Did you know that you could die of a broken heart? It is possible that the real
reason is from spending too much time dwelling on the past and not enough time focused
on the present and the future. The future is yours to define, you just have take deliberate
steps to reshape your tomorrow. Your future is in your hands. Jesus said, “I have come
that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” Do you want to accept abundant
life or do you want to live in the past?
The question that is before us is, how do you heal a broken heart? First, remembering is essential. Remember the life, if it applies, the illness, the death and the
burial of the deceased. Spent time in informal and formal settings remembering. Next,
deal with any unfinished business. The best way to do this is write a letter to the
deceased, sharing good times and bad times. Don’t expect an answer. Instead, expect that
just expressing content and feelings will lift a burden.
Thirdly, reshaping life is your goal for this process. Find ways to complete the tasks that used to be completed by the
deceased. Then make a five-year strategic plan for your life that may include work,
fun/travel, family, friends and church. Start with your Vision and Mission. Your vision
should be broad and could continue past your lifetime. Your mission should be
achievable within your five-year plan. Next. Goals, then Activities to complete goals and
finally, Evaluation that tells how you will know when you have completed your goals.
Consider adding sections on Challenges and Obstacles. There are more complex models
for strategic plans that you can Google. The point is that it is time to heal your broken
heart. Healing your broken heart could be your finally gift to your deceased loved one.
Consider that the first four letters in Health is Heal!
