In the worst times it is important to remember we have had all of these feelings before. Because no matter how cliché, life is never smooth sailing, there will always be something that challenges, enrages, depresses or is joyous and even on occasion is just “meh”.

Heartbreak is no exception, the pain unbearable, inconsolable and we despair. And luckily as a grown ups we have survived heartbreak on occasion, we know it will pass, that given time it will go from sharp stabbing to dull ache and ultimately we will move on. But, in the moment even with that knowledge we despair.

There is no quick fix, no easy road to take, we must accept the pain, acknowledge it, work through it – try and remember that it does not define who we are as human beings, try and not let it taint every aspect of our lives.

I know this too shall pass – but really wish I could find that silver lining.
