I loved the combination of memoir with fact / studies / information. What a great way to tell a story and teach important concepts and principles.

I enjoyed studying the topic of heartbreak, being on the other side and working through some more recent grief. I learned a lot and solidified some things i already knew.

What a story of grief! I can't imagine being so heartbroken for so long, for so many years over something that is less of a devastation for the majority of the population.

As others reviewers have stated, at what point do the emails, mail and texts become harassment..... I questioned Sam's sanity as well. Why didn't he change his number? Return to sender? Did by just keep accepting everything the author threw at him? How could he have moved in in life with these bombardments coming at him, out of the blue with some regularity? Of course the author never told us his response, only that there was no response from Sam. I'm sure if he had returned to sender, she would have said as much. Sam is a better man than I (and I'm not a man). I am so curious as to his response to the book!

You are definitely going to "Feel" this book. It's heartwrenching ..made me sad reading it at first.
Alot of the researched information I found myself skipping over just wasn't my cup of tea..but her writing and her own story is well written. We have all been through heartache. I think that's why this book has the "feels", makes you remember lost lives, and how you reacted and finally realization that you can go on.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for an early release of this book.

When the heart is broken, life doesn't make sense anymore. The body stops to function normally and rebel against the harm that was done to the heart. The one who goes through the broken heart does not know what happened, it is a shock to the body. However, the author of this book gives hope to the reader to recover from the chaos in their life. Through her own experience, the author shares the healing process one has to go through to come to peace with the event that happened in their life. Laura Pratt, the author, says it is a process and one has to be patient, courageous and determined to get their life back. It is a very good book to read if one wants to understand what happens when the heart is broken. Hope you find comfort reading this book.

This book contains so much heartache, but so much love as well. It would be impossible to feel that kind of loss without a great love to begin with. Laura bears her heart to us, her readers, and takes us on a journey of learning to live with that heartbreak.

The little bits of research interspersed throughout give relief to the raw emotion and I think also give some hope for a way to move through loss. This book would touch the hearts of anyone who has either suffered an emotional breakup, or lost someone through death.

Very powerful book.
