We are talking about relationships here.I know that a lot of women and men alike have lost a mate or lost a love,either through death or a broken relationship.If you do love someone with all of your heart,and they die or the relationship is broken,how do you stop loving that person?I know that you must go on,but what are the chances that you will ever love like that again?How do you get past that lost love? Is it possible? Or do you settle for a lesser relationship? or do you just stay alone? Have you ever lost a true love? How did you cope? Do you still love that person?Please share your comments..

My broken heart! - broken heart
Oh my! This is really up my alley! lolol..... When my Dad passed away I thought my heart was actually broken into little pieces and now 19 years later I'm still very sad and missing him but I'm getting along without him although I still miss him every day. As for a true love....my heart has been broken for almost 2 years now and I will never get over losing him...I've tried going for other relationships but because he is so much in my heart it can't be done. I thought I could settle and when I tried that it didn't work so I've now decided that I would rather be alone. We talk once in awhile....very seldom but we do. If the day ever came that he wanted to come back I would go for it in a minute. I've had the same feelings losing him that I had when I lost my Dad so now I feel like I'm mourning 2 people except that I can still have contact with one.

Everything is possible but we have to wait for things to get in its place when it have been misplaced. MY friend TIME is the only solution for such cases, we have to be strong and try to cope with our normal life even if it won't be normal like before. When we love somebody too much we hate them that much when they betray us or when things don't fall in proper place. But time is a good healer so be strong and in the end time will tell whether you still love that person or not.

i think its really hard or next to impossible to stop loving someone.May be only hate can do so. Also there are situations taht the person you love so much hurts you so much that you start hating taht person from now on. But if u ,lose someone and there is no point of hating then its more difficult i think.

I just did my best to win her back. When I woke up to the realization that it wasn't going to happen, I just lost the feeling. Now I have no regrets, for there was nothing more I could have done.

You were very wise when you finally realized it would do no good.You say that you lost that feeling, it is good that you were able to do that.Sometimes you cannot lose that feeling.I really want to with all my heart but it haunts me.

I am afraid to say there is no a better way to stop loving someone. I know how hard it is. I think the best way is to love another one. That's the best solution.

I think if you want to stop loving someone ,you must love another ,But it need a long time.it is too difficult to forget someone that you have loved very much .

You are right , but it is easy finding another,the problem is finding another that you can feel strong enough about to forget the first.

well for me i havent lost anyone very dear to me till now.however i can truly understand what the pain would be,since i have many frineds who have faced this kind of situations in thier life.i think that the love for the person can never go whether he or she is with us or not.because thier love occupies a place in our heart and it can never be emptied in any case.many a times people forget and move on with their life and many a times people are not so strong and try to keep time in their fist.it really hurts when one loses someone who one loves a lot.but life has to go on and the show goes on with or without any one.

i don't spend time to just forget the last lovers,because when you give time in it you will never forget the person.i will let the time to wash it,and also i can spend the attraction at another person
