Quotes to ponder:

"A broken heart is not the same as sadness. Sadness occurs when the heart is stone cold and lifeless. On the contrary, there is an unbelievable amount of vitality in a broken heart.” ~Elizabeth Lesser

"It is true. I did not love my ex-husband to my fullest capacity because up until my heart broke open, I could not love myself to such capacity."

"Know this: A broken heart is an open heart. It is in the breaking, when our hearts are peeled back on themselves, that our truths have passage to come in and out."
