3 Blogs to Help Heal Your Heart

Heartache comes in many forms

As Valentine's Day approaches, and many will receive or have already received flowers, balloons and so on, many others will receive nothing but heartache.
There will be break-ups, there will be family struggles, there will be self-pitty and self-loathing. So, for those of you who experience these emotions and situations, and perhaps feel Valentine's Day is a sham, I have found these blog posts about how to pull yourselves up and not take it so hard.
For those of you who have found happiness and don't understand why others feel hatred toward Valentine's day or love in general, I hope these posts can help you understand why some simply need a little healing.
