Broken Hearts

“When those you love deeply reject you, leave you, or die, your heart will be broken. 

But that should not hold you back from loving deeply. 

The pain that comes from deep love makes your love ever more fruitful.” 

Henri Nouwen

Take a Word asked for HEARTS and I got myself wondering about this universal pain, after all who has never had a broken heart?
