How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?

You know, when someone breaks your heart really, really badly. You have trusted that person with your whole life and heart. But all those years you've been together, he broke your heart again and again through lies, micro-cheating, manipulation, and verbal and emotional abuse. I endured that because I thought it was the best for the kids . But I can no longer do it. I had enough. So many people tell me to move on. Start the healing process. But is it really possible when the wound he had created carved so deeply into my soul?

It takes time, you cannot move on in a snap of the fingers. Little by little you will learn to forget and move on.

I think I can forgive, but not forget. And that's what hurting me the most. Maybe, I need divine intervention so I can fully recover from the pain. :-) Thank you , Anna, for sharing your thoughts here. :-)

That's what I'm doing every single day. I have kids to think of plus I really don't want to spend the rest of my days wallowing in sadness and misery. Only, I am tired of finding a way how to heal. :-( Thank you, Nawala. :-) By the way, are you a Filipino? :-)

It’s going to take a very long time to heal, but I know you can get there. No man is worth that torment, and your heart and soul deserve better.

Thank you, Amber. :-) My mind is telling me exactly the same thing; he doesn't deserve to be the reason of all my pains. But sometimes, the heart is just so stubborn; it has a mind of its own, eh. :-)

Deep wounds don't heal on nobody else's timeline, only yours, so don't let anybody rush you. You already survived the hardest part which was staying that long, leaving is just proof you still got fight in you. Healing ain't a straight line, some days will feel like nothing changed and that's still part of it.

The scars may run deep, but so does the human capacity to heal. One day at a time, one step at a time. Wishing you peace and strength on your journey.

We owe it to ourselves to be able to move on from every pain. However, it easier said than done. :-( I am not giving up though. :-) Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. :-)
