Introducing Healing For The Broken Heart — A Trilogy

I want to share something with you that has been close to my heart for a long time. Today I am introducing Healing For The Broken Heart — a trilogy I wrote for anyone who has ever loved deeply and lost, and wondered how on earth they would ever feel whole again. If that is you, or someone you love, then these books were written with you in mind.

I did not set out to write a trilogy. I set out to answer a question I kept hearing across kitchen tables and quiet conversations, asked through tears by good people whose worlds had come apart. How do I survive this? Healing For The Broken Heart is my honest, plain-spoken answer — not from a tower of theory, but from the same human ground where the rest of us stand when love falls apart.

The trilogy walks the same hard road from three different doorways. The first book, Why HE Doesn’t Love You Anymore, sits beside the woman trying to understand a love that quietly slipped away, and the deep sense of betrayal that so often comes with it. The second, Why She Doesn’t Love You Anymore, turns that same honest light toward the man left holding a broken heart he may not have the words for.

The third book, Why MOMMY and DADDY Don’t Love Each Other Anymore: It’s Not Your Fault, is different and, in many ways, the closest to my heart. It is a guide for the parents, grandparents, and family who love a child caught in the middle of a home coming apart — a child whose deepest loss is not love, but the sense of security that home was supposed to be. Together, these three books form one journey of healing for the broken heart, told from every side of the same story.

 

Healing for the Broken Heart:

 

Why a trilogy, and not a single book? Because heartbreak is never one-size-fits-all. A woman grieving a marriage carries something different from the man who feels the floor drop out beneath him, and both are worlds apart from the little one who just wants to know if they did something wrong. Healing for the broken heart has to meet each person where they actually stand. Three doorways, one path home.

I wrote all three the only way I know how to write — the way two friends talk over coffee when the night is long, and the heart is heavy. There is no clinical distance here, no lecturing, no pretending I have never been knocked flat myself. Just plain words, a steady hand, and a promise I believe with everything in me: broken lives can find a way back.

That promise is the thread running through every chapter of Healing For The Broken Heart. Grief is real, and it deserves to be named. Letting go is hard, and it takes more courage than people realize. But on the far side of all of it, there is something waiting that heartbreak tries to convince us we will never feel again. There is joy. There is healing in life’s sunrise.

Maybe you are reading this in the middle of your own hard season, and the idea of healing feels a long way off. I understand. I have stood in that exact spot, certain the ache would never lift. But I have also lived long enough, and walked beside enough hurting people, to tell you the truth with a steady voice: it does lift. Healing For The Broken Heart was written to walk that distance with you, one honest page at a time, until the morning you realize you are breathing easier than you were.

You can explore the trilogy, read more about each book, and follow the journey of healing for the broken heart over at Calico GOLD Books. The series is published through Calico GOLD Publishing, and in the days ahead, the first two books will be available for readers ready to begin the walk back. Wherever you are in your own story tonight, I hope these words find you — and I hope they help.

With you on the road,

James C. Tanner
