[@krisreynolds9490]

Unfortunately sooooo true ☹️

[@AnaPRLRosa]

A lot of the time isn’t even about the love we have for someone but the fact that we feel rejected. It’s about THEM not loving us anymore. How many times have you been in a situation where you, yourself weren’t sure but when it’s the other person making a move to end things all of a sudden you are. Not getting the love from someone you’d expect to receive love from, or going through the change of “major to minor” is the painful part for me.

[@whiteyquartz7461]

That's a great point

[@SimbaAliaye]

That takes us to attachment and abandonment issues I think. For those of us who are avoidant, leaving feels so good. That's the contraction. But then we want back in to make us feeling better. For the anxious attachment types, chasing the other and getting that "love" is the thing that makes us feel better. Working on our spirituality to become self-sufficient and to know our true essence (Atman/inner guru) is the only way we can do non-attachment and not abandon ourselves so we can keep moving towards self-relization/self-evolution.

[@AnaPRLRosa]

@@SimbaAliaye Agreed however I find the 2 attachment styles can intertwine. At some point I´d leave before being left but the goal (subconsciously) was to get a reaction from the other person to reassure me. This is when the tables turn and in end ,they leave and I feel abandoned. I have changed this recently though.

[@parrottlewis2771]

That's a good point

[@thomaspostma2329]

That is very well said. I'm going through heartbreak myself right now and I must admit, I myself did question the relationship definitly a couple of times and wasn't sure about it myself. Than when she broke up with me, I felt sooo heartbroken and thought like I couldnt live without her, while literaly a week before that I was questioning the whole thing myself. It is good to be reminded of!

[@lee-anneduffy4618]

I definitely think the key to healing from heartbreak is a balance of enjoying life without them, as well as allowing yourself to feel the pain, cry it out. I think every time you cry, you heal a little bit more each time. Just be pateint and give yourself time, but dont run away from how you're feeling.

[@Sue-ec6un]

Here’s how I deal with my serious emotions. I acknowledge them. I set a timer. 1 hour, wallow away, cry scream, pound a pillow, whatever you need to do (no attacking another person) when the timer goes off. Have a new thought. I don’t care what thought, lunch, laundry, whatever, immerse yourself in that. If you get over emotional again about the same thing, repeat BUT set the timer for 50 minutes. Next time, less time, until eventually you can encounter that emotion and allow it to pass even before you know it. It has worked for me through many heartbreaks, not just the end of relationships but the death of loved ones. Hope it helps someone else.

can recommend throwing yourself a pity party.

Debra, hope you’re feeling great now. People that decide to leave have a certain control of the situation, they made the decision and left the other person devastated, that’s common don’t feel bad. The problem is that we end up blaming ourselves or feeling guilty “should’ve done this or that” “what did I do wrong?” But no! Don’t get into this mind games, accept and thank the lesson and move on. Yes it sounds so easy, I’m in this situation right now, but we can and must do it.

Yeah this watch has come at the right time, i put so much into my 4 year relationship, she basically sat and watched me do everything, physically and mentally and when i did the smallest error id get called out on it. after much arguing i ended the relationship and she had moved on within 2 weeks!!. 💔 my hearts been in pieces for months and all i can do is blame myself for not doing this and that when in reality i did my best and gave so much love but i guess it just wasnt meant too be. I feel your pain and hope we can all get through this ❤ much love

[@kirstyanne_]

‘You have to feel it to heal it’ perhaps an overused phrase but it is a deep truth. I went through a divorce not too long ago and I allowed myself to take as long as I needed to ride the waves of grief. This led me to understand myself better and learned to nurture myself in a time of sorrow which led me to realise the love I have deeply craved from external sources is always within me and not something I have to earn from another person. Meditation, breathwork and writing helped me process my feelings. Going forward I know now that I will choose differently and I am practicing non attachment, change is the only inevitability in life and I’m learning to be ok with that. I am grateful to heartbreak, it’s been one of my biggest teachers

[@SimbaAliaye]

Right with you here - breathwork, meditation, wisdom talks from my guru, Kirtan, asanas, etc. And stop repeating our stories. That does nothing but make the ego work overtime.

[@valerieboulter6122]

I have come to recognise that heartbreak is the same as grief. Grieving a loss is heartbreaking or heart mending, and processing it is to go through the five distinct stages of grief after losing someone: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. This can take as long as a person needs.

