Oh wow, I should obviously pay more attention when I comment on things, my apologies! Anyway, I seriously enjoyed the book, and would love to read one with a more buddhist slant

I’m 4 months off a long term breakup, one book I found that really helped me was called “The Wisdom of a Broken Heart” it had a slight buddhist slant too it, but I definitely would be interested in reading something with an even more buddhist perspective.
Either way it might be a good research resource for you to start with.
Good luck!

I was so glad to read this. I love how you present Buddhism. I’m reading this book and How not to be Afraid of Your Own Life. Thank you so much for writing these. I think I may have finally found my calling in Shambhala Buddhism. My last relationship was with a narcissist i was in love with for almost two years. Now I understand what was happening. I’ve even started to pray for him because he will never know happiness the way he is and I feel sorry for him. And my wounded broken heart is healing. I feel fearless now. I survived what should have been a devistating blow with grace and dignity and courage. This article has helped me so much. Thank you so much for this website. I’m now a regular here

I am officially 3 months into a breakup, (boooo) and I’ve been looking to everyone and everything to help make sense of these feelings. One Sunday after a particularly annoying dream, I woke up and immediately googled, “Buddhism Broken Heart” and found your blog entry about your own break-up experience. It meant sooo much to me, so dead on to what I was experiencing…that day I went to my first Buddhist meditation class and I’m definitely finding my stride again. I’m not saying the pits are ever too far away, but I can finally breathe again, and that is a huge step.

This morning before work I went to read that again and found this new entry!! Susan, write that book. And you make those people publish it;)
