Opening your heart and loving someone else is an act of bravery, and when the relationship doesn’t work, heartbreak can be a traumatic experience. When your heart is broken, there is a deep and dark sense of despair, a mourning of a love lost. There is a sense of loneliness and a looming doubt that things will ever be right again. When we love, when we open our hearts, we form emotional and spiritual connections and bonds with our beloved. A romantic relationship should be supportive, loving, and make you feel good. In our hearts we know what we need from a relationship, but we don’t always get what we need. When we are in unhealthy relationships, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to end the relationship and separate ourselves. We know in our hearts when it’s time to end a relationship. If you are being abused, if you are unhappy, or if the love isn’t being reciprocated, your heart and your emotions will let you know when it’s time to go. Ignoring these feelings and staying in a relationship that is wrong for you will only make things harder. Listening to your feelings and making the right choices will allow you to learn, move forward, and grow. But it won’t be easy. The road to recovery, peace, and acceptance can be long and feel impossible at times, but there is inevitably a light at the end of the tunnel. Luckily, there’s nothing you have to do to heal. Feel the despair, let yourself be consumed with the pain. Don’t close your heart to love or build walls, don’t be hard on yourself of beat yourself up. Healing will come with time. With time, your heart will heal and you will feel whole again. The time you spend heartbroken seems to be a necessary process. And when you do heal, you will feel an amazing sense of freedom and growth. As low as you feel when you are in the midst of heartache is as high as you can feel once you heal. Take it day by day, let the momentum of the good days take you through the bad ones, and look forward to your light at the end of the tunnel, knowing that you will be better and wiser once you come out the other side.

Sometime you just have to
hold your head up high,
blink away the tears
and say good-bye.