I just want to feel accepted. Unconditional love. Turns out I need to show it to myself first. Not quite there.

[@b.johnny369]

I think the way we see and handle heartbreak is quite often forged in the fire of our childhood experience (s). Left unacknowledged, unexplored, or unaccepted and unrecovered from, we are left to our own (sometimes) rudimentary and lacking coping mechanisms. I do think that unless and until we fully understand how to accept and love our own selves unconditionally, heartbreak is a monster capable of devouring our self esteem. And then we do so many things to feed the monster, or to shut it up, lol. Oof. The things. Understanding that we are the answer, and that we are love incarnate, creates a beautiful detached mode of transport through life that is unmatchable and ultimately freeing beyond words. ❤️

[@murphygirl4782]

I know this is more directed towards romantic relationships/heartbreak. But I have found the worse heartbreak I have experienced is not from a loss of a romantic relationship, but rather the loss of my brother who died 5 years ago. I feel that when one has lost someone, such as a sibling or child or akin to such, it is not something that you can work through with simple tips or a retreat. It is a constant battle that I'm not sure ever really subsides. Regardless, heartbreak in all its forms hurts, and I hope that those experiencing it are surrounded by people who have kindness and grace.

Some of the deepest shadow work is done during that deep dark apocalyptic heartbreak. At one incarnation or another the soul has to go through it to "level up" and detox the darkness out of those hard to reach crevices. What lies afterwards is an independence and freedom that cant be put into words.

[@scarlettestanley3391]

But I've got to say personally, it was actually experiencing many,many heartbreaks(and within 'heartbreak' I include loss thru deaths as well as romantic break-ups), the very heartbreaks and losses themselves, that taught me how to self heal and self love. Which invariably led me to finding very healthy love with another person and a strong relationship...(not until I was 42!)after much love, much loss. But without the loss,the pain and the heartache, my heart would not be near as strong or near as capable of containing joy. As Khalil Gibrhan would say"the deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain"

I discovered a profound truth quite by accident. I was in a fantastic marriage for almost 40 years and then she got cancer and died. My heart was torn apart and I could not recover. The sever sadness permeated my entire life. It was simply impossible for me to have a happy thought. After a few months of this I happened to run into an old friend, his daughter was with him and she happened to recently have had a baby. I requested to hold this baby. What happened next was simply profound. Just holding this baby instantly flipped a switch in my brain and I had my energy and my life back for the few moments as I was holding this tiny creature. New born's apparently can emit some strange type of unlimited energy. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience ? ? ?

For a long time I was proud of my efforts to gain some health back and endure so long with this challenging illness. But, now I feel I was just being selfish. He could have had a much more stable upbringing. I cannot make it up to him and living with that failure is almost more than I can endure. I cry every single day. sometimes ALL day.

Yes, you don't want to aim at maintaining the initial feeling of falling in love. That would be like being disappointed with a baby that grows into a toddler that grows into a child,teen,adult. Love evolves like that too,I think.we always look back and remember fondly our kids when they were infants, l(like when we fist met our life mates)but are proud of how they've grown. And if each individual learns to heal their own heart wounds and practices clearing their own mind space, then coming together can be profoundly supportive and love kind of thrives on its own,evolving and everchanging alongside both parties. Almost like love is its own separate entity.

[@happytobealive8461]

The body is reacting to the mental suffering. Mental suffering occurs because in serious relationships our mental program (which operates our daily existence) has had some major programming additions added to it from the constant interactions with someone we became close to. That is why when someone suffers a major break up, the condition they are experiencing cannot just be explained away. Words won't just get rid of it. Its not like turning off a light switch. You can't just suddenly think the right things to make it all go away. Your mental program (which operates your daily activities) must have new things introduced into it to reorder your daily life with a different purpose. Your program determines your perception of reality. Each person's program is their concept of reality. That's why some people feel it is impossible for their life to go on without the one they lost. It feels like the heart is suffering (breaking) because your reality has been up-ended. It's all in the way your mind has become programmed through daily interactions in your environment (including with other people). That's why other people, who have never taken things seriously enough to become mentally bonded to another will never suffer an immediate or long-lasting pain from a break up. Their minds are not wired for such things to occur. The other person's interactions never became a serious part of this person's program. Hence, the program (like a computer) does not crash. Their program is somewhat independent (not dependent on) another. It's all in the program. You can't just say what you think you should do, or say how you think you should look at things after the fact. Your program (your perception of reality) must be reordered. New events and people accomplish this. With people whose minds have become wired with constant interaction, events, and bonding to someone else, it requires time to rewire to something else. It takes the time for that to happen and then your mind is ok again. Yes, the memory can remain, but in time, new (other) things will have replaced the constant memory of what you were before used to doing. Hence the thought of those people and the activities you shared together will fade away.

