let me know how you make out and if you have any questions feel free to contact me at healedmyheart@gmail.com.
Wishing you happiness.
