S O L A C E
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
- Proverbs 13:12.
Heartbroken?
Take a minute, it happens to the best of us; yes it hurts like hell, it drains you and you literally feel sick.
Grieve for a few days, but don’t wallow in the mire of sadness - don’t replay the beautiful memories in a death loop. Eat, sleep and focus on the other aspects of your great life.
I’m still studying the concept of being heartbroken, knowing the love is dead and gone, but still staying in the relationship, going through the motions with the person and healing through it - but people do it.
I hear women are great at this.
Some people go cold-turkey: a sudden and total cut off of everything and a scrub of all memories. The effect is jarring but the results, if you can hold out, are quicker. I remember how we believed that shots (injections) cut through the illness and delivers faster relief than drugs do.
Maybe it’s true. So cold-turkey is the painful shot!
Others keep communication open; using the other person as a crutch to get through the pain (this works best when the separation is unavoidable or mutual).
I have a step by step guid to getting over a heartbreak, maybe I’ll just do a video…
But in reality…
Time is the only medicine you need; give time some time!