I had experienced a lot of relationships connected sufferings back in 2019. But this gave me powerful impulse for spiritual awakening.

Khalil Gibrhan's poetry and wisdom helped me through some very deep heartbreaks (including the loss of my little son).With his deep empathy and ability to point out the beauty in pain, I thought it might be helpful to recommend reading his art to anyone experiencing a broken heart right now. I hope it helps heal some. Love Light and Laughter

@@sunlovinsnowflake - Wow thank you for so much value. Any specific video you recommend or think “definitely this one”. I really appreciate it btw. I will take this and help someone else just like you help me because the thing is. We all relate with each other. We’ve all been through heartbreak and massive pain. So… We all in this comment thread know what it feels like. I’d do anything for people to help me get healed. At the same time in reverse I’d do anything to help others. 🙏🏼

Brilliant video. Well articulated and really discusses ways to approach relationships. Love it

[@moniclare4214]

To love is one thing. To deal with the numbness of being separate , well its enough just to get through the day .. the week. To find the strength to move forward initially is mindblowinly hard. It takes time before one can start to build another life... with each day that passes one builds a bridge to another life. It doesn't happen because you decide it happens. Time is the healer each day is a new step forward. You dont have to push for every new step it will happen naturally. With each day one becomes stronger. The only thing you have to do during the heartbreak is to comfort and care for yourself like a child who needs nurturing self love and self support.. like going out for a meal rather than cooking for yourself that day. Like taking a camera with you on a walk or journey and use that to record the beauty of the day... see life and its beauty through a camera lense..... help a person to lift a heavy object or do something that's similar.. reach out to help others gently. To target ten new people is to put ones self under stress and in the firing line... that us not what is needed during the heartbreak hump....

[@ann-christinberg886]

Delightful speech, Russell!

[@333Eriana]

heart break and grief are closely related - (unless you are a narcissist) - you have seen some of yourself in the other -when the other is gone, you are missing 'who you were' with them - - - by the way - i picked that up from a shakespearean speech, and think it's brilliant

Thank you Russell, for your advice on personal responsibility while in a relationship (not relying on our partner to fix everything we need to fix ourselves) was fabulously sagacious! ✌💕 🙏Namaste

[@staciethelinguist697]

I appreciate the emphasis on reflection after heartbreak. This is something that takes practice, but it can change us and motivate us to be better people not only in our romantic lives but elsewhere as well. And having a support system is *everything* reminding yourself that you are loved outside of that person, for me anyway, helps me to cope with the loss. Love isn’t really gone, because we are surrounded by people who love and care for us, and while it may not be romantic, love is still love and it will fill in the cracks of your heart.

[@natpaler883]

Although I was heartbroken many times in my life, when I look back I’m happy and 100% certain that that the right things happened.

I also love your take on self-reference and maturity. Self-realization should always come first. Know your essence and from there decisions can be made...not from a right or wrong decision perspective but from not abandoning yourself. Please! More on this relationship topic. Just ended a 30 yr marriage to a man I loved deeply because he was living a double life probably the whole time. Tripped into a new relationship much too soon and now must re-evaluate the relationship daily! More on this please!

[@Tomara632]

Very true Russell... You just need to accept the facts and let go... When my heart was brutality and publicly smashed to bits I spent ages doing a post mortem... That was processing the shock and grief.... Then Ant Middleton's words made sense... He was like a mould...enough of that sorry saga.... Now onto something more uplifting... My beloved grandparents spent their whole lives together and never spent a day apart and stayed in love till this earthly life ended... When my Grandfather passed my grandmother didn't want to live any more and just stopped eating. She prayered for death every day till she was gone.... So true love does exist... I've witnessed it.

