This talk is about why it is important to make meaning of romantic relational heartbreak. Sarah thinks that suffering is inevitable and can be intrinsically isolating; in spite of this, she argues that there is a sense of solidarity between heartbroken people. Heartbreak can seem trivial, but it isn't. Instead, it is an essential feeling and experience that allows for us to sense our own strength overcoming our heartbreak. It allows for unique personal growth and a test-run to make meaning of our own sorrows and suffering.
