Imagine it’s 3 AM, and you’re lying awake, haunted by an aching emptiness. Your heart pounds, lodged somewhere between your chest and your throat, as you long for someone to offer guidance on your broken heart.

Well-meaning friends say things like, “Just give it time,” or “Stay busy, you’ll get past this,” yet their words feel hollow.
