Thoughts on Loss & Heartbreak
By The Parodist | June 22, 2007
We all know that in life, nothing is ever permanent. One thing that’s ever constant is change. On good days, there will be opportunities wherein you can add something to enrich your life. And on bad days, there is that chance to experience heartbreak over certain losses.
For every individual, there are different levels of intensity on how they deal with a loss. It wouldn’t automatically mean the end of the world or that it’s a signal of the beginning of the dark ages. Sometimes, it’s just as simple as a bump on the road but for others, it can mean — heartbreak.
What are the kinds of losses that can trigger such an emotion? It can make you think, actually. Is it limited to relationships alone?
It can be a loss of a father even when he’s still alive, a journal that has records of your dreams, your past and your hopes for the future, a project that you risked a whole lot of yourself just to keep it afloat, or, yes, what everyone would associate this post with, a partner, whom you’ve offered your heart, which you laboured to keep safe the past six years, to with few questions asked.
Life is not only about what’s fair. I reckon it’s all about what you take from it — how you live it. I’ve always put more weight on the present over anything else. The past teaches me. The future inspires me but it’s the present, which matters because that’s where I am.
I guess dealing with losses and heartbreaks can be really difficult. But I believe that it’s through God’s mercy will I find the reason behind all of it. I’m trusting His heart that He knows what’s best for me. He has given me that gift, which I lost. I reckon, there’ll come a day when He’ll give me one more opportunity. No ifs nor buts. Just happily ever after.

masyadong malalim…di ko maarok!
there i s a season for every activity under heaven; there is a reason behind everything that transpires…but most of the time the reason unfolds at it’s own sweet time…
God knows what’s best for you Sasha, all the best…whatever is the cause of your heartbreak. I don’t wanna read between the lines, baka malungkot din ako. he he.

Dexie: That’s so sweet of you. Thanks. Are you suggesting we Skype? I appreciate the hug.

*hugs* I understand. It’s really painful. Allow yourself sometime to feel the loss then as always life goes on. Even if you might not want to hear this now, I’ve learned that something good always comes out of any loss. Hope you find it or it finds you.

Noemi: Thanks for the hug, too. I will exert extra effort in finding the good in all of these perhaps it would speed up the process of finding me. I appreciate you.
Dexie: Aw, shucks. I will. Thanks for offering. Much appreciated.

Yikes! Sounds bad ha.
Well, it’s hard pero all I can tell you it’s better to think about the “glass” as “half-full.” Life usually has a way of turning things for the better. Getting over a heartbreak sucks, but it’s really how you will handle it that matters.

Hi Sasha,
Your post made my heart ache.
I am not really the best person to give advise on this matter, but let me share with you the concept of a certain tarot card called “Death.”. To some, it looks scary, but really, death could connote rebirth, or change, something better and bright. There is always the light at the end of the tunnel .

My heart’s broken. But I can still love again. I’m glad for that. =(
