In a great show of self-respect and personal dignity, she elected to end it rather than tolerate being less than fully embraced.”įind The Wisdom of a Broken Heart at Amazon for $14.83, Barnes & Noble for $15.27, Indiebound, or your local library. Relatable Quote: “When the one you love does not choose you on the deepest level, although he may actually love you in his own (bizarre) way, the pain of not being chosen is too much to bear. It was comforting to be spoken to directly by someone wise yet vulnerable - a mentor-aunt-counselor type who professes no magic cure. I downloaded it to my Kindle the day of my breakup and had a nice commiserating cry through the first few chapters. It is both deeply philosophical and practical and ends with a seven-day self-imposed retreat of sorts to help you process everything.
