Description

What if life, beneath the surface, were composed of a series of transitions with the potential to break open our hearts and what if our broken-open hearts could ease our approach to living?In this illuminating book Julie Interrante weaves together insights from those facing great challenge with her own discoveries to reveal the importance of embracing pain. Whether sparked by the loss of a friend or loved one, a pet or long-held belief, a job or a marriage, a home and community, or physical capacity, pain breaks open the heart, catalyzing great courage, trust, and creativity for living life joyfully. It also heightens our attunement to nature's cycle of seasons, as well as our own, which moves us full tilt into our living and eventually into our dying. The Power of a Broken-Open Heart is not an instruction manual. Nor is it a set of religious guidelines. Rather, it is a down-to-earth exploration of vulnerability and change. Ultimately it offers a new lens on life's gift of transitions.
