For me, heart is the most precious part of our body. When it is suffering, the whole body is also affected. There are moments that we are experiencing the feeling of having a heavy heart. This is mostly happened when we have a problem, particularly regarding love and relationship. Examples are when we are missing a person or when we can feel a coldness or change. What do you do in this kind of situation? What are the things you do to ease and lift up yourself? How do you handle a heavy heart? I would be glad to hear from you. Have a nice day!

This is how i do it sweetie. If someone turns cold or change towards me, i harden my heart to keep the pain away. I won't let anyone hurt me, no matter what. TATA.

Oh my, I typed an already-considered-as-a-novel for it's length only to find a 'cannot display webpage' page :-/ Life is beautiful indeed. For us to feel once in a while, we just have to think of the things we love. Say, myself who likes music a lot, just listen to feel good music after a heart break (i don't experience it often thoug) or a not so good situation. Then, I give myself like half a day for an ALONE time to think things through, but not so much. I just do it. Afterwards, I can now go out and have fun with family and friends. You mention COLDNESS or CHANGE. Well, there are only two constant things in this world is what they say: TAX and CHANGE. You have to accept change. It's part of the thrill we have in this world. Regarding coldness, I assume oyu're talking about wife/girlfriend. You may want to talk things over and you may also want to be more caring, more sensual and sweeter to her. If nothing from those seems to be working, you deserve a better person..sorry...I'm just saying..

Harold if you have lost a loved one all you can do is take life one day at a time. do not look down the corridors of the rest of your life as all that will do is make you cry some more. no just take a day at a time. You learn how to adapt and adjust. grief is different for each of us so you may need severals months before you are not so overwhelmed. but in the case of coldnee or some change between you and a person you love you need communication., so many relationships die because people will not talk things out, they let anger take over and just bail out. true sometimes the only cure is for one or the other to leave. but a lot of relationships could be saved by really sitting down and without anger discuss the situation and compromise perhaps.Music listening helps and keeping busy always help;.also go volunteer some time in a place where they really need help. when your are feeling good about helping someone else you have not timefor your own unhappiness. Also you may find that your little problem pales beside somone who maybe facing a long illness or is badly c rippled. we can always find tons of people who are worse off than we are and yet keep a smileon their faces.

First, I need to identify clearly what causes the burden in my heart. Is it because of a misunderstanding with a person? Is it due to missing someone who's far away. Is it something related to getting rejected? Once I identify the problem, I need to fix it as soon as possible. If it's a misunderstanding with someone, I might as well try to talk and patch things up with that person. If it's missing someone, I might as well see if I can keep in touch with that person and probably let him/her know that I'm missing them. Somehow, it will help to ease the burden. If it has something to do with getting rejected or not being considered in a job application, I might as well tell myself to do better and move on. Remember, all the pain we seldom have is already self inflicted if we let this emotional pain impair us to move on with our lives.

in my case, when i do have a heavy heart i usually day dream. there are times when i can't take it anymore, i do write it down. this was the reason why i was into writing poems. there are also moments that i let it out by crying. sometimes, i also call my friends and i would talk to them about how i feel. it depends on my mood on how i will handle the emotion. in conclusion. i find ways to let it out because it comes heavier as days goes by that i keep it to myself.

Scientifically, heart is really one of the most important part of the body,it pumps blood that will be used by all the organs connected to our body. They said that heart is the one that handles feelings like when you are nervous, your heart beats fast, when the one you admire most asked you for a date your heart beats faster in other way. It is sometimes a mystery when we talk about feelings that involves the heart because nobody could explain where the feelings came from, we just feel it. A heavy heart affects the whole body since organs have a connection to it. When a person feels a heavy hear, usually he cannot sleep, he has no apetite to eat, he seems to have lack of energy without doing a heavy work and many related effects. Of course you should not let this heavy heart always run your day. You have many choices how to handle a heavy hear, because I have already proven that, I broke with girlfriend 2 years before, we are already 5 years in relationship that time and it's really hart to move on. The things I did were I always go to my friend's house and have some entertainment like playing games, billiards, watching movies, etc. It's also better to socialize with people and meet some friends so that you pay your attention to other things, it is also better to go out of town. Simply make yourself busy and for sure you can say that I already forgot him/her.

Having a heavy heart is not good company but i think everyone experiences having one at times. My solution is to stay busy & try to keep my mind away from whatever is bothering me. i can really get alot of cleaning done when i have one.

It's really hard to carry a heavy heart especially when you feel helpless and hopeless. When i am down, the first thing i do is realizing my self at the same time relax and figure out if i'm still in control. Afterwards, i pray talk to my heart and offer it to god, so he will heal you as time goes by.
