    I have had girlfriends i was married once and with my marriage and even girl friends when it was over it was over

    It hurt but I could walk away.
    But I have also had girlfriends that we have broke up and a month down the road im still not over it this is my theory on what happens

    Sometimes two people fall in love they break up and it hurts. And a few weeks down the road things start to get better so on an so on but we get through it

    Then there has been times would break up and the connection is so deep so powerful that it hurts

    You can't sleep or eat. It feels like you can't even function and it goes on and on and on

    My theory is we all are made from energy we are all spiritual energy in the human body

    In the human body falls in love that's one thing but when two energies fall in love they miss each other They Mourn each other it is a much deeper experience a much deeper feeling and you can't control it

    There has been times where I have to look at myself and ask myself this is not me I can get through anything

    I can control myself but I could not control this and I had to really think about what was going on with me and that's the only thing that it could be and I had to talk to myself my energy

    And I would apologize I didn't know that that energy would fall in love with their energy I thought it was just me and them

    When two energies fall in love at the same time there is a connection there too and they didn't want to break up they fell in love with each other and they meant it was forever

    So the more I started to understand this

    I had to help my energy get through it and even the person that I broke up with was going through the same thing and I explained this to them

    And in doing so they help their energy get through it too

    Because it's like you're two different people you want it to end you want it to go away but it doesn't it's not like you to feel this way you can get through anything but until I realized it this way it was painful but once I understood it this way I could do something about it and it still takes a long time but at least I wasn't talking to myself all the time on what is going on with me so for me this is the only thing that it can be that made sense to me

      I know that feeling very well of being so love sick that you can't eat anything.
      When my husband abandoned my son and I, I wasn't able to eat anything for 3 months and I only weighed 97 pounds. I could only swallow whole cow's milk and that's all I lived on. I ended up in the hospital ๐Ÿฅ from not eating anything.
      I smoked cigarettes back then and I was just trying to quit when he left us. Then I smoked 3 packs a day to get me through it. It was a terrible time.๐Ÿ˜”

    Yes you can, losing a loved one can cause you stress and sadness to the point your heart canโ€™t handle it anymore. My mom ended up dying after my older brother passed away from a broken heart , she ended up having a heart attack from all the sadness and stress she was going through

      I'm so very sorry to learn this about your brother and your Mom. I don't mean to sound so cliche, but I wanted to give you my condolences.

      I remember so well when my son was 17, almost 18, and he came down with bacterial meningitis and other things that he could have very easily died from.
      I didn't have family support, so it was just me with him. Sitting there for 11 hours on some days watching him laying there on life support was the hardest thing I've ever had to live through.
      I think that if he had passed away that I probably would have died from a broken heart too. ๐Ÿ’”

    Yes, as someone who works in the medical field and studied to be a certified CCMA, Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, it is actually surprisingly a thing. Broken Heart syndrome is caused by stress called cardiomyopathy (which is temporary heart condition) that occurs when the muscles in the heart are weakened due to extreme emotional stress like adrenaline, heightened hormones rushing through your body can really damage the heart. The tendons in the heart are actually very soft and fragile and can break very easily which if too much stress is caused, cardiomyopathy happens and mimics a heart attack which can actually be very severe and lead to killing you like heart failure and unsteady heart rhythm. It is actually really sad, a lot of older people experience broken heart syndrome, but it can happen I think too really anyone if not careful.

    Of course, it's just "change"... stress. Some of it is awful and can kill us. If we are able to respond to the stress can come out better, with purpose.

    Life's changes can be really hard. Some are of no value and just part of our miserable world we have to deal with, no control over. Take the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff as example. There's no value in that.

    Yes, but my hope would be to die so that my wife, family and friends, neighbors, knows go on living the best life they can and be thankful I was here... all the while bringing me some flowers occasionally... geesh. I don't think anyone would die of broken heart if I went.

    It would be very hard to lose my wife, that stress might kill me and blow up a lot of the family, although she has worked so hard to keep it together, that makes her critical as others haven't filled the gap sufficiently.

    Yes, in a very real sense. 💔 Extreme emotional stress can affect the body and, in rare cases, trigger something called broken heart syndrome, which can temporarily weaken the heart and even become life-threatening. But most heartbreak doesnโ€™t literally cause death.

    So while you may not die from heartbreak, the pain can definitely feel physically real. Sometimes the heart needs time to heal just as much as the mind does. โค๏ธโ€🩹

    A broken heart is a very genuine physical feeling in your chest. I remember my break up with my first long term girlfriend. So I can believe this.

    On a side note it is remarkable how many die after a loved one's visit. It is as though they just hold out.

    Yes you can. It's fairly common for a spouse to die shortly after their spouse has died.

    Consider British Royalty as a typical example...

    Prince Philip, the Queen's long-time husband, died 9 April 2021. Queen Elizabeth II died 8 September 2022, a little over a year later.

    I worked with a guy whose wife passed away. He had a heart attack and died just two months later.

It wasn't even a full year and my grandma passed. But no matter how young I was, I know how she or what she died from... a broken heart.

    yeah you can die from it like you can die from all the other kind of emotional pain, it is not as romantic or dramatic as you see, it is just your body and heart not being able to tolerate the stress hormones.

    I think Yes , stress and dependent, we seen it happen many times in older people when a husband / wife dies.

    But , it has to be allowed to happen by the individual, stress related , and stress in general is a serious killer.

      It is a real medical condition.

      But you're right. Many people have committed suicide because of the pain of their broken heart. ๐Ÿ’” I happen to have known a young man who did that because his girlfriend broke up with him and wouldn't go back with him. Sad!๐Ÿ˜”

    not technically the heart being broken but the sadness related to depression and just the crushing feeling that causes you to lose hope and not take care of yourself can cause you to go to an extreme in your body that it could die.

    People can die from grief. The heart is the receptacle of emotions. I know that during the 911 attacks there were people on the streets of NYC that died from the shock alone.

    I believe it's possible especially if the people have been with each other for a long time as a couple married or not. Their loves of their lives are gone and they are alone and want to be with them again.
