This was Week 1 of the From Heartache to Your Heart’s Desires Telesummit. It has been a week filled with details: emails, interviews, technology issues. And it has been a week filled with miracles, too! Being able to connect with people all over the world (over 1500, so far) and share a message of love, healing, hope, and the promise of new beginnings has been – while at times overwhelming – a beautiful journey!
Heartache is not the most “fun” topic to discuss. When a relationship ends, due to a breakup, divorce, or death, or when it begins to unravel, the pain is real. As the experts who have been sharing on the telesummit have said, there are real physical effects to the heart, nervous system, and other parts of our bodies; there are emotional effects in the form of anger, sadness, confusion, and disappointment; as well as the grieving of the hopes and dreams we had envisions for ourselves. There’s no doubt about it: The pain of heartache is real.
What’s optional, however, is suffering.
It would be strange and unnatural to invest your time, attention, and love and then not feel anything when it’s over. But suffering is a choice. You can either choose to stay in the grief, the anger, the resentment, or you can choose to acknowledge it, allow yourself to feel it, and then let it go. You can choose to close off your heart – shutting out any possibility of giving and receiving love – or you can choose to step beyond what feels safe and allow love to flow to and through you.
But how do you begin to let go of the suffering so that you can begin to live and love again?
Well, if you’ve been participating in the telesummit, you’ve heard different experts share a variety of ways to begin moving beyond the fear and pain and moving toward a new future filled with the possibility of love!
- Julie-Anne Shapiro shared how to bring love and forgiveness to your inner child and about making a Soul Commitment to having the love your heart desires.
- Julie Ferman spoke of being present and approaching dating and love as a journey.
- Stephan Gonnick walked us through exercises to move through the three universal blocks that keep us from experiencing love.
- Marni Battista explained how we can avoid the #1 relationship killer: the need to be right.
- Jennifer Grace shared some daily practices that will help us begin to heal and discover the love that’s already inside of us.
- Laura Doyle talked about how to avoid the four major mistakes women make when it comes to creating a loving relationship.
- Marcy Neumann shared how it’s in letting go that we can let love in.
- Charles J. Orlando explained how we can kill the endless cycle of unfulfilling relationships.
- And, today, Jennifer Hadley shares how we can “unbreak” our hearts; and
- Debi Berndt and Dr. Roberto Maldonado share how to create “conscious chemistry,” rather than falling into the trap of unconscious “default” relationship patterns.
And this is just in the first 5 days of the telesummit! We still have another 8 days to go!
Here’s what some participants are saying:
What an incredible interview with Julie-Anne Shapiro! I loved the part where she encouraged us to visualize our inner child and “provide her with what her heart desires”! That was a huge AHA for me! I was actually able to see the inner child in me…now I think I have an idea of what she desires. 🙂 Thank you again you Gladys Diaz for the incredible messages during the telesummit! I am so excited!!! ~ D
Thank you so much for putting this program together. It’s been wonderful so far. I am sure the rest will be fabulous, too.
Thanks to all of your guests and especially to Laura Doyle for her great generosity in giving this huge gift to this sweet community. ~ M
Thanks so much for putting all of these tele-interviews together, keep up the good work.
I just felt I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the talk with Marcy Neumann – wow! Everything she said just echoed so deeply within me, it all made so much sense, I kept taking notes and re-listening to some of the parts. She has so much wisdom to share.
Thank you again.
It was lovely today, and it will help me to take one step at a time to figure out where my GPS is going to lead me, but I must identify that myself too. ~ L in Austria
I am trying to get the whole world to join in. It’s amazing! ~ Y

Heart ache is painful. I have had my share. Twice in fact. The second time I wanted to take comfort in knowing that it would pass like the first. But it was worse. I was older and had invested in this one. A wise little sister told me to think about how long I was going to feel this suffering and what would be next. Anger if course is next up the ladder. How long until I wanted to move from anger. I gave myself a time line. It worked for me. I allowed myself to feel what was happening but not to get caught in the suffering. That was not my choice. Sounds like a great program. I would have loved to have known then what I know now. Glad there is support for those who want it. Nicely done ladies 🙂
Thanks for sharing that with me, Kate. You’re right, heartache is painful. It’s one of the risks we take in love. I tell my clients that, while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We don’t have to stay “stuck” in the pain and anger. We can choose to work through it, which is what it sounds like you did!:) Thanks so much for your encouragement!
Gladys,
Congrats on your telesummit. This jumped of the page: What’s optional, however, is suffering. That is so true but when one if feeling hurt that is the one thing that often we don’t see. I feel so blessed to have a beautiful, loving relationship of almost 25 years- so blessed
Thanks so much, Suzie! It’s true that it’s not easy to see that “suffering” is optional. That doesn’t mean we don’t feel and work through the pain. Just that we choose not to stay there, unwilling to learn the lessons there are to learn and move forward to the life and love that is waiting for us! 🙂 Wishing you continued happiness!
Your telesumit sounds amazing. After recent deaths in my family, I can really relate to heartbreak with death. Love that you’re talking about grieving without suffering.
Thank you so much Shannon. I am sorry for your loss and pray that you find peace and comfort.
Gladys thank you for your passion to outreach to women like me. You have great resources. I know these tools to forgive past heartbreaks will give each one of us space in our hearts to fill with more of my current relationship. Please sign me up for your. Prerecorded sessions I have missed.
Thanks, Julie! I appreciate your encouraging words! All you need to do is go to http://www.heartachetoheartsdesires.com and sign up. Then confirm your email address so that you can access the interviews right away! 🙂
To “feel” and then “let go” . . . I don’t know why but they are two of the hardest steps to becoming whole again.
Elise,
It can feel like 2 difficult steps… Mostly because we have to let to of the unmet expectations, dreams, and ideas we had about what might be. But consider that you are already complete — nothing missing…nothing to fix. You are whole, perfect, and complete and just need to work through the pain. There is love and peace on the other side of the pain. 🙂 (((HUG)))
