Is there such a thing as a broken heart ?

[frankie t]

We often hear that someone has a broken heart ? I am aware that the heart is a piece of flesh beneath the ribcage, but why do we all feel so much pain with loss of any kind ?
Have you ever had a broken Heart.:(

Its to do with being in shock and the brain which leads to the lack of appetite and feeling down nothing to do with your heart, the heart is a pump type muscle.

Sorry i also forgot to say are you OK frankie?

When you do feel down friends and family are the best people to turn to.

If you do feel like you need a drink take it easy but its really best not to do it all.

Sept 2001 when my dad died suddenly. I remember a very good childhood friend of mine telling me it had been 10 years since her dad had died and I felt wuite shocked that it had gone so quickly. She said to me your pain will get better and you will be able to laugh again at your memories. Almost 7 years now and I look back at what she said and think how right she was and how quick these 7 years have passed. Oddly enough I dreamt about him last night and I remember crying in my sleep and felt those same painful feelings again, but until I read this thread I had forgotten the dream.
I hope for anyone whos feeling abit down that the sun soon shines and they feel better sooon.

I had my heart broken in 2004 when the bloke I'd been with for 5 years cruelly dumped me by calling off the wedding (3 months before it happened) and went on holiday for 2 weeks leaving me alone and heartbroken. Had 6 months off work hiding in my house and only going out after dark cos I didn't want to see anyone, not even my friends. Took 2 years to start socialising again, over him now, but he took something from me, I think I lost my sense of fun and trust. Feel like no bloke will ever be allowed to get that close to me again, and that's really sad, but no way can I let it happen again. Keep telling myself that I am great and I deserve better!

It is true that bacuptimes. My dad died 22 years ago and it doesnt seem that long, i look back and remember the good times when i was growing up. I was talking to a friend of mine who was also a friend of both of my parents and he said it doesnt seem 22 years since he died and when i said it was 2 1/2yrs from mum he said that definately doesnt seem that long. It doesnt seem 2 1/2 years since my mum died which was a shock as i'd been talking to the nurse on the ward and she was talking about sending her home in 2 days - half an hour later she died. Its a case of remembering the good times and not to forget but put them to the back of your mind the bad times of which i had a few.

Oh I do, there are odd times when I get upset but I think thats normal. One thing that helped me was a few months after dad died I started researching his family tree, mainly because there was a link with what he died of and his father and so on. The things is though you end up slightly nuts haha because I find myself talking to him now asking him why didnt he tell me this about so and so or that about so and so :)
