love hurts......

I just finished talking to a friend, she broke up with her long time boyfriend! I was astounded, never knew it would happen! Their relationship gone so far, infact, longer than my marriage with L. She was extremely broken hearted, torn-apart and feel like the world crumbling beneath her. I know there's no comforting words right now, the pain is so deep that she have trouble thinking of anything else. She feels like not matter to anyone and that there is no more hope. It hurts to hear her cry and I feel her pain, how I wish to be near and just hug her tight.

She was weeping really piteously and in between sobs, she asked me "how to mend a broken heart?" hmmm, been there, than that......

We all suffer from a broken heart at one time or another during the course of a lifetime. Some say a heartaches cannot, in all honesty, be completely mended, only sutured. I told her healing a broken heart will take time, but is not impossible, though it may feel that way at the time. It is never an easy process to go through, and it's perfectly normal to feel sad and cry. It's understandable if you grieve all your own, however it is healthy if you talk it out with friends, like we did. It will mend your heart quicker because you will release the thoughts and facts that are hurting you so much. Learn to forgive, to accept, and finally letting go and moving on.....

Ofcourse, I reminded her that love is a wonderful feeling (which she just experienced) and should not be generalized based from past experiences. Love may hurt at times, but it never hold grudges, infact, it's patient and kind.
