How Heartbreak Can Actually Heal You

By Evan Sanders


What if heartbreak was your best healer?

What if you actually 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 hard questions to ask yourself. Nonetheless, they really are stunningly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in some way and truthfully there isn't any worse feeling that you can go through. You're feeling totally awful for what seems like forever and the deep sensations of loss never really seem to go. So long as we keep playing on the grand field of life, we will suffer the inevitable fact that our hearts will break now and then.

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

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

So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all of that pain within and change it into something else. Try writing, painting, speaking, 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.
