The developmental task of heartbreak is to harness the huge amount of pain we are in, and to use it to evolve beyond our old painful patterns in love, as well as to awaken us to the power we hold to re-create our lives to be even more beautiful than they were before. In being hurled into a well of unspeakable suffering, we are given a terrifying choice. Will we sink, or will we now learn how to swim?
This seems to be the core of this approach to heartbreak.
