About the Book
The pain of loss is an unavoidable aspect of the human condition. We've all experienced loss at various points in our lives, and it often changes us forever. And though time may not heal all wounds, it does give a measure of solace as we journey through our sadness toward happier days.
Heartbroken gathers together quotations that reflect on loss, grief, and recovery. Writers, poets, philosophers, clerics, political leaders, and entertainers contribute moving words that give insight into the many aspects of loss, and offer thoughts on how to find the courage to get through even the darkest of days. There are also excerpts and selections of verse from such literary giants as Robert Browning, Emily Dickinson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, and Oscar Wilde that each comment on life and loss.
Both poignant and hopeful, Heartbroken thoughtfully illuminates the universal human experience of heartbreak and healing.
