Valentin's Diary

How do you recover from a devastating heartbreak, otherwise known as broken heart syndrome? The sufferer experiences heart pain, shortness of breath and even thinks he may be dying. Do you give in to overwhelming grief? Or do you, like the author, have personal dialogues with God searching for insight?

In the beginning there is denial and bargaining: "God, here is my game plan. If it be Your will, let me have Liliana... and I will give her back to you." Then anger and bitterness. "What's wrong with me God? I hate this. Why can't you just snap your fingers and make it happen?

Finally, acceptance. The long six-year journey to recovery is over. The reader will not only learn about God's plan for the author, but will learn something about God's divine purpose in their lives as well.
