how can you mend a broken heart?

February 20, 2012 12:26pm CST
I have some friends who are broken hearted and I am their comforter but now I guess it's my turn to get comfort..gosh! It's all because of misunderstandings, our situation, our differences. For me, it's quiet tough to have the same arguments as before. We are living far from each other, but the amount of time we dwell just to communicate everyday is amazing and I'm afraid losing him means opening my eyes to a sad reality that I am alone..:(

Your situation is same other people have. Usually, the comforter find hard to look for comfort from other people even with their friends. Mainly because, they are being visioned as a much stronger person than them, or being inspired in a relationship as compared to them (with your friends). I suggest you to recall everything all the good and bad things fairly underwent in your relationship. His actions, your actions, his thoughts and your thoughts. Gather all your and his weaknesses and strengths during the relationship. If you need to cry all these things.. then do so to release all the pains inside you.. ASk yourself why your relationship was ended when you are afraid loosing him but he is not afraid loosing you? When you got the answers to this? USe your strengths to find that time to heal and recover yourself slowly from the sad past and divert your activities to those who will not directly involve him.. Accept in yourself your weaknesses and his, thereby you can recover from the sad part of the relationship. Accept his mistakes and move on with life ahead of you. I am sure many will welcome you with an open heart.. Life must go on..you deserve to be happy..

Oh I know that feeling. We are living far away from each other and fight same thing as always. But thank God we get through and be well again. Don't rush yourself. Don't be afraid to let yourself mourn for what you are leaving behind you, and if you need an outlet, consider engaging yourself with music, movies, or hang out with your friends. Most importantly, if you need to talk, share your feelings with someone you trust.

That is the reality of a long distance relationship. I myself is into it and its ending is still uncertain despite the nine years of being "together" though there was a time, almost two years of no communication and I thought "that was it"...For five years, our communication was so strong there wasn't a day he wouldn't call me but as he went away to work as a seafarer, the communication became lesser until such time that he no longer communicated. During that time, I have also conditioned myself that in a way, if our relationship is meant to be, then let it be but if not, then let it be again...Besides,why be in a relationship when it gives you only stress. I am grateful, there is Facebook which have made us reunited and it is a long story to write here. Just think positively that everything always happened with a reason. Enjoy life and look forward to finding another love of your life.

Everyone is different, but generally the best way is just to pick up your feet and move on. A broken heart will hurt and make you feel sad, and that's normal! It's important to recognize that it's ok to feel sad for awhile. That's part of the healing process. But don't wallow in your sorrow for too long. Get out and do things to keep busy. If you just stay in the house and spend a lot of time alone, you'll start to become depressed. So just continue doing the things you like to do. The best thing to do is just pick up your feet and move on. If you broke up, you broke up. Feeling sad forever won't change it, so just keep following your dreams and moving forward. Don't get stuck in a rut! And be sure to talk about it as much as you need to, too. Don't bottle up your feelings! Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

The best choice is to let it go.. We need to believe that everything that happen to us are good for us.. Because we can take a lesson from each of that.,

If your in a long distance relationship your always broken hearted because you dont ever get to see the one you truly care about so its hard to have a well mended heart at all in a long distance realationship. Its really at times not worth it unless there are kids invovled and a good paying job. If you want to mend your broken heart do things you enjoy doing and maybe talking to your loved one will help everyday as well and tell him how you are feeling.

I'm sorry you have a broken heart. =( Long distance relationships are so difficult, I hate it. I would try to keep communicating through your problems and maybe you can work things out. I don't know the situation but talking calmly instead of arguing would help. To mend a broken heart you should surround yourself with uplifting people and keep yourself busy and occupy your mind with things you enjoy. Hobbies are a great thing to keep your mind and time occupied. Sitting around not doing anything you will dwell on the hurt and the pain. I hope things get better for you soon.

You are not alone. Many people have difficulties in their relationships as I'm sure you know from your friends. Don't stress about losing him, rather spend the energy that you would stressing on working on your relationship. Relationships require maintenance and work and both must have their full heart in it. If one of the people is not pulling their weight, that is when it gets difficult for the other to continue on.
