Heartbreak Heals with Hope First Aid
Stop!
Has heartbreak caused a roadblock in your journey?
I HATE HEARTBREAK!
Heartbreak First Aid Kit (No expiration date)
I don’t like talking about heartbreak. I’m a rainbows and lollipops, always find the silver lining, focus on hope kind of gal.
I want to talk about the healing and not the heartbreak that led to it.
But when I was talking the other day and shared a struggle, my husband stared at me before telling me, “I had no idea. I never knew you struggled.”
I had worked hard to portray hope and possibilities so that my family wouldn’t hurt, and I ended up wearing a mask that hid the heartbreak from them.
And so, they just didn’t believe I ever hurt or worried or panicked . . .
No wonder they looked at me so weirdly.
I have had to learn to share the hurt so that I can proclaim the healing power of hope.
#QuoteoftheDay
Heartbreak stops purpose
in its tracks.
You need
to HEAL the heartbreak
to get moving again.

The First Aid for Heartbreak
1. Allow the feelings to happen.
Hurts hurt, and that’s okay. Give yourself time to feel the emotions.
Allow the tears to flow.
Be okay with not being okay.
2. Use a tourniquet – a person or tool that can help.
When I had a miscarriage between the middle son and the youngest son, it was getting up and walking outside in the garden with the fresh flowers that served as the bandage.
Different wounds need different care, but you need to stop the bleeding and take care of them.
3. Find the Truth – it’s written in the Word.
Your TRUTH starts in God’s Word.
The Word is a lamp to my feet and light for my path – from Psalm 119:105. He lights the way. He makes the Way. He IS the way.
4. Accept the rogue tears – because sometimes an old wound still hurts.
You may always have a hole in your heart – and sometimes that hole will stir up the hurt of the past hurts and struggles.
Don’t beat yourself up when those rouge tears appear.
5. Invest in the Light (and the light).
The light heals the body and the heart and the mind.
You have to be intentional about getting in the light to enjoy the benefits of the light.
That goes for the sun or for the Son – Light of the Spirit.
The Truth of Heartbreak
Heartbreak will happen. Hurt will sneak up and bite you when you least expect it. If you treat the heartache with hope first aid, you’ll stop the bleeding and start living in purpose and on purpose once again.
