Once you find out, tell the Bee Gees.

They still want to know.

Yes, you can mend your broken heart. Give yourself time to process the feeling of loss. It is better to deal with them than to try to ignore them. One you have begun to process those feelings, things will start to turn around for you. The pace at which this happens is defined by each individual. Take care of yourself, get yourself together, before you move on to someone else. The next person you have a romance with will be grateful if you are ready to move on. Best of luck to you, and I am so sorry you are going through this.

I found my answer through Christ. Crazy as it may seem, I opened the Bible and it fell on John 5 and the entire chapter just moved me.
It gave me the courage to let go of my abusive ex and take hold of Jesus. But you have to want it.
I had to cut all ties and be done with him forever. I can't ever look back. I can't ever answer his cries of, "I'm sorry." It's hard, but I feel so much better without him in my life. I know I can do it. I know Jesus is there and that helps.

It is possible. Mine was broken almost 3 years ago when the love and light of my life died. I am finally at the point in my life where I feel it is possible that I will be able to open up to someone else in the near future and love them. You just have to go on with your life and not let things hold you back. If you can look at thinks with a positive attitude it is possible to overcome heartbreak and move on with life.

- I'm so sorry to hear that, i do hope you can find love in the future. :)

Chocolate and distractions work for a little while... as far as really mending... perhaps a new love

I'm afraid there is no short way through the grief that comes with a broken heart. I'm still finding little cracks in mine and it's been nearly a year since we parted company. I'm finding it easier but it really takes time and not thinking about this person really helps too. I hope that helps you.

there is no short remedy. I would'nt shy away from the pain. One really needs to grieve their loss. There is only one thing that works and it's the cliche "Time heals all wounds"

G'day Scholtzie,

Thank you for your question.

The best way is time. In the meantime, go out with friends and family and try to build a network of friends. Hopefully, you will be able to find love with somebody else in the meantime.

Regards

Your heart is not broken, it's just ripped open fully, like a book. Just close the book before someone starts reading between the lines.

- Just keep remembering that life is short and that everything happens for a reason...one door might close but a new door will open for you eventually. It is always darkest before the dawn, getting over someone that you cared for is never easy, but filling your life with things that matter to you and that you love like friends, family, going out and having fun and enjoying every second God has given you you will see more and more with each passing day that life can and will get better! One day at a time... =)

life takes us threw confusion, it takes us threw pain, and most of all the feeling of being broken. when it comes to that i guess you just really got to fight. fight hard, and although you make feel like its impossible as long as you stay strong through it all you should be fine.

quote i go by:
"i realize that when your heart breaks you have to fight like hell to stay alive because you are that pain you feel. that's life. the confusion & tears. that's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better & that something better is worth fighting for."
- NATHAN ; ONE TREE HILL

:) hope that helps.

Time will take care of it Norman. Just as time takes care of everything else eventually. Perhaps you were a little too desperate for this to work out. When it's right, there aren't any glitches or hitches or obstacles or reversals. So if this were to have "worked out" you might be facing another divorce down the road. If you look upon it that way perhaps it will hasten your recovery from the disappointment. Good luck.

chocolate makes u feel fake love (some chemical reaction)
and exercise makes the body feel good. Sure no where near the same thing, but u end up looking great, and feeling good.

- Laura Nyro | Time and Love (lyrics) | 1969
  
  Winter froze the river
  And winter birds don't sing
  So winter makes you shiver
  So time is gonna bring you spring
  So he swears he'll never marry
  Says that cuddles are a curse
  Just tell him plain
  You're on the next train
  If love don't get there first
  
  Time and love
  Everybody
  Time and love
  Nothing cures like
  Time and love
  Don't let the devil fool you
  Here comes a dove
  Nothing cures like
  Time and love
  (Nothing cures like
  Time and love)
  
  Winter froze the river
  And winter birds don't sing
  So winter makes you shiver
  So time is gonna bring you spring
  You've been running
  You've been rambling
  And you don't know what to do
  A holly golden wager says
  That love will see you through
  
  Time and love, everybody
  Time and love (Oh, time and love)
  Nothing cures like time and love
  Don't let the devil fool you
  Here comes a dove
  Nothing cures like
  Time and love
  (Nothing cures like
  Time and love)
  
  Jesus wasn't angel
  The mankind broke His wing
  But Jesus gave His lifeline
  So sacred bell could sing
  Now a woman is a fighter
  Gather white or African
  A woman is a woman, inside
  Has miracles for men at night
  
  Time and love, everybody
  Time and love (Oh, Time and love)
  Nothing cures like
  Time and love
  Don't let the devil fool you
  Here comes a dove
  Nothing cures like time and love
  Nothing cures like time and love
  (Love for the man if you please if you can)
  Nothing cures like time and love
  Love for the man
  If you can, if you please...

- How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
  Al Green
  Composição: Al Green
  
  I can think of younger days when living for my life
  Was everything a man could want to do
  I could never see tomorrow, I was never told about the sorrow
  
  And how can you mend a broken heart?
  How can you stop the rain from falling down?
  How can you stop the sun from shining?
  What makes the world go round?
  How can you mend this broken man?
  How can a loser ever win?
  Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
  
  I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
  And misty memories of days gone by
  We could never see tomorrow, no one have told us about the sorrow
  
  And how can you mend a broken heart?
  How can you stop the rain from falling down?
  How can you stop the sun from shining?
  What makes the world go round?
  How can you mend this broken man?
  How can a loser ever win?
  Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

Give it some time. Delve into hobbies that bring a sense of fulfillment. Talk to people who love you. Engage in a creative medium as well as exercise. Take care of yourself. Know that everything in life tends to happen for a reason and the tide can change at any moment.

Like any other wound, a broken heart requires time to heal. Best you can do during the healing process is to protect it in such a way that nothing will reopen the wound before it has had a chance to fully heal.

It's been nearly 3 years now so I guess it is time to move on.Moving on doesn't mean you completely forget the person you loved. She is always going to have a piece of my heart and though my heart will probably never completely mend I know that as time goes on and I learn to love again things will get better.

Good luck finding someone new. @sweetcakes, I have a friend who thought she would never love again and was prepared to live out the rest of her days alone. She is now in a wonderful relationship with a person who loves her more than anything. You just never know when love will find you and from where it will come.

- Thanks Idne and sweetcakes Idne is right I first oif all can't believe someone would be so cruel as to break your heart.so I am assuming that you lost someone you loved very much. The pain will probably never go away completely and they will probably always hold a piece of your heart but time really is the best healer. I bet too that one day you will find love again. It may not be as soon as you want but it will happen.
