Winter sun breaks through the branches of the trees in my backyard. I haven’t heard from her in 24 hours and it hurts. I am helpless to stop this feeling filling up my senses. This loss breaks like waves against my soul, wearing it down, like rock into salt.

You’ve been here, haven’t you? Whether it’s a break-up or a bad case of unrequited love, many of us end up in situations where we love someone who seems incapable of loving us back.

What can we do when we’re in such an terrible state?

We all know one answer to that question: time heals. It’s true even when we feel like in the present moment we’re going to collapse from the pain. That’s why we have to help time along, help it heal us faster, and get us back in harmony with life.

Deep down we all want to live in harmony with life. What I mean by that is this: We all want to be connected with who we are as people while also living in harmony with others, especially those we feel close to. When we’re hurt over another person, we lose sight of this harmony and start to wonder if it ever existed at all.

It does exist. Hopefully these tips can help you find it again.
