The Lifted Hearts Community is...
"Empathy and understanding. Open hearted. Honest and truthful.
Enlightening. Unconditional. Non-judgmental. Encouraging. Warm and
friendly..." |

...Compassion
...Integrity
..Reason
..Caring
..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!

"I feel like everyone
around me is sick of my heartbreak... I know I am! But healing doesn't happen
in anyone else's time line, and by coming here we see people in all phases
of the process. We have hope that we'll get better, but it's okay to be right
where we are."
"I have to say that the name 'Tigress
Luv', initially, to a 'stiff upper lip' Brit, sounded a bit offputting, but
when I started to read the stuff about relationship break ups, having just
suffered a second break up with a man I still love dearly, the 'How to Stop
Your Breakup', hit the right note. I joined and have been reading the ebook,
and I am gobsmacked, for want of a better word. Tigress could of course,
have been writing about me personally, and I am reading the book, finding
myself nodding at every comment, and every page. I have committed all of
the 'faux pas' Tigress outlines, and can totally, absolutely see the rationale
behind her innate logic and commonsense.
Whether my relationship repairs or not,
I am already feeling better having read the book. If I only downloaded and
read this one book, I would feel it is worth the price of the gold membership.
I hope to find time to join in on some of the forums, but am a very busy
professional in the (note: industry purposedly removed to ensure privacy)
world, at the top of my profession, maybe, internationally known, but at
the bottom of the heap when it comes to successful
relationships.
Thank you Tigress, for your wisdom, humour,
and for inspiring hope. I will recommend this site to any friends in future,
who suffer the same problems in relationships." |

Breaking up is hard
to do! It is amazing how–when we endure years of drug/alcohol
addiction; codependency; or mental, emotional, or physical abuse–that
we are comforted and soothed and supported in our recovery efforts: there
are hundreds of recovery programs available to help the alcoholic. However,
when a relationship ends after years of it being the center of our universe,
we're supposed to just shake the dust off and GET OVER IT!
Get Over
It?
Not that simple! Nowhere will you find recovery
groups aimed to gain support for those who's entire world has just come crashing
down around them. Oh, sure, you can get "therapy" and seek "support from
your friends", but for some that isn't enough. Somehow, somewhere, you have
to actually receive honest and open support to understand what you are going
through, and what some barriers are that can and may prevent you from
a full recovery. Somewhere along the line you are going to want to know what
went wrong to begin with. Somewhere along the line you will want to speak
with others who can relate to your pain and support you in your efforts to
recover. And somewhere you need an understanding that you are actually
going to grieve...and mourn...and go crazy...and adjust your whole way of
living...and scream...and lose reason...and fall...and get up...and stumble...and
fight...and resist urges...and experience every emotional feeling available
to man to the highest degree of that emotion–and that that is
okay! Yet, nowhere is there a recovery program that is aimed at the loss
of our dreams. That is why I formed the Lifted Hearts Community.
Membership is growing, and the strong show of love and support in the
Community has already helped many recover from bitter divorces and
heartless breakups.

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.
