Book excerpt: This is a guidebook to help anyone who needs to heal emotional wounds, but isn't sure how, or where, to start. A broken heart is one of the most difficult things a person can endure in their lifetime. When a hurricane rips through our house, we file a claim with insurance and build a new one. When we get laid off from our job, we find another one. Both of these instances are devastating, yet we seem to be able to pick up the pieces and move on. However, when our lover leaves us we can't eat, we can't sleep, we can't function as human beings any longer. We feel as if our souls have been ripped from our bodies. We are walking around like an empty bag of bones. Some of us do this for years in and years out. We just don't know what to do. How do you heal your broken heart?
