Have you known real heartbreak?

Question

Have you recovered?

Answer 1

2 months after I married my wife. My dad died at age 54. Leaving a broken-hearted Mom, a distraught, devistated teenage daugther, a family business in shambles, and me at 25 to handle everything. I had to drive his car (in which he died from heart attack in) home that night. That was f-ucked up.

However, he made me into a man by passing away. 4-years later, Mom's fine, sister's getting on with college, family business is saved and doing better then ever before. And we just had our second daughter.

However two years in my home town team the White Sox winning the World Series definetly helped me take my mind off of problems.

But a day doesn't pass by without the thought and heart-pang that he never had the chance to bounce his grandaughter on his knee.

Answer 2

depends what you mean by 'real heartbreak'. i suppose that when it comes to rejection, the heartbreak suffered depends on how much you loved the person who does the breaking. it all relative. every time we're dumped or turned down, it's like a mini-heartbreak. i don't pretend to know true love, but i think you can be in love more than once. there's someone for everyone, and in a lotta cases there are millions of chances. i've known 'real heartbreak' yeah, because i reckon i screwed up one of my chances. and no, i havn't completely recovered i suppose, but i know i will. it'll just take time. and every little heartbreak, however corny this sounds, teaches you something. eg, i now know not to let the opinions of other people ruin a relationship with someone. i know to just let them think what they will, and sod the lot of them. if you love someone, who cares?

Answer 3

Yes, I have known real heartbreak, and one never completely recovers, however every day, it seems to hurt a little bit less.

Answer 4

Yes. And if you ever recover fully then it wasn't real heartbreak in the first place.

Answer 5

yes, many times and I am still recovering. The one that I have never forget is when my husband told me that if I cannot have kids for him, he will marry another woman to get him kids. Since then, I feel insecure and sad. My husband is a good man but these words was a heartbreaking, specially, I know he meant it.

Answer 6

yes 6yrs ago when my wonderful mother died Ive never felt pain like that ever before Ive now accepted the horrible realisation that she will never be here in a physical way again but in my heart and mind she is here all the time so Ive sort of recovered from the heartbreak but its been a long road.

Answer 7

Yes, you learn to cope with the situation... the pain minimizes, but, it never goes away it always lingers somewhere in the back of your grey matter.

True heartbreak is a very seldom occurance. In today's society it is confused with a daily happening...of something someone thought they should have and did not get... a tantrum, maybe.

Answer 8

I don't think I can fully express this (though I have experienced heartbreak)

We enjoy warmth because we have been cold.
We appreciate light because we have been in darkness.
By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.
-David Weatherford

If I had not known heartbreak, I wouldn't have known true happiness.

This explains how love dies.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
-Anais Nin

because of this, heartbreak has happened...
yes my heart has been broken, and yes i am slowly recovering
