It is not easy , that we know for sure . We know that if we try to use the wrong tools to mend and fix that broken heart surely we will fail. We tend heal our hearts with music, meditation , sports , exercise , trying to find some life advice on how to deal with the situation and to an extent one resorts to sins because they feel it might help them get over the heartbreak.
