How Heartbreak Can Actually Heal You

By Evan Sanders


What if heartbreak was your best healer?

What if you took a little time to jump into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that annihilated you, it really helped create you?

These are tough questions to ask yourself. However, they really are stunningly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in one way or another and honestly there is not any worse feeling that exists. You're feeling totally awful for what seems to be a lifetime and the sensations of loss never really seem to depart. If we keep playing on the great field of life, we are going to suffer the inevitable fact that our hearts will break occasionally.

But what if, when heartbreak occurs, we allow it to show us where we truly have to do deep interpersonal work? How will we take the discomfort of loss and be in a position to create something attractive with it?

I'm not saying that we should try and ascend above our agony, but rather as an alternative try and take our own discomfort and birth something positive and pretty out of it. It's a challenge not for the faint of heart, and yet at the very same time one that could make an amazing difference when we are faced with deep grief.

So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all of that pain deep within and make it into something else. Try writing, painting, drawing, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what's inside you instead of letting it eat you day to day. There's something beautiful about going through a time of great change and pain. Yes, it really does hurt, but maybe it is about your heart breaking open instead of breaking to pieces?

Just give it a try. You never know what may happen.
