What becomes of the broken hearted?


What becomes of the broken hearted? I am asking. Can you die from it? Will one become like a soldier who’s been to battle and will never like to come back again? Obviously we all react differently. I can’t say I have had a broken heart but was seriously hurt once before I obviously got over it and now I enjoy looking back at the memories including the hurt feeling I had then. I just seriously laugh about and recall it with so much fondness.

Experts say one can actually die from a broken heart. It is a sudden onset of heart failure after emotional trauma. It is known as broken heart syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy. So it is true like we see in the movies. It is apparently rare but can happen. The other consequences of broken heart will be psychological. It can trigger mental illness. Oh no I’m scaring myself to death here! Yes it is true but we should be in control of our emotions and reactions.

My take here, do not think of love as a battle we do not go there to fight, to be suspicious of everyone and to be cautious all the time.

Take it as a journey with a final destination in mind. The journey will not always be smooth there will be humps and bumps, curves and bends, high and lows. We will encounter good and bad weather but that’s all part of the journey that we should learn to enjoy or to endure. We should take turns in driving ( I have a learner’s licence I warn you). If the journey gets tough take a break or take another route but don’t give up. If we do not reach the final destination then enjoy the memories.

Be careful with our hearts, both literally and figuratively. Incidentally there is a song and movie titled “What becomes of broken hearted.” I love the movie it is a NZ drama movie. I prefer the song remake by Westlife over the original by Jimmy Ruffin ( I don’t know him sorry)

Someone said jokingly love can be like a battle if you get wounded you get a purple heart and ass.

So have you had a broken heart? What was it like to you?

Bizzy, I think the strong ones get to mend their broken hearts fast, the weak ones struggle with it for years. Age is also a factor, younger ones get to feel a more intense grief with the separation, the older ones are more understanding of the situation. As of dying due to broken heart, younger women (below 45) are prone to it. Men over 60 who have been married all their lives to the same woman, pass away with 2 yrs of the wife's demise because of broken heart, they follow the woman they love to the grave.

That's my take in this and I'll stick to it.

Thanks old for the comment. I'm glad you were able to read the font because you said they were too small.
