You Can Heal Your Heart: Finding Peace After a Breakup, Divorce, or Death

This book spoke volumes to my grieving heart. In 9 months I unexpectedly lost my husband, my father and my mother. I am a nurse who has dealt with the loss of many patients and was present to help my three loved ones transition to heaven which takes courage. This book showed me that it is possible to heal and to continue to affirm that life is for me, not against me. I am overflowing with love after soaking in the compassionate words in this book. I am committed to sharing all that I have learned through this experience of loss with my patients and family members. Blessings be upon you as you read this book.

I lost my wife of 42 years to leukemia five months ago. For four months I was in a very dark and painful place. At 2:30 a.m. I heard the author describing the book on an all-night radio program. I downloaded the eBook version to my Kindle and read the entire book in four hours. I bought the book because I heard the author say that it was ok to be sad and miss your loved one - but you can grieve without suffering. I was suffering - unnecessarily as I was to discover. It was my own negative thoughts that were routinely driving me into a painful downward spiral of self pity and bad memories.After reading the book I have been able to employ some of the self-help recommendations to completely turn things around in my life. The book was so beneficial for me that I purchased two hard cover books to give to both of my sons. I have never recommended any other book on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter. However, in this case I highly recommend this book to anyone that is suffering due to a traumatic life event, especially the loss of a loved one.Since the authors made their points by recounting the stories of real life clients, this was a real easy read. One will easily be able to relate to the scenarios developed in this work. I hope this recommendation will help others find the same peace that I have as a result of having read and implemented the insights provided in You Can Heal Your Heart.

Great for a perspective shift. Very good read. Recommended.

This wonderful book really maps out the steps to healing grief, in any form.As a licensed psychotherapist, this book is going to be recommend to many of my clients as I’ve found it to be so helpful in my own life.David Kessler is an absolute master on the topic of grief and I was blessed to have met the delightful Louise Hay in person several years back.There is so much to be gained by reading this book and it is very relatable; a truly timeless classic!

I came to this book as a young woman who struggled to get over romantic relationships & as someone who had just lost 2 older relatives in quick succession. I'm not affiliated with the publisher or authors but I heard about the book on the social media page of another author named Marianne Williamson who writes in a similar vein and who my counselor recommended. I really enjoyed "You Can Heal Your Heart" because it was a quick, easy read (as I am a busy working professional, like so many others!) but had simple and straightforward advice and affirmations that I think really applied to my situation. The book contains quite a few anecdotes of men and women who were in unhealthy thought patterns and/or struggling to overcome challenging life-situations, and how the use of positive psychology helped them (but the book makes no claim that this is the only answer). I'm easily able to pick up the book when I need to and find a page or two to read to remind myself that I really do have the tools to heal my heart, even though it may not be immediate or painless.

This book is simply incredible. I read the entire book, not every single thing/event/situation applied to my life circumstances at this moment but the skills and tools used for dealing with these situations are invaluable. The art of using positive affirmations and coming from a positive point of view in living your life to the fullest or your best and highest good is an incredibly empowering thought. These concepts and ideas are not something we are taught in our society and upbringing. It is time to catch up on what we missed. Some of the issues dealt with in this book are things that are times taboo to discuss or things that we should sweep under the rug, wash our hands of, and be over it asap. When you read this book you are going to feel a sense of calm wash over your heart as you absorb priceless skills that are going to change the way you look some of the hardest life circumstances you can come across like: death, miscarriages, divorce, the loss of a child, etc. This book is worth it, you will not regret this purchase, you can never go wrong with investing in yourself. I recommend this book to you, because you deserve it.

I especially enjoyed the first two chapters. If for some reason, I did not have time to read the entire book, I could have benefited from just the first two chapters which set the tone and provided important tools which the reader gets to use and reuse throughout the rest of the book and become proficient using. BUT READ the entire book.These two awesome folks give us many new ways of looking at, thinking about, and talking about the ending of relationships and marriages. So so so important to most of us.For many years, I did not understand my friends' attachment to their pets. One day, I remembered why. When I was eleven, my dog was given away rather abruptly, and no one walked me through that grief process, and on some levels, I "hated" pets for a long time after that. There is a wonderful chapter in this book about pets and the importance of grieving their loss."You Can Heal Your Heart...." is a very easy and fast read, which is always HELPFUL in a self-help book. Buy it NOW. I will reread this "work" over and over again, and so will you.Thank You, David and Louise.

This book will always have profound effect on me. Love you Louise Hay and David Kessler. It was indeed life changing.🌿

This is a gem of a book, with wonderful advice from a world-acclaimed healer. Whether you've undergone a separation, divorce or lost a loved one, Louise Hay helps you to discover the love for yourself as a way of healing. Once you learn to really love yourself, you can then really love someone else. When you lose a loved one through death or separation, she helps you to find your inner strength and start afresh. It gives you hope for a better future no matter what. Well worth it.....

Het boek leest heel vlot : het is doorspekt met concrete verhalen en velen ervan zijn erg herkenbaar. Het maakt het makkelijker om een aantal ervaringen te plaatsen. En hetgeen me vooral aanspreekt is de positieve boodschap 'everything happens for a reason'

Confronting yet gentle and inspirational. Will recommend this book to all those I know dealing with a loss of some kind.

This book will change your whole perspective about loss and grief.Must buy this one if you want the peace of mind
