Summary:
The loss of a love is a nearly universal emotional crisis, whether
the end is divorce, desertion, or a mutually agreed-upon separation.
At first, friends and family are there to offer a shoulder to cry on,
but after a few months there's an expectation that we just need to
get over the crisis and move on. Thus, unprocessed, painful feelings
are buried, leaving us numb. Or we repeat damaging relationship
patterns over and over again. The situation doesn't have to be like
that. Healing a Broken Heart guides those of us grieving for a lost
love through four metaphorical seasons of recovery with provocative
questions -- and journal pages on which to respond -- to help move us
forward. The four seasons serve as powerful metaphors for the stages
of the grieving process. Summer is the season for charting the course
of a relationship: remembering hopes and expectations, the warning
signs that went unheeded. During autumn, journalers accept the
reality of breaking up and acknowledge things about the relationship
that didn't serve their needs. Winter brings the pain of grief over
the profound loss. Finally, spring -- and, with it, renewal --
invites readers to examine and understand how their family history
may have affected their past relationships. Punctuated throughout
with poems and moving meditations, the thoughtful, interactive
approach of this book offers the time and space we all need to heal
when our hearts are broken.
