While these emotionally-infused episodes of “love lost” might have seemed unbearably painful at the time of happening, they were also the catalyst for personal growth, and played a critical role in my becoming a more wholesome and complete person. Over the next few years, it was through dealing with recurring relationship issues that I experienced several rewarding revelations and was able to trigger several major growth spurts in my own self-improvement. Although I would recommend a different book now for similar circumstances, at the time, this book introduced me to new concepts that helped me make sense of my emotions, and I was hungry for more. Out of despair, I had picked up a copy of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People – the only personal development book I had heard of, at the time. In fact, my journey into personal growth began when I was confronted by a painful breakup five years ago. When I love, I give it my all, and when it ends, the pain of feeling abandoned can become overwhelmingly and cripplingly intense. I cry easily at movies and at the sight of passers-by with physical disabilities. I categorize myself as a very passionate and emotional person. This article focuses on the healing process from “love lost”. When these emotional bruises are not understood and have not healed properly, they become invisible baggage that drag with us into the next relationship. Sometimes, the pain of lost love is so intense that it can shake our beliefs about romance and relationships. Although the stories were different, the underlying message was universal and one in the same, “ I am in so much pain from not being with this person – what can I do?” Over the past year, I have regularly received email from readers sharing their own takes on painful breakups tales of guilt, of fear, of regret, and of resentment. With so much emotion invested and our identities tied in with these experiences, it’s no wonder that this is the number one topic requested by readers. So much so that it disrupts our normal flow of experiences, causing us to not function normally. Whether we’re talking about breakups, or facing the reality of a one-sided romance, it is painful. You scramble to grab a hold of something … anything, as you witness your body falling at great speeds, and then shattering on the earth below. And usually, when love ends, it feels as if you’ve been dropped like a rock in mid-air. Falling passionately in love with someone is one of the most exhilarating feelings, as if you had wings and you are flying high in the sky, feeling the wind romantically blowing through your hair.
