This is not only a metaphor, and when a heart is “broken” it can kill you or your loved one. We all know of cases where someone’s partner dies and the remaining one dies soon after…Usually, it is because of physical trauma to the heart muscle caused by shock.

I have experienced this before so I know your claims are true.
Hello, Vidocka, I’m so sad to hear that you experienced such pain, my friend. I hope you never have to go through it again. Thank you for sharing your pain with us and may you be abundantly blessed.
For this reason, when an unthinking relative, who had gone to see my late husband at the hospital the day after he was placed there and during a procedure unexpectedly died, called me up right away and just blurted out he was dead, No sit down, breathe deep, I am sorry to tell you etc. She just threw it at me, So luckily I had been waiting for news and having some cold beer and smoking cigarettes due to my nervousness. Once I put down the phone to save myself from total shock and goodness knows what I sat back down continued to drink my beer, have a cigarette, and watch a movie while I let all this very carefully sink in and afterward I was able to pull myself together
Good Lord! how thoughtless we can be as humans. And we call ourselves civilized, a cut above the animals. I am so sorry to have brought back those painful moments, Sandra, I should have known this article might hurt someone. Maybe, if I shared my experience with you, you would understand why I wrote it after finding out why my heart went funny since my leg amputation. The Surgeon, told nursing staff, the day before, to change the wound dressing ointment to one that caused inflammation several weeks before. He wouldn’t listen to the staff when they told him I was allergic to that dressing. So, he told them he was the surgeon and not them. They then reluctantly went ahead with the wrong ointment. That night, I had a high fever and blacked out several times. The doctor lived on the hospital grounds so they called him. When he removed the dressing my foot had swollen to almost double its size. I annoyed him and in anger; he took a scalpel and stabbed the swollen lump; They call it lancing), into the swelling and at that moment, I felt as though my heart stopped beating from the pain, there was blood everywhere.
Ever since, when I get anxious, I experience a stabbing pain in my heart.
P.S. I did what I could to bring him to book, but no one was present when he cut me without an aneastethic. He died soon after and I decided not to push charges.
Thank you, Alex, for sharing your story. See now whatever happened during my husband’s procedure, of course, could not be helped, but I could not help wondering what all was done to him, No sense thinking back now but who knows if things could have been different, The hospital system there leaves much to be desired.
Absolutely, this almost happened to me after losing Dustin. I know for a fact this is real.
It’s absolutely true Carol and I can well imagine what it must have done to you.
I actually wanted to die, that is the amount of pain I experienced. Went to the ER once thinking I was having a heart attack.
Oh, my gosh, Carol, I’m so sorry you had to go through this trauma, my friend.No parent should ever have to go through this. XOXO
