I'd disagree with that Honeybee......and say time "dulls" painful memories, it doesn't heal them. Reply #7. Apr 19 11, 2:19 PM |

Time doesn't heal everything. This is true. The loss of a child jumps to mind, but time does heal broken hearts. Reply #9. Apr 19 11, 3:00 PM |

Utterly destroy the person(s) who broke it, you won't feel any better but at least they feel worse and got what was coming to them. I wiped their toothbrush round the rim of the toilet, cut up their most expensive items of clothing into thin strips and threw it out of the window and then telephoned the parents-in-law and any mutual friends said that they'd given me chlamydia. Finished it off by getting them the sack (fired) and banned from every decent club in London. They probably thought twice before breaking somebody's heart again, so maybe I saved somebody else from a similar experience in a few months time. You then of course finish off with a large tub of ice-cream and some weepy movies. And sticking their photo on your dartboard. Reply #11. Apr 19 11, 9:56 PM |

"They probably thought twice before breaking somebody's heart again, so maybe I saved somebody else from a similar experience in a few months time." A disagree over here. If you held that much sway over him, he wouldn't have ditched you in the first place. Most likely, all that happened was some people found out you are psycho. I'd say you hurt yourself more than him in the long run. Reply #12. Apr 19 11, 10:43 PM |

My heart broke the day my husband died nine years ago, and I wouldn't say time heals.. I still think of him and miss him every single day..but it hurts less now than it did at the beginning. The main thing that has helped for me is being involved with my community.. doing stuff for others. Reply #13. Apr 19 11, 11:33 PM |

I'm afraid I've been well-acquainted with grief, from the age of thirteen on. The most devastating loss I've had was my beloved partner. I carry on by being grateful for what I did have, and by extending myself to others in acts of kindness. Grief is necessary, for how else would we remember? It's just when it becomes pathological and takes over our lives that it's a real problem. And, sure, my heart is broken, but I try to take care of the pieces that remain. Reply #16.

That first sentence now reads as though someone wrote it with her eyes closed and her brain shut down. She did, and it was! Reply #17. Apr 20 11, 1:34 PM |

Surround yourself with good company such as friends and family. Remember the good times you had with the person, it helps. I lost my cat of 15 years back in 2009. I think of the good times and memories we spent together and it cheers me up. Hang in there Uab Reply #18. Apr 21 11, 8:28 AM |

My beloved grandfather died in 1961, my equally-beloved father died in 1974, my mother died in 2003, and the great love of my life, my husband of not quite 46 years, died in 2007. At my age, I lose friends to death at an ever increasing rate. I comfort myself by not dwelling on the grief, but by remembering the joy of the relationships I had with those who have died, and using my own losses to help others to deal with their grief. If the broken heart you're referring to is the result of a romantic breakup, I can't honestly say I've ever experienced that particular kind of loss. That's not to say that I have never experienced a romantic break-up. I went through more than one of those before I met my husband. Sometimes I was the instigator in ending the relationship, sometimes it was he who decided to move on. I never spent any time grieving about any of them. Life's too short. Reply #19.

I've had many heartbreaking moments in my life & I've found that the only thing that lessens the pain is TIME. I said it lessens the pain, but it never goes completely away. It will always be there, hanging around like an unwanted guest. Reply #20. May 23 11, 1:46 AM |
