‘We, the Heartbroken reckons with loss and grief’s fullness and its surprising abilities to make us alive to one another … entranced by one another again. We are called upon to do this work, to allow for heartbreak to engender capaciousness and collectivity.’ — Full Stop‘Heartbreak pushes us down a crossroads where we get stuck in a contradiction: one where what we need does not align with what we want … Gargi somehow achieves a balance within this contradiction … until the hesitation of accepting heartbreak becomes a trusty companion to move forward with.’ — National Survivor User Network blog
