The sad thing about a broken heart is that, one cannot do anything about it. The heart broken person must go through a great deal of emotional pain. Some get over it quicker than others. Nevertheless, the pain is still real. When one’s heart  feels like it is aching, and chest seems to constantly be on fire and one’s stomach feels like it has knots in it, along with constantly being upset, the ” Broken Heart Syndrome “, has taking place in that person’s life. People’s hearts are broken for a variety reasons. The lost of a love one, due to death, a love relationship that did not workout, or a betrayal of a family member or best friend. Regardless of how an individual’s heart has been broken, being heart broken can emotionally drain an individual and it can wear the person out.  It can also  affect one’s health. I have even read a few studies whereby a person could actually die from being heart broken, because of the affect that it has on the body. Many physicians say that the symptoms of a broken heart are similar to that of a heart attack, such as chest pains, the shortness of breath, fatigue  and dizziness. A broken heart cannot neither be taken lightly nor as a joke. One type of heart-break that most of us have probably experienced, is the breakup of a girlfriend or boyfriend or a husband or a wife. Especially when that person has  lefted you for someone else, and it does not matter whether you are 22 or 62, the pain will still be there. Now I know that their are a lot of individuals out there, who think that after a certain age, one’s heart cannot be broken romantically, but this is simply not true, because love does not stop at a certain age. A broken heart can happen at any age, and those who either have gone through it, or who are going through it, know exactly what I am talking about. When an individual is going through a heart-break, after his or her mate has left them for someone else, making the follow statements to the heart-broken person does not help:

 (a) There are more fish in the sea;

 (b) I could have told you that he or she was no good;

 (c) Start dating someone else, and this will help you get over that person faster;

 (d) When you first introduced me to that person, I could tell that he or she was not right for you;

 (e) I am glad you two are not together anymore, because you were involved with a loser;

 (f) Maybe God is trying to tell you something;

 (g) This shall passed too, things happen in life for a reason.

 The above statements really do not help the person who is heart broken, in fact such statements may exacerbate the pain that the individual is going through, because logic is dead when feelings are involved. The only solution for one with a broken heart, is allow time to heal one’s heart, and I am not speaking just from head knowledge, but, I have had my heart broken a few times in my life, and believe me, it is no joke.
