Heartbreak is loss, and it brings on real grief, whether it is a romantic partner, a friend, or even your own family. When we get caught in the rush to “move on”, we tend to resist the fluid process of grief, but if we look at nature, we will see its incredible ability to self-heal on its own timeline. In the same way we can’t control the seasons of the earth, we aren’t in control of the seasons of our lives. We can, however, attune ourselves to these changes, and prepare and honor the significance that each of the seasons brings.
With an approach that’s both gentle and wise, Sheleana leads us through the four “seasons” of heartbreak:
• Inner Autumn, a time to gather what we need and prepare to let go,
• Inner Winter, where we allow ourselves to grieve and rest,
• Inner Spring, a season of tentative, hopeful beginnings, and
• Inner Summer, when our hearts feel open to love and joy again.
By looking inward and honoring each season, readers will find that heartbreak isn’t just an end but also a beginning—a chance to rebuild, grow, and connect with themselves more deeply.
THE FOUR SEASONS OF HEARTBREAK is more than just a book; Sheleana offers readers a soulful journey toward transformation and finding ourselves again after loss. For anyone who’s been broken open by life, this book is here to help you gather the pieces and embrace the new version of yourself that’s waiting to be born.

Music has an extraordinary effect on us: it can give us goosebumps and butterflies, it can make our hearts beat faster, it can cheer us up and make us sad, can bring our stress levels down and ease pain. Not just that, but the latest findings from neuroscience and brain science show that it can have a positive impact on our health, psyche and social skills, and help develop and reinforce cognitive skills in both the young and the old.
