The following answers represent my personal take on some common, nagging questions that seem to torment those who are struggling with the pain of a broken heart.

1.    Why me? - Because you have reached a crossroads in the blueprint of your life path. The road you traveled on up to this point has come to an end and you must now trust your inner compass to guide you in the right direction. As tempting as it may be to indulge in a perpetual pity party, consider embracing the opportunity for personal growth instead.

2.    Where do I go from here? - Forward. This is not a race and there is no need for giant leaps. Take baby steps if you need to, for as long as you need to. The important thing is to just keep moving forward.

3.    When will the pain subside? - Though the timeline varies for everyone, typically the pain begins to subside once the heart finally comes to accept what the head has been saying all along. Emotional pain tends to be deeply rooted in denial, which can easily cloud our inner vision. You will never see the light at the end of the tunnel until you start looking through the new set of eyes that fate has generously provided for you.

4.    Will I ever be happy again? - Yes, but only if you allow yourself the privilege. Happiness comes in all sorts of packages, the most colorful of which always comes from within. There is a hidden treasure buried in us all even if it sometimes takes an awful lot of digging to uncover. Don't waste another second, the golden shovel is in your hands!

5.    How do I break up without breaking down? - Order your copy of the book, follow the step-by-step guide offered therein and begin reinventing life as you know it.
