Mending A Brokent Heart?
597945
Sitting around, wondering & doing nothing won't get either of you back together. If you think it's worthwhile to try again, make the first move & see what happens. I'm not saying go all out and tell him outright. That's just me & I'd much prefer the guy to take the lead to let me know where he's headed. Just call and say Hi or leave some kind of messsage that let him know. See what he does next. Be prepared for the worst though as he may have moved on. At least you won't spend your life wondering.

It takes time to get over a love relationship.  Some people say that it takes half the time you were involved to get over it.  The best thing is to just talk it out with friends, or maybe a professional counselor.  It's a process, getting over a broken heart, not an event.  It's not something that you just wake up the next day and say, "I'm over it".  I found getting involved with new friends, or interests took my mind away from my sadness.  \nI'm sorry to hear that you are hurting, I hope that you can find some support and distraction soon.  It won't always be like this.  Some day in the future you will look back at this and realize that it wasn't a good relationship for you.

Yes, I think it is the truth- realistically, people that suffer broken hearts don't really know what it feels like to die, however, sometimes a broken heart is worse than if someone is dead, because once we are dead, we don't feel anything. A broken heart is similar to just a slow painful death.\n\nEDIT: in regards to some of the other answers, a broken heart can be repaired, but the temporary feeling of pain and anguish is horrible- AND they may not have truly been in love if they didn't feel that way.\n\n-EA

It depends on what caused the break up... But flowers and candy can patch just about anthing up. If it doesn't do it for you, just remember their are plenty of fish in the sea.

By focusing on your education, you'll help yourself get over your broken heart.  You just need to let your brain take over for now, and give your heart a rest for a little while.

If you're going to break a fellow's heart, you might as well try to cushion the blow a little. Be kind and supportive, remember you may well be on the other side of a break up someday, and imagine how you might feel. A little kindness never hurt anyone. Having said that, make sure you're firm, don't leave any hope in his heart for a second chance. You don't want him pining.

Realize you can't depend on other people to complete you, make you whole, or fulfill your dreams.  Broken hearts do hurt, I've been there.  Not to preach at you, but if you seek the truth you will find it- Jesus Christ will be your satisfaction, your most important relationship, and romantic relationships along with life itself will have a divine sense of purpose. Broken hearts, though they can still happen and hurt, won't take center stage in your life and will be a lot easier to get over.  And I almost forgot- don't settle for less of a man than you dream for, never get the idea you can "fix" a guy and have him change into who you dream for.

Don't believe crying yourself to sleep at nights will help you to overcome a heart break. The first steps are to relax and spend some time with friends and family, not to mention going out and having some fun. These are all to take your mind off "the heart breaker". If that doesn't work, try meeting new people. The aim for all this is to open up your eyes, and allow yourself to see the truth. Which is that you are still a valuable person. Besides, look at it this way, you are not the one losing, he is. They are losing a unique individual.\n\nMy personal philosophy in life is that out of everything bad comes something good. Therefore, the bad thing in this situation is losing the person you love, hence ending up with a broken heart. However the good thing that will come out of it is that, with that person out of your life, you will meet someone new. Someone who will accept you and appreciate you for who you are.\n\nSo again, I'll ask, can one mend one's broken wings and learn to fly again? Sure you can. Love comes with a lot of risks so before falling, first consider the cost and weigh your feelings.

I believe there are positive lessons to be learned from the most heartbreaking situations, I have been there, trust me.  its not easy but you have to look at it as a learning experience, and instead of focusing on the heartbreak, focus on how much stronger you are now, for having gone thru it.  tkae what you learned from the experience close that chapter of your life and allow yourself to move on.  Take things slowly in your new relationship, allow things to unfold in a way  that is comfortable for both of you and see where it leads.  over time memories of the past will fade and wounds heal allowing you to open your heart again.  Its a painful process at times but so well worth it in the end. hope this helps!

It took ten years for my poor poor heart to mend after I divorced my husband of 13 years b/c he had a baby with an aquaitance of mine and I felt sorry for her not being married and all gave her a baby shower and gave her all my childs things (i did not know it was his child til later). It just takes time. I dove into my work and made new friends (seeing as how all my old friends knew it was his child and did not tell me) and spent some quality time with myself. I got to know me really well and decided I really liked the new me. Just give yourself time to heal and get involved with work and friends. It does help. Oh and try not to drown your sorrows in alchol and drugs. I tried that I lost everything I had AGAIN and had to start over. Good luck to you and try and hang in there the world has a lot to offer if you will just stop and look around. I am happily married now to a wonderful and caring man that adores me! I am living proof that your heart can and will mend. I may stil be cracked but it will heal.

good day to you,\n\n I understand what you are facing now. but you have to start first by asking forgiveness to the Lord our God and let him rule your life rather than you rule your own life. everybody had a mistake. but it's up to you to fix it. Try to reach God and feel His love deep into your heart. Talk to Him and it's more easier to overcome your problem by crying out all your pains while praying. His always there beside you and and never leave you all alone. He loved you very much simply because He still let see the brighter color of your life, grab this chance that He gave you. Then one day a big surprise will happen. God already touched your heart so don't let him go again. Pray everyday and let Him lead your life. And if you  do all this things, God will do the rest by healing your family's broken hearted.

of course forgive and don't forget it TRUE love cant be broken, but it can be restored. but if you feel like it will happen again lay down some ground rules and keep your eye on him.

It's possible. I'm doing it right now. The trick is to put asside the hurt and the lost dreams and hopes. They're in the past. And to bring them up carries with them the bitterness, the resentment and the pain of loss and that just spins you up again. If you can get past all the old feelings and start working towards how you can be just helpful, supportive friends, then you're half way there. Good luck. It IS possible as long as both of you work on it.

I have had this happen to me, so i speak from personal experience.  When a guy has his heart broken, it is the worst feeling imaginable.  He feels lost, scared, alone, worthless, and completely shattered in body, heart, mind, and soul.  He is sure of almost nothing (although he often puts on a public persona to let people think that he is okay), when in reality, he is very sad and very down.  Depending on what happened, he may never take you back.........The heartbreak could have been more than he could bear.  For breaking his heart, you have lost his trust, as well..  You must rebuild this trust little by little, and you must show him that you will not break his heart again.  He must be convinced that his heart and soul is safe within yours , that his name is safe within your lips.  This will be very hard for you to accomplish............You must help to rebuild his heart, his soul, his mind, his confidence, his love, and his trust, among so many other things.  Give him a new (and true this time) sense of security.
