The cutting, witty Golden Lady manages to save her socially, but more importantly, protected her heart. While my best friend watched John Hughes movies with me and cajoled me into getting out of the apartment by signing us up for kickboxing classes, Sarah is taken under the wing of Lady Phillippa Worth (of Revealed fame) and ruthlessly promoted as and transformed into the Golden Lady. While Sarah Forrester might have had a slightly different version of the first two stages (I picture her with bread pudding and ratafia instead of ice cream and wine) she mirrored me in the next two stages perfectly. Steps 3&4: Best Friend Support and Re-Focus on Self After that, you start to indulge too much in chocolate and alcohol-induced revenge fantasies, and that helps no one. Note: steps 1 and 2 are allowed to last for 48 hours, tops. And wine, in a controlled setting, helps with expression of said emotions. You cannot face your emotions on an empty stomach. In the immediate aftermath of heartbreak, you need the energy provided by such calorie-dense foods as ice cream.
I can say with confidence that there are five steps to getting over a broken heart: ice cream, wine, best friend support, re-focus on self, and finally, acceptance.
But as the details of the object of my heartbreak – his face, our conversations – faded with time, I will never forget the effort it took to get over the loss of what could have been. It was the only way she could get over her broken heart.Ĭonfession time: I’ve had my heart broken in the past. The answer is far simpler: Sarah Forrester changed because she had to.
What, you may ask, precipitated such a change? Did she win the regency version of the lottery? Was she suddenly discovered as a sparkling wit, a literary leader, or some other object of fascination? Or worse yet, had she not actually cared at all about her ex-fiancé? She is at the top of every gossip column and thrilling in the adventure that is life. In fact, she is the vivacious life of the party, the Golden Lady. But she is not broken-hearted any longer. Miss Sarah Forrester is that broken-hearted miss, and If I Fall is her story.
