Sarah Avant Stover’s handbook points out that there are many diverse paths to healing after heartbreak. Many people have experienced suffering during and following COVID, and she had added burdens, including health issues, unemployment and betrayal(s) to navigate around the same time. Her insights, acquired through making meaning out of her own suffering, and insights gained with her therapeutic work as an Internal Family Systems counselor, are immensely helpful. Her openness to unconventional practices, mixed with more traditional 12-step based higher power beliefs, were intriguing. Her openness to trying diverse paths should help many find what works for them as they emerge from the fog of hopelessness.. She shows the way toward forgiving others by first forgiving herself. If you have a broken heart, and are searching for ways to be whole once more, this is an inspiring and compassionate guide out of the darkness into wisdom and light. Her simple suggestion “ask for help” can be the beginning of a new life.
