Can a broken heart truly be mended?

Referring to the question of my subject, what do you guys reckon? Can we ever truly recover from a broken heart! It has happened to me quite a few times and I thought I will perish into oblivion and thought I would never be the same again. But thanks to a good support system from family and friends, I did manage to recover. Although you are not fully healed emotionally (cos it takes a lot to mend a broken heart), I think that life can go on with time and effort!

I do not think you get over it for a long time, but after time it fades, I do not think you ever truly forget. Every so often things will happen that will bring it back and then it will be painful for a while again. But I do think that you go on, you have to otherwise life will just stay unhappy.

yes, i agree with you for most,if you have been hurt by soemone for the first time,mayeb you should experice for a long time to recover ,you should happy for this ,because after you have been betray by someone,there is your family and you rfriend to suport you in the emotionally,they healed you emotionally and you recover finally,so good luck to you. and in my mind,that if the heart is broken by soemone,even if it is mend from a long time,and maybe he or she said he or she is okay,for good,but there still be some harmful wound,and you know someday if you come aross the one who hurt you,you will also feel hurtful.so the only way is forget the past and unhappy things and the one that not worth your memory.

I have had a broken heart and have moved on. It took some time, and was a lot of pain but it happened and now I'm happily married.

Yes! your last line is very true! Life will still go on! Everything is in your will power. You Can change your life the way you want. You can choose to be happy, or you can choose to be sad. Infact, what i feel is, incase someone is heart broken, it definitely takes some time... but never impossible. Good luck to u buddy. God Bless!

I had my heart broken when I was 19 in a major way and although now I can look back at it and not feel the same feelings towards it, I always still feel a twitch in my heart when I remember it. So, where I think on some level you heal, I think most people will always feel a twinge of pain when they look back on it but I am happily married now and so, I really don't think it effects your whole life and happiness but I do think that you will always remember the pain caused by it on some level...

Yes, I believe it can. A broken heart is 50% loss, and 50% ego. I think most of us get past the loss, but it takes a long time for the ego to handle the fact that we were rejected, or were placed in a situation that was not under our control. I had a girl friend once that just blew my mind with what she did to me. I thought I would never trust a woman again. Then I met my wife, and although I kind of put her through a trial with my insecurities, once I got past that I knew that old girl friend didn't mean a thing to me and I had met the one that I was really meant to be with. Sometimes a broken heart is just an experience, a life lesson to make you thank ful when the right thing comes along.
