I found her sitting at the breakfast table in a familiar pose; head down, hair falling forward, hands in her lap - withdrawn. Sighing in frustration at myself, I served cereal, milk, and coffee for myself. Her silence was loud. A broken soul will always feel they don't meet expectations. They'll feel like they aren't good or worthy enough.

Another breakthrough came with shopping. I needed more frozen meals and vodka. In an unusual move for me, without understanding why, I asked, "Would you like to come shopping with me?" Sitting on the leather couch with her feet up on the cushion, Lucy had a magazine on her knees, her brow slightly furrowed as she read. Having a broken soul is an invisible storm, a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It feels like you’re dead inside but alive on the outside when really your just hiding from life. You never feel safe, even in your own bed. It’s not about making sense of it all. It’s about finding a way to cope with it all and understanding that pain makes you stronger. Having a broken soul is like being naked. You feel vulnerable and exposed, but you also feel the urge to allow others to see the real you.I watched her drive out through the open, rusted gates. A chilly autumn gust blew in the dreary twilight. Dried leaves rustled across the cobblestone driveway. Grey clouds scudded overhead threatening a cold rain shower. In my 29 years, I have experienced three strokes, entered rehab, walked a country, retired once and had a slew of hook ups. A broken soul is a dangerous thing. It can break you apart and make you feel hopeless. It can make you feel that no one cares about you. When that happens, you need to realize that there are people who will always be there for you and cheer you on, no matter what happens. However… It’s impossible to not respect the quality of all the musicians involved on “Broken Souls” and Del Vecchio’s impeccable production work, as usual. But, of course, the main accolades go to the great melodic singer James Robledo, who made his way from South America to all around the world through his own merits. I only hope that Robledo’s third album might come with a real soul inside it.

Opening her shoulder bag, she pulled out a sheaf of papers and consulted them. She took her time, eventually commenting, "It says here that the welfare department has inspected your home and found you fit to be Lucy's guardian." She looked at me as if expecting an answer, skepticism clear in her expression.Having a broken soul is like having a ball of lead in your stomach. You’re tired, miserable, and tired of being tired. Life can get so overwhelming when you feel this way that you don’t even want to wake up in the morning. If you let yourself stay down long enough, it will kill you. Having a broken soul is like being a prisoner in your own mind. You can’t escape because you are surrounded by the fog of sadness that covers everything. It’s like living in a bottomless pit with no way out. Our relationship changed completely with that one kiss. It wasn't discussed. We didn't dissect it. We just changed. A broken soul is a person whose soul is exhausted, lost and destroyed. They are unable to be at peace and calm. A broken soul can not concentrate on anything else but the fact that they have a broken soul. They feel like they will never be able to live normally or be happy again until they find a way to get rid of their broken soul. In a way, I guess that's how you know they're the one: When you can tell them the worst possible thing and yet they still choose to be with you.

Having a broken soul can simultaneously be a blessing and a curse. It makes it easier to know that you are not alone in your journey, but at the same time, it can also make you feel like no one can understand what you’ve been through or how hard it is to go on every day. She looked at the floor, her blonde and ash-brown hair falling forward. "I can't sleep. Would you keep me company?" she asked in almost a whisper. "Read to me?"To have a broken soul is to experience a loss of meaning in life due to physical or emotional trauma. When faced with tragedy or pain, our spiritual selves are damaged, and we no longer feel that the world is meaningful. We feel frustrated and angry that things don’t work out as we expect them to. We can’t control our circumstances, but this doesn’t mean we should give up on pursuing our dreams and goals. When her mother had died from a combination of alcohol and falling down the stairs, the government finally sought me out - her only living relative. Mid-afternoon the room felt stuffy and hot. I opened a window and breathed a sigh of relief at the cold breeze washing over us. By nightfall I was beginning to worry. Should I take her to a doctor? A broken soul can be complicated, as it will feel like your powers are reduced and your life is empty. You may lose interest in things you used to enjoy, become lethargic, or even be depressed. By seeking help, you may be able to regain some control over your life again. Loved 'Foyle's War' and was immediately hooked when first getting into it. Love it even more now, on re-watches things that didn't quite make sense at first are clearer and things that were not noticed or appreciated before are and much admired. Everything that came over as brilliant on first viewings still are brilliant on re-watches.
