Answer 1

having to lie to my mother about why i didn't come home from school to start dinner and pick up the house.
I couldn't tell her my dad was taking inapproprate snap shots of me. I lied when I told her I put a lock on my door, because my dad would scare me at night. He would sneak in my roon and I opened my eye's, only a little bit, and I could hear him breathing heavy. I was so scare of him.

Answer 2

the day I lost my best friend. ( tears in my eyes again, even after 3 + years)

his name was LUKE

this is something I wrote soon after he was gone.

A FRIEND WHO WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED
On September 10, 2003 the closest thing to me died. His name was LUKE.
He was "mans best friend" for 18 years. We had a great time during those years.
18 years ago I bought a dog and about 3 weeks after i had him, the vet told me he had to be put to sleep because he was suffering from an internal problem that gave him constant pain. I was sad but did not want him to continue to suffer, so I did as the vet said.


A few days later I saw an ad in the local paper about a 3 month old mix breed male dog that a guy could not keep in his apt. So i went and met him and LUKE for the first time. He looked like a bear cub , with the most cute face. I said that I would take Luke off the guys hands.


Our life began .......and got better each day we were together. We did everything together....ride in a car....swimming on beach into the ocean....fishing in the ocean off a boat....fishing off a pier ....even looking for girls. In other words we were always together.


One thing that i loved best about him is that he had the most beautiful smile. And as i type I am looking at a pic of him smiling. my eyes are full of water and tearing also. He always had to keep an eye on me...even if i walked out the door for 1 min or 1 day , he never would leave the spot that he last saw me. And when i returned he would hug and kiss me for at least 5 mins , non stop. One thing that was funny to me was that he could be so sneeky doing anything. If there was a wrapper from anything that i just eat, he would get at it no matter what stood in his way.


I know that i can never find another like him. this uis why my heart hurts so much. I knew that he loved me and he knew that i loved him.


LUKE would never ever let me carry him in my arms like a baby. however on the day that i took him to the vet, i carried him like that and he just layed his head against my neck. he knew where we were going, and he knew that it was the only thing that could help him now. His legs had become like rubber and he was not able to even get up any more.
the night before i took him to the vet , he tried again and again to get up , but he could not. Once he realized this , he began to slam his head on the floor at great force. I think he was trying to kill him self this way. When i would lay next to him , he would stop the banging and just lay there , but not look me in the eyes. He always looked me in the eyes, so i knew that it was time.


I have cried for 4 days now and just today have started to smile when i think about him. HE WAS MY VERY BEST EVERYTHING.






L U K E ..... I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU .

Answer 3

Lies
Nothing hurt more than lies
not just one but many
over many years
I finally put myself in a place of strength and let go
but by then I had realized that I did not know that person at all
despite spending a decade with them
both scary and heartbreaking
But now I am in love again
with someone too sensitive of a human being to lie
they just say what is on their mind, good or bad. I prefer it that way. Its real and healing for me. Never allow someone string you along by telling you what you want to hear. Or fool you with crocodile tears. It is the one that will tell you when they are sad, angry, glad, no holds barred, that is true and worthy of your friendship, love and respect. I learned it the hard way!

Answer 4

In May of 06 I lost my beautiful 19 year old daughter. My first born . I will for the rest of my life be broken hearted. This is a wound that will never heal. I am still struggling to find a way to live with her absence. I know I will never accept it. I have been thru so much in my life and I thouhgt nothing could break me for long , I always got back up,but her death is something I am not sure that I can survive.

Answer 5

It was the death of my mom six months after we got married. My greatest sadness was for her not being able to enjoy a long and healthy life, to be taken by God at such an young age. And for me, not only did I miss her terribly (and still do) but it also was the realization that she was gone (but not forgotten) and that I would not be able to share my life with her, i.e. raising my children (who would never know their grandma), going shopping, asking her advice, gabbing on the phone, etc. Her passing left such an empty void in my life that did indeed break my heart that still is mending slowly ...

Answer 6

When my Mother died...my heart actually felt broken/dead. I have never ever felt that way before or after. I realized that I was moaning out loud (in front of my children) so I had to get a grip on myself. But, the feeling is something that Mr. Webster has not found a word to describe.

Answer 7

When I was 19 and my ex was 20 and we had been through so much and I tried so much to make our relationship work and then I found out that not only was he going to start seeing a 15 year old freshman when he was almost a junior in college, but that he had slept with a 13 year old girl. Not only did it break my heart, but it made me feel filthy considering the rule that whoever your mate has slept with, you have slept with.

Answer 9

My answer is so simple it is not for points!

One thing! Been there OK.

Next really heart breaking the number and kinds of answers to this little question: love hurts. No one can absorb all that pain. It would not be good for you.

Answer 10

when I grew up and realised that life doesn't ever work out how you planned it...it was a sad time when I realised that there isnt a happily every after, there is just life and you need to make the most of it cos sometimes it sucks and sometimes it hurts and sometimes its boring and most of the time its hard, but it's life. This realisation broke my heart.
