There was this cute little short story I read somewhere online of a wife talking to a dying husband. The wife asked her husband how she was ever going to live without him. On his death bed, he responded to her "Take the love you have for me and spread it around".
And oh my goodness, I've finally realized that that is also the biblical way to self-healing. The way to heal a broken heart is to love - love God, love yourself, love others, and take that love that you feel is supposedly broken and supposedly lost and continue to out-love whatever bitterness, hatred, confusion, and anger the world throws at you. As you continue to seek Jesus Christ you'll realize the need to open your heart up to Him and to others who genuinely care - as loving requires just that - and God will have the truth revealed to you about whatever it is that is truly hurting you and whatever it is that you really need and want. Yes, it will be a painful process, but with this strength of love that you've now found in Christ, you can now use it to love others who need it. And just keep loving because it's literally what makes the world go round and what gives us breath.
Like the small light from a candle lighting up a dark room, love will always beat apathy and hatred. Love never fails and love has already won.
