Recovering From a Broken Heart: Expressing the Pain Through Writing

Recovering from a broken heart is not easy. If you have recently been through a hard breakup with someone you love, you are probably trying to find ways to ease the pain. You may have tried everything you can think of to get over the pain of heartache, including spending a lot of time alone, talking to friends, watching love story-themed movies, or reading books about the topic of heartache.

If it has been a while since the breakup and you feel like the pain you are feeling is not going away fast enough, here are some tips are some tips for getting over heartache.

An important first step for getting over a broken heart (or any unhappy occurrence in your life) is to simply face the pain directly. While avoiding the reality of what you are going through may seem like the easier path, in the long run you are only making it harder on yourself. So, face up to whatever painful situation you are going through – doing so is essential for your healing.

A great way to work through your pain is to write a poem or song about your heartache. Doing so can help you deal with your painful feelings when you have broken up with someone special.

You do not have to be a poet – or even a writer – to write a broken-heart love poem or song. Remember, nobody else has to read what you write. It is intended for you and you alone. Just write down your feelings and thoughts. Be as honest as possible with yourself about what you are really feeling. Just write in plain English: there is no need to try to emulate the great romantic poets of past centuries or otherwise sound impressive.

Hint: to really express yourself effectively, just write the way you talk. Let it flow out of you. You may be surprised at just how easy it can be. For example, start by writing one long paragraph filled with all your feelings and everything you want to express, just to get it out. You can always go back later and re-arrange your words into a poem or a song.

Once you have written your poem about having a broken heart, feel free to go even deeper into your feelings. Try writing another song or poem. The point is to express yourself as you really feel now. That is all that matters – not the quality of the words on the page.

If you do decide to share your poem or song with others as a means of recovering from a broken heart, by all means do not be shy. Or, if you want, you can even publish it online. There are sites made for just that type of thing. You could choose to post it anonymously, or you could choose to associate your name with it if that feels right.

Remember, getting over heartache is all about the process of moving through the pain. Expressing your feelings on paper can be a great release.
