Unbreak My Heart

Shelia is from New York and moved to Portland, Oregon in her mid-20's. She was unsure of her sexual orientation, maybe she was bi-sexual or maybe she was a lesbian? When she landed in Portland, she started dating and eventually found herself in a legal domestic partnership with "Bug".

As much as they loved each other, they weren't able to overcome some unhealthy dynamics. Her partner was an alcoholic and frequent marijuana user. Shelia was arrested with the fear of abandonment and eventually they couldn't find themselves on the same page.

It's been months and Shelia is stuck. She doesn't really want to let go, yet, she believes it's what's next. Listen as we discover some ways to navigate through the pressure and grief of letting go.

Heartache is a combination of grief, sorrow, loss, confusion, anxiety and so much more. When you have heartache, what do you hear about moving forward? Maybe it's your voice or the voice of others saying "move on" and "let go" - but how do you move on from the memories and the moments that shaped you?

Listen to Nora as she shares about her grief with heaviness and humor. She learned the lesson that you don't move on from grief, you move forward with it. Be encouraged, you are doing great and this too shall pass!
