Finding hope is redemption. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.
After enduring a year and a half of an abusive situationship, harboring dreams of commitment, marriage, and a family, not knowing where my life was heading, and after multiple failed suicide attempts, my life seemed in tatters. I grieved with pain and loss of my own self after subjecting myself to the most draining situation. Here I was with one of my new love interests, not knowing what to do, and even afraid to ask for commitment out of fear of rejection and loss.
I came up with the idea of exploring one of my past interests: reading. I hadn’t visited a library in ages due to the pandemic and not wanting to step out of my comfort zone. Something specific caught my attention while perusing heaps of books, ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ by Louise Hay. Healing – that’s something everyone yearns for, and being a 20-year-old university student with no job and money, it was just what I needed.
One of the quotes that intrigued me the most is:
“A broken heart is also an open heart. Whatever the circumstances, when you love someone and your time together ends, you will naturally feel pain. The pain of losing a person you love is part of life, part of this journey, but suffering doesn’t have to be. Although it’s natural to forget your power after you lose a loved one, the truth is that after a breakup, divorce, or death, there remains an ability within you to create a new reality.”

Hay’s life story is nothing short of inspiring. She faced unimaginable hardships from a young age, including abuse and early motherhood. Despite these challenges, she went on to become a highly successful and influential figure in the field of self-help and healing. Her journey from a traumatic past to becoming a renowned author and motivational speaker is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity for resilience and transformation.
The essence of Hay’s teaching is about self-love, empowerment, and the profound impact our thoughts have on our lives. Her emphasis on positive affirmations and the power of changing our beliefs resonated with me. One of her key messages, that “your thoughts really do create your experiences,” holds a profound truth.
Reading ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ has reminded me that healing is possible even in the most challenging times. It’s not about denying pain but about changing our perspective and finding renewal in the face of grief and loss.
