broken heart

[LyN]

how do you mend a broken heart?

[Angel Christine]

I think that if we knew, we would be millionaires..... or trillionaires! And our life would be too easy. There is no easy answer to this question although I wish like h*ll there were.

[LyN]

you're wholly right, Angel! my heart has shattered to a gazillion pieces for the past 2 weeks now. exhausted. bed. dreams...that's what i need right now. ;)

[Angel Christine]

Lyn, mine was too about six weeks ago. It gets a little bit easier every week, but for me it has been a very slow and painful process. I'm so sorry that you are hurting. I've always thought that matters of the heart are much worse than physical pain. If you need anything, please let me know. I'm not sure how much I can help since I am in the same boat, but I can listen.

[LyN]

i'm still trying to get up on my feet again with every waking moment. it's never easy, but i'm really trying here. it's really nice to have you here talking to me already. i really appreciate that. yes, i agree with you on nothing beats the painful feeling of losing someone or going through some traumatic issues of the heart. i hope we both will be fine eventually. i believe we will. ;)

[Angel Christine]

Oh, sweet girl, I know the feeling. I am just now able to get out of bed with a relatively clear head every morning. I have no idea how I made it through every day in the beginning. But I did. And you will too. And you will be fine. More than fine. We both will.

Time.

You've heard the saying "Time heals all wounds?". It's true, but it always sucks when you're going through the process. It will get better. In the meantime, you guys need to be good to yourselves. Be gentle with yourselves. Make sure you are getting enough sleep. Make sure you are eating! This is important. I dropped thirty pounds after my seperation because I was just too distraught and sick to eat.

Get some relaxation cds from the library....do whatever you need to center yourself.

It does get better, but it takes time.

thanks, Todd for all the suggestions on how to make us all feel better and make it through this hurting journey towards full healing of the heart. i do agree with you on that last part though..it does get better, but it sure takes a whole lot of time. ;)

WOW Just the theme of my life . My heart is in total shambles and it has been that way for a long time. I shed tears at least once a day missing what was and will never be again. Life was so much better then. I found this today http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=broken+heart&www_google_d...
I was 225 before the beginning of the end now i am 175 ish. Find myself remebering moments that are from a long time ago. listen to this song and try to believe operative word try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4sM3R7zL8o&NR=1

thanks, Todd for the wonderful clip of Leona Lewis. she has always been one of my favourite artistes of all time besides my all-time fav, Ms. Mariah Carey. i truly understand what you've been through and so do all of us here in this discussion. anytime u need a friend, we will always be there. ;)

I recently told someone sometimes the best thing in the world is to hear two simple words: "me too." No one can make it better... it is what it is... but you can rant, cry, and vent away on here. And you will get lots of me toos.

I would say that really good REAL friends are what got me through everything. I had a long, drawn out breakup with my ex, and I felt like I had to be purged by fire to come out clean and whole on the other side of it all. It was the most painful and damaging thing that's ever happened to me, but my friends are what pulled me back on top and showed me that there was still life worth living afterward. Time did help, and just separating myself from that whole life made a huge difference. We lived near each other and seeing her out with the other guy or just things around the area that reminded me of her didn't help. I ended up moving out of state for 2 years, but that's not really going to work for most people... I dno.. I think each person just has to find their own way in life after a huge broken heart. There's definitely no user manual on it! Just be true to yourself and don't loose yourself in any despair and hopelessness. Just remember, even when you feel like you are at the very bottom of the abyss and at the end of your rope, there's only one way to go from there.. Up...

Just my 2 cents :)

[LyN]

one friend said the same thing to me before. only way to go from deep down below is Up. and i believe that and have it in my heart and mind always. thank you, S for sharing. i feel you there.
