Pump your Heart

A heart is a wonderful thing, it brings life to your body. When we suffer from grief it can struggle, I know I have even felt that I have had to concentrate on breathing at times! I think we should cherish our heart..I think we should help it during the time when it is hurting. Treat it like you would a friend! 
P = Protect it. Protect it through strengthening it via exercise….even a gentle walk.
U = Understand it needs some time to cope with the bereavement, let it talk….talking allows it to diffuse the emotion.
M = Motivate it by giving it hope for the future. Allow it to dream again of happiness. It needs to believe in the future…..the future will ring new challenges, new inspiration….new ways of happiness.
P = Promise yourself that you cherish it. Your heart allows you to live and love. You may have lost the love of your life but your heart is still capable of loving others….future partners and also friends and family. Promise yourself that you will never lose that ability.