[@WoopaMage]

Thanks Russell, currently going through a break up, but it's a strange one, mainly broken up due to my unresolved issues, bad health + no job + addictive patterns + insecurity + dishonesty + fear and just self doubt and occasional hatred. I do realize that the pain comes from attachment, and for sure I have been playing the victim expecting other people to complete me, fix my shit for me, or hold my hand while I do it. I am now more independently sorting my self out, and I find that when I do that, the support and help comes to me anyway without me crying and begging for it, when I flow life flows with us. But it's very true, to stay aware, to stay awake, to go into the depth of meditiation, to be in alignment within is a tough cookie to crack sometimes but thats always the point of liberation. Eventually we always need to return to that sense of connection and wholeness that you well said. I remember Deepak Chopra saying something along those lines, 'Returning to the memory of oneness'. Anyways guys, there is always hope and a way, even if it seems impossible or super difficult, you can do it and get through it, find the guidance and follow it, bit by bit, it can be done. Perhaps I will fail again and fall into addiction or some ego trap, but the more we do it, and the more we become genuinely involved with the process, i feel our spirit does become stronger and we do learn even if it seems like we're just falling lower. God is love, and thats true always, good luck hacking yourself Ya'll!!!! *

[@niamhneevekinsella7951]

Thanks Russell. I agree, i need to feel the pain and that’s a challenge in recovery, just not to reject myself. That’s the ultimate.

[@snappysue2947]

Oh man, you hit the solution right on the mark! I once told my doctor, when asked if I've ever had a heart attack, that I've had my heart broken several times but not "attacked"! Never relied on another to complete me but have found what I thought was my true love. He didn't feel the same. He needed something and it was me to fulfill some need he thought I didn't provide - . time brought us back to a point that neither of us faced before and we are working on ourselves and our relationship daily. It's easy to toss out the old towel with the trash. We've been married for 40 years .. not up for the medal but up for the long haul at this time ..working on ourselves with support of each other.) Never thought there would come a day I would agree with Russell! I do agree with you 💯 today!

[@koroshiya_1]

Thank you, Russell. I'm too heart broken to take in the deeper meaning of what you're saying right now, but I imagine I will come back to this video to help me heal. The person I was seeing broke up with me last night, he said we were on completely different wavelengths... It's extremely painful and a shame, but I know that I will eventually find someone who connects deeply with me :( ❤️

Diet and exercise cures a broken heart through building confidence. That worked for me at least.

[@milenaseymour446]

God this video was great! Ive always referred myself to being a hopeless romantic. But now at 46 ( married and divorced VERY young) I’ve been through other very long term committed relationships and I’ve learned a lot about myself. Through my growth my tastes, likes, priorities and self worth has changed dramatically. I love ❤️ how u pointed out that “love” is within. Very accurate and deep! U also can’t look to the other person to complete u. Yes we can feel love for many things ( car, job, nature, material things) But the greatest love is self love and no one can give you that, nor can they take it away. Heartbreak (for me at least ) has felt absolutely devastating in a couple past relationships. I think friends, and being forced to keep busy helped a little. But only time heals the pain completely. Love is a complicated emotion and has many dimensions . I thought the advice about going on in dates with other people that you wouldn’t normally date was NOT good advice! Especially after a fresh heartbreak. I think that would make the pain much worse ( especially if the lost love was very special).

Well, I think your heart gets broken from many diverse relationships, your children can break your heart, you may break your parent's on occasion, and, living and loving beget happiness and sadness, as William Blake said, "Joy and woe are woven fine, a clothing for the soul Divine."

[@alejandrobetancourt4902]

Russell, my friend, I'd love to see that video about the conditions for a healthy relationship. I thought I was ready for a relationship and just spent the last 5 months trying to force a relationship to happen with someone who was recently divorced and asked me for time. I now see that I was not as ready as I thought. I am currently utterly heartbroken so this video is of great help.

[@joegarcia5585]

Alex, it’s not your fault or not being ready, the negative point I see here is that love isn’t about forcing mate, I could think this girl obviously felt the pressure and ask you for time. Let things flow, be yourself and you will attract that special one.

[@sunshinecompany1]

I think a lot of times we think we are missing the person or relationship....which the logical mind cant make sense of if they were an asshole. 🤔 but what we really miss is the feeling of love and happiness we had in ourselves....which sometimes has little to do with them!!😉
