How grief healsGrieving is a specific process by which we gradually let go of our attachment to the people (or places or things or even possibilities) we have lost. Of course, in the first shock of heartbreak it is not much comfort to be told that things will improve in time. We might not be ready for our feelings to improve-part of us might not even have accepted what has happened yet. And even once we do accept it, it is possible to misunderstand grief. Grief happens one bit at a time. You feel bad for a while and then it stops. You feel fine, then you feel sad again, then the sadness stops. It is important to know that grief works like this, so that we are not frightened that it will carry on forever. It won't. It will stop. But while it does happen, it is important to our recovery.

well written but really didn't work for me..:
I was going through a horrible breakup with my ex-fiancee, so I ordered this book. Even though it was a mutual thing there was once such a strong love that my heart was broken and I needed help. Some of the exercises and thinking in the book were helpful. But really I have not found one book that can cure a broken heart. The best things you can do is follow your dreams, go out with your true friends, and go on vacation- get your hair done, nails, spa sessions.. Make yourself feel beautiful and more... more info
Why We Pick The Mates We Do:
Paul McKenna has been so gracious as to include a reference to my book, WHY WE PICK THE MATES WE DO, in his book, HOW TO MEND A BROKEN HEART. My book focuses on how to know BEFORE you begin an intimate relationship with a potential partner whether or not the relationship will work out AFTER you two have gotten involved. Paul's book gives effective ways to deal with the pain of those "broken" relationships that you may wish you had never gotten involved in in the first place. He gives many effective... more info
