broken heart

Jones' family said in a statement Sunday evening, “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing.

“Tribute is paid to all grandmothers, great-grandmothers, mothers and traditional healers who in times past could cure everything from a broken heart to clinical illnesses with the help of herbs, flowers, bark, etc.”

Her mother — Foster’s grandmother — “died four and a half months later from a broken heart,” she said.

"It has been a salve to our broken hearts," she said.

Political broken hearts — unfulfilled promises on immigration reform, schools that continue to fail, worsening housing inequities — are why Latinos are so apathetic about elections, I argued.
