How can you mend a broken heart?

I started to reply and the post became quite lengthy and so made it into a short story and submitted it to Triond. Hopefully it will be published soon. If not I will post it here later. I have had my heart broken a few times in my 60 years of living and managed to heal and hopefully the next time I fall in love it will be with someone that will love me forever. I wish your friend well!

hello rose, i have had my share of a broken heart.. and would you believe "time will heal the wounds"? sounds familiar too, right? and it is very true. some may take longer, others might not recover, but taking on a positive attitude is the best answer. one who experiences being broken hearted will pass several phases, pity on oneself, low self esteem, questions what went wrong, then questions why blame yourself, then anger.. etc. but if you have a friend, you will very fast. people with aching heart is very vulnerable. they should be very careful on who to trust. ann

Well True time is powerful in healing all sorrows and pains into happiness and peace. So i always believe any tough situations, saying time will change this situations soon.

I don't have any experience in 'brocken heart'. But I like to write what I learnt. 'Brocken heart is psychological term. Once one heart is brocken for any reason that can't be that can't be ment again. So every body must protect their own heart not to break for any reason. They should try to divert their mind and give medicaments and nurishing foods (entertainment, friends, hobby and prayers) to their own mind.

I just take it as a dream...my heart has been broken once, but i never ever looked back in life...i had a friend who helped me in such a situation...i forgot everything from the past and started a new life...No i am even more happy than before.

Well, broken hearts are excruciatingly pain. i guess if you're reacting this you would know. Men in particular suffer more; people think we shouldn't suffer from broken hearts. This make us try to repress it, and that hurts even more. Women are open with their emotions and their crying. it helps them heal much faster. For me as men, i will get somewhere quiet and comfortable. I will be alone for this one, so no one can disturb me. I will also have some repressed emotions that i need to let it out, and having people around might hold me back. Besides that, i will try to relax my body. Normally i will listen to some music and it will help me relax a lot.

ive been broken many times.. lol heheh but well i can easily get over with it.. i just cry it all night and then when i wake up the next time its gone.. also i pray more and more.. that helps a lot..

Just be brave to accept things the way they are.. Let time do the process. ITs hard but things will be okay soon for sure..

Oh yes I have had my heart broken before and it has been mended. It's a long story but to make it short I trusted and now I'm separated. It's a long process to recovery specially if the person was someone you really trusted and loved. But it can be done. In my case, I had a motivation to move on which are my kids. I can't just sit and cry all day but I did cry for days and months. I think it's makes you feel better if you let it out once in a while. Be with friends and family who will support you. Never be alone. Immerse yourself in something to keep you busy like work. Then pray. As I've said it's a long and hard process. You will feel that it's the end of your life and that you can't make it but trust me you can. Just believe in yourself that you can and that there's always a rainbow after the rain.

I'm a sensitive man in the daily life.So, I'm alaways be hurt by something aroud myself though the thing is nothing in other's eyes. And I'll be immersed in the sorrow a period of time, then i can listen to the sad music and dance of myself quietly as well sit one place to looking somewhere i don't know. At the last, i'll be back to a lovely girl for my life to do the work or life well and show the other one excellent person. I put the sorrow in my deep heart in order to live happily.
