..Lively*
..Endurance
*(what other breakup board
contains book reviews, weather reports, poetry postings, and 'writerly' diary
entries?)
....and don't forget
HOPE itself...
That's what I've found here. It's so great to see that others have survived,
or are surviving, what you're going through. Seeing others' progress and
even setbacks help you to understand that what you're experiencing is
normal.
Lifted Hearts is wonderful
b/c
-
it helps us get
through the day with the advice of others
-
it's important
to realize that there are others like you that are going through the same
situation as you
-
you meet people
that live in a different country that are trying to help you too
-
you can help others
-
and post all you
want and not get a "Oh god, not again" sigh.
And how about
these wondrous acclamations:
-
we love and care
for each other
-
our lives and emotions
have truly improved since we came here
-
you are a hot mamma!
-
NR is a stud muffin!
-
there is no greater
catharsis than writing and posting your feelings here, for all the world
to see!

Breaking Up and a New Spiritual
Awareness Go Hand in Hand
It's only natural that you would be
vulnerable and filled with raw emotions when you've just had a breakup, and
there are only a few things that can help you find solace and peace of mind.
Two of those things is acceptance and trust. Accepting that it is over -
and trusting that you will be okay - can help you find peace of mind.
And the easiest way to find acceptance and trust, is to bring a Higher Power
into your life. That's why so many people end up with a new spiritual
awareness after breaking up from a long-term intimate relationship. This
new awareness is the blessed result of that uneasy emptiness that fills their
heart with such an aching need. Spiritual awareness can help you heal those
wounds caused by a lost love and enable you to emerge stronger from this
personal and emotional crisis.
Spirituality and religious inclinations after breakups are not uncommon.
After all, it is the Supreme Power whom we turn to in our hours of trial
and grief. This allows you to look so deeply at the hurt that you discern
in it an opportunity to forgive. When this new spiritual awareness makes
forgiving easier it, in turn, helps cleanse your system of those negative
feelings of hatred and 'revenge' seeking. Along with this, all the stress
and anxiety that comes with a breakup also gets healed much more easily and
rapidly. Spiritual inclination can help you feel more content in the belief
that there is a new and better life beyond grief.
Spiritual healing begins by shifting your
attention from the pain of your breakup to the sweet memories of the past
and the joyous prospect of the future. This may be difficult in the beginning
but in due time you will realize that no bitterness in a relationship's ending
shall take away the precious and beautiful memories of the love filled days
you two once shared. When you are thankful for the gift of time you two did
have together, instead of full of grief over the loss of it, your soul
automatically soars, your spirit lifts, and you'll feel better emotionally
and spiritually.
There are many trivial issues that may
consume and obsess you in the beginning stages of a breakup. Your grief tends
to make these trivial matters seem more crucial and important than they really
are. However, when combined with a new spiritual awakening - and a small
passage of time - our obsessive thoughts clear up. The cloud of grief is
no more around, and we realize that the issues that we thought were so important
were never really that significant after all. Spirituality helps you look
into solutions rather than problems, it helps you see the big picture
of your life rather than the small transformation from couple to single.
Therefore, when facing a relationship breakup, a newly discovered spirituality
can be the answer and your salvation to a brighter day.
Handing your grief over to a higher power
instills spiritual healing after a breakup and leaves a positive feeling
in your heart, making space for the appropriate balance of your 'yin and
yang' forces. Spiritual awareness moves you through new and higher levels
of perspectives and consciousness. This not only makes you a better person,
but also helps you find a new partner who can appreciate you as you are and
who will want to be with you forever. This is why we often immerge
from a breakup a better, happier person.
A breakup is an ideal time to introspect within yourself and question, "who
am I". Since, there is no one to divert your mind and attention away from
you, you can get to know yourself better and work on the factors that
led to your breakup - so that it doesn't happen again. With this newfound
spirituality you will experience better health, an abundance of joy, and
personal fulfillment.

It's only the beginning now,
A pathway yet unknown;
At times the sound
of other steps ...
Sometimes we walk alone.
The best beginnings
of our lives
May sometimes
end in sorrow;
But even on our
darkest days ...
The sun will shine tomorrow.
So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring,
And look beyond
the winter chill ...
To smell the breath
of spring.
Into each life
will always come
A time to start anew;
A new beginning
for each heart ...
As fresh as morning dew.
Although the cares
of life are great
And heads are
bowed so low,
The storms of life
will leave behind ...
The wonder of a rainbow.
The years will
never take away
Our chance to start anew;
It's only the beginning now
So Dreams can
still come true.
