Heartbreak happens to all of us and can
wash over us like a heavy rain. When experiencing a broken heart, our
ethereal selves are saturated with grief, and the overflow is channeled
into the physical body. Loss becomes a physical emptiness, and longing is
transmuted into a feeling that often cannot be put into words. Mending a
broken heart can seem a task so monumental that we dare not attempt it
for fear of damaging ourselves further. But heartbreak, like all
emotions, falls under the spell of our conscious influence.
Often the pain that wounds us most
deeply also leaves the most enduring mark upon us. The shock that becomes
the tender, throbbing ache of the heart eventually leads us down the path
of enlightenment, blessing our lives with a new depth and richness.
Acknowledging heartbreak's
impermanence by no means dulls its sting for it is the sting itself that
stimulates healing. The pain is letting us know that we need to pay
attention to our emotional selves, to sit with our feelings and be in
them fully before we can begin to heal. It is said that time heals all
wounds. Time may dull the pain of a broken heart, but it is fully feeling
your pain and acknowledging it that will truly help you heal. Dealing
with your heartache in a healthy way rather than putting it off for
tomorrow is the key to repair. Gentleness more than anything else is
called for. Most important, open yourself to the possibility of loving,
trusting, and believing again. When, someday soon, you emerge from the
cushion of your grief, you will see that the universe did not cease to be
as you nursed your broken heart. You emerge on the other side of the
mending, stronger for all you have experienced.
