💔 25 phrases to mend a broken heart (especially your own)...❤️‍🩹

When we feel grief as a child and our caregivers are absent or unable to comfort us through presence or reassuring words, we grow up searching for someone else to “say the right words” to us.

The “right words” are often the things we wish our caregivers could have said to us instead of shaming, blaming or reprimanding us.

Many times when we feel heart-broken or lonely, it is our heart yearning for our own compassionate attention.

What if we could bypass that search for another to say these “right words” and become “the one we have been waiting for?”

Here are 25 phrases that have the power to mend a broken heart…whether it is your child, your inner child or a lonely traveler that has crossed your path.
