Soulbroken Quotes

“To be soulbroken is to be filled with anguish that is brought on by the loss of our love, our relationship, and ourselves, and, often it is void of validation. If you know this pain, my deepest sympathies to you, not only for your loss but for how you've been hurting.”

“On this, as researcher and storyteller Brené Brown explains in her book Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead, “Shame is the most powerful, master emotion.

If you put the same amount of shame in a Petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can’t survive.”

“When we lose someone we love and we also lose a part of ourselves, it's something more.

That is why such loss stretches beyond being heartbroken to being soulbroken.”
