Opening it to love and to new possibilities. Loss of a dream you believed was true.īut you can also find and feel grief in opening your heart. The loss of the life you thought you had, the life you once knew and held so dear. The heart is designed to grieve, it wants to grieve….it has to grieve! You’ll cry when you see a bird, a can of paint, an apple, or even the shape of a cloud. Not just to clear pain, but for the simplest of everyday reasons, and out of nowhere. What I’m proposing is that, with enough healing, living with heartbreak can become natural, and very normal.įrom my personal and professional experience, I can tell you that as you embark on your healing journey, you’ll start crying a whole lot more. It’s the way you honor that which you love. The skill is learning to live with your grief as an ongoing way of being in the world. The answer isn’t how you fix it or move beyond it. If someone you love died, your heart is probably broken. “Now I know I’ve got a heart because it’s breaking.” Remember what the Tin Man said in the “Wizard of Oz” after he finally got a heart….
