How do you mend a BROKEN HEART?

Hello! You are right when you said that everyone handles it differently. In my case I would rather be alone and cry myself to sleep or listen to music and get drowned in the sound. My bedroom is my comfort zone. I always keep my tears unseen from anybody. I don't like people to think I am that weak. Although i am a woman, i really feel uncomfortable crying in public places. I would pour out my heartache in a diary and then after some time i would feel better.

Greetings! Yes. I agree its happy to love and be loved in return but to be broken hearted is really not good. Like what others have said, "love is like heaven but hurts like hell". To mend a broken heart, I spend time with my friends too so that at least, I'll be happy. I also spend time with my family and most of all, I spend time for myself. I'll do everything to make m happy like shopping, going out and many more. I'll treat myself and I'll just smile. We don't know maybe someone out there would fall in love at you because of your smile? :) I'm just thinking that maybe someone out there, someone better is meant for me. Mr. right is just out there and that Mr.right would make us happy for the rest of our life. :)

You see mending something broken, I take a glue-stick and mend it. Same way heart could be mended by making ourselves understand that life is full of ups and down and if something bad happens with us, resulting in broken heart, it is part of life and it should be taken on our stride.

Hi, celeste, for all the pains, time is the best medicine. As time goes on, the memory will not be so fresh, then it will fade little by little. It sounds a little cruel, but it is truth. Of course, friends can help a lot. I admire you, because you got so many friends who can lend their shoulders for you to cry. Yes, when we are extremly upset or sad, just let the tear pour out, it is better cry out than restrain our tears.

Well, for me I need to be reasonable enough to avoid being lonely or suffering from pain cause by brokenhearted. Being a reasonable man. I do believe that all things can be happen not because I am careless or I am not a good lover. It is because I fully in love with the person whom I love...to avoid being hurt. I will always telling to myself; "that's a part of life"....we need to be hurt for making us strong. We need to be hurt to see the beauty of life. We need to be hurt for us to know real concept of love...pain that's it...but we need not stop to love someone. What we need is to have a wide understanding about the behavior of every person for telling us "Love". But at end the words is not real...

Hiya celeste, Broken Hearts can take a lifetime to mend depending on how deep the love was and how much resilience the Person has to cope with it. I don´t think that there is a time you can put on mending a broken Heart altogether. You can still get back into living your life and yet you can still be nursing a broken heart as well at the same time for ages. My Friends would not be much help in mending a broken Heart for me I would need to be by myself although I would enjoy their company but each of us has to mend this problem mostly by ourselves. Sometimes you can hide a broken heart behind years of denial that you are still hurt too and that is when you need someone to help you and rescue you from your plight. Can be very complicated this one as we are all very complex.

people always tell me that the easiest way to mend a broken heart is to find a new love... another person who can really love and cherish you to replace your lost love... as you receive new love, it will be easier to forget your past love and move on with life... also, time is another good tool to heal a broken heart... take care and have a nice day...

I think the reason that I was brokenhearted so many times was because I had not found my soul mate and I was just picking the wrong people over and over again to enter into my world or heart. Soul mates cherish each other by treating each other with dignity and respect. When I had a broken heart, it was most difficult to move forward with my life, but time will heal the broken heart, and hopefully we will have learned how to decide if the next person will do the same thing, break a heart.

Love is all that matters they say but when that love comes to end we want to give up. It is not easy to be in that state, feeling very hurt because of the relationship that did not last the way we want it. When i experienced it before, i became very sad & i just want to stay in my room alone for a week. I contemplated & reflect. Most importantly i prayed during those days. I cried to release everything about the past and after that sad moments i am ready to fall in love again because i do believe that i am stronger and better than before because i learned to love & to let go.

I have said it many a times in here and I will say it once more (hehe). "Life in the short run is a misery, but in the long run is a comedy." If you hold to this words, you will know that your heart will eventually heal (how much I won't know) and you will look back with fondness and reminisce this period of your hurt, and smile. Be with good friends, find new hobbies, new distractions. Without sounding too religious, do pray to God for healing...and the courage to accept the situation and move on. Easier said than done, but not impossible. Of course when it happened to me long long ago, I didn't have the foresight to know what I know now, and my response would be like most people.

Listen to music and try not to think too much about that person.Life needs to moving on and we just need to looking forward to the future.People cant always live in the past,i need to tell myself.Because others can't help you except you on this issue.

Understanding and meditation.

I do the same thing just like you. we go to mall to eat ice cream and chocolate.

greetings! you eat lots and lots of ice cream :) or learn a new language to keep you distracted

hello celeste, Acceptance is the easiest way to mend a broken heart. Accept the reality that you are not meant to be. that there might be a good reason why it happens. Sometimes we need to let go of someone for a better one to come along. Welcome to mylot and enjoy mylotting

like the proverb says, "there is an encounter, there was also a farewell. " In love, this proverb is true and can not be avoided by anyone. When in the relationship of love there must be a separation, absolutely that's be galling for the man who started it. But, I think, this hurt ordinary, will disappear over time and our maturity. So, when I have felt hurt, I'd better forget about it immediately by closing all the love stories that ever existed and that I have ever run.

hmmmm. let me think... maybe keep yourself busy on something or divert your attention into something worthy so that you can forget that you have a broken heart... hahaha find someone that is able to comfort you and understands your situation... hehe

hi celeste2224, When I read your discussion, I was reminded of the song "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" by the Bee Gees. The song was about a person who was left by his/her lover. As the song describes the situation, it was like very impossible to mend a broken heart. According to the song, it was like stopping the rain from falling down and the sun from shining. The person was seeking for help to do it. For me, mending a broken heart is indeed difficult but not impossible. Just try letting the time pass by, forget everything about the past and begin a new life.

Just cry, let your tears fall down so after the tears, you will be strong again so you can face another day. Just take it easy, just for your time.
