What are the healing guidelines to survive a break up?
Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Welcome to the Lonely Hearts’ Club. Here are my guidelines to heal and mend a broken heart, read on:
1) Allow yourself to go through the complete grieving process.
2) Communicate your feelings to friends or other members of the family. never hold back your feelings, thinking that you have to be in control. If it is difficult to speak with people you know, perhaps a therapist or support group would be the best outlet to express your inner feelings and thoughts.
3) Take one day at a time. Do not feel you must accomplish everything at once.
4) Be patient and gentle with yourself. Your grief will be sporadic. Some days you will feel okay; other days you will sit and stare into space, feeling numb and alone.
5) It is normal to burst out occasionally in fits of anger. Let it out, but don’t harm yourself or anyone else.
6) As time goes by, make some effort to keep in touch socially. Don’t isolate yourself. Get out to a movie or a dinner with friends.
7) You may want to get a pet from the local shelter. pets are perfect company and will comfort you with unconditional love.
Don’t jump into other relationships prematurely. This may be your way of masking your pain and sorrow. Give yourself space. When you are ready, you’ll know.
9) See this experience as an opportunity to open yourself to your spiritual life.
10) Leave the door open to love again.
