Status Updates From Soulbroken: A Guidebook for...

‘Just as Newton’s third law of motion states that every action creates an equal and opposite reaction, so, too, love creates an equal and opposite reaction: grief. Or said another way, the depth of our grief is equal and opposite to the love we have. It is an equal and opposite law of motion and reaction’.

‘But when we lose someone we love and we also lose a part of ourselves, it’s something more. When who we have lost is so deeply connected to who we are, when we are inextricably linked not only to a person but to our connection to them, the loss of our relationship is often a loss of our own self. That is why such loss stretches beyond being heartbroken to being soul broken.’

‘The commonality was that they were all grieving the loss of a loved one still living, feeling alienated and longing to understand.’
