Healing a Wounded Heart: A Journey to Wholeness, Freedom & Joy

By Elizabeth Ruth Heuer

For more than 50 years Heuer carried the pain of loneliness and a nagging need for affection and affirmation. She lived through an abusive childhood, rape, attempted suicide and spent time in a mental health institution, lost two children and left a marriage of twenty-eight years. Heuer healed her wounded heart through addressing seven core issues or "hurts": fear, guilt, shame, grief, loneliness, wearing a mask and attachment. These seven "puzzle pieces" provide the roadmap to integrate a divided life into a whole person. Each of the units in this book outlines one of the seven core issues of a wounded heart, accompanied by several stories from Heuer's life that describe how the hurt negatively impacted her. She then offers experiences that enabled her to heal that hurt, and ultimately her heart. This book encourages you to claim and speak your story, to engage your heart as well as your mind, and to turn inward to find the gifts you seek.
