Feeling heartbroken is like having your emotions shattered into a thousand pieces. It's a deep, painful ache that can feel all-consuming and overwhelming. It might feel like a heavy weight on your chest or a hollow emptiness where joy once was. The sadness can come in waves, triggered by memories, places, or even just a thought. Sometimes, it’s accompanied by a sense of betrayal, confusion, or anger. Despite the intense pain, it’s a natural part of the healing process, and with time, support, and self-care, those pieces can eventually start to come together again.
