Finding Your Self at the Heartbreak Hotel by Alice Huddon & Ruth Field
Alice Haddon, psychologist of over twenty-five years, and Ruth Field, bestselling self-help author, show us how we can dissect heartbreaks, mine them for strength and live our most empowered life. They also examine how society sets up women to fall into love traps and engage bad habits of self-sacrificing and enabling.
Everyone’s personal experience over a breakup or other loss might be different. But scientists say our bodily responses are pretty much the same. More from Sky News: https://flip.it/oU2Ckz #Science#Pain#Heartbreak
"This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind
She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away
She disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing"
Anna Begins has been a breakup song for me since my first really serious girlfriend introduced me to August and Everything After. Counting Crows were one of the first "soft" bands I learned to appreciate thanks to her influence, along with The Cranberries.
I serenaded my wife with Anna Begins while we were courting, so singing it is a good acid test of how well my broken heart is healing. Today I only cried a little, maybe more out of sentimentality than heartbreak. Progress!
Never forget the consequences of war. Normandy Beach, beautiful in an eerie way. This is wreckage left on the beach and then this was where 1000s lost their lives. Blood seeping deep into the sand. Strange standing here.
Found a new word published in the May 2023 @highcountrynews. "Endling" which is "the final lonely member of a species on the brink." Specifically used about the Behren's silverspot butterfly in California.
I've known we needed such a word for a long time but it feels particularly poignant to actually find it and see it being used.
