How Heartbreak Can Actually Heal You

By Evan Sanders


What if heartbreak was your best healer?

What if you took some time to dive into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that wiped out you, it really helped to create you?

These are tough questions to ask yourself. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in some way or other and truthfully there is no worse feeling in the world. You are feeling totally terrible for what seems like a lifetime and the deep sensations of loss never seem to go away. So long as we keep playing on the grand field of life, we will suffer the unavoidable fact that our hearts will break occasionally.

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

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

So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all of that agony within and change it into something else. Try writing, painting, talking, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what is within 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 try it out. You never know what may happen.
