Though at times it may seem impossible, we can heal with help from our friends and community if we know how to ask. This heartrending, relatable account of one woman s reckoning with loss is a guide to the world of self-recovery, self-love, and the skills necessary to meeting one's own needs in these times of pain especially when that pain is suffered alone.

Drawing on hundreds of counseling sessions she's conducted with women at all stages of recovery, the author developed a proven three-phase process for healing from a breakup.
