Thank you for what you wrote. I don't have a magic wand for heartbreak, but I do want to share a word on receiving grace. For decades my ego derided that it needed such a thing. When I eventually had enough pain, had lost enough psychic blood, my brain actually took in some of what my ears heard. Especially Richard Rohr's work. When I finally accepted - not "intellectually knew", not "admitted" - accepted that I was merely human, and being human was all that I was ever going to be able to be, not only did a great weight lift but I could feel grace all around me. Like air you breathe in. No work required.
You will have your own path. Whatever the route, "May The Force be with You".
