In my profession I have SEEN it!

I am a cardiac nurse, by speciality, and I have noticed that folks who have to have bypass surgery are often depressed, very, very sad people. Not only cause they had to have heart surgery, but when talking to them they have always experienced some profound loss in their lives, often involving a loved one.

My heart has been "broken" many times and now I am a heart patient myself, same for my bfriend.

He tried his best to make sure she would adjust to his passing, but nothing he done eased anything in the end. She just couldn't go on. She always said he was the love of her life and her soulmate. He also felt the same.

i know of a similar story of heartbreak...not between lovers or husband and wife but between father and daughter..

Usually that happens with old couples who were together all their life.Itīs like they really dont know how to live without the other one - they cannot stand to be here and not to feel the otherīs presence.

I know some couples who happened that - all old people.

My grandmother (mother of my mother) died in a very young age, when she was only 36 years old (her youngest daughter, my aunt, had been 2 years old at that time; both uncles have been around the age of 12 and 14; and my mum had been 17 years old).

My grandfather had loved her really much (even though their relationship had a lot of tragedy and struggles; for example their second son drowned and died, when he was 2 years old, and my mum had to watch it; she was only 4 years old then ), but my grandfather didn`t die, after my grandmother did.

I think partly he managed to stay alive after her death, because he had such young children who needed to be cared for. My mum took a lot of responsibility for her brothers and sisters; she had to, because my grandpa was working shifts and couldn`t be there all the time. But I think his children were what kept him alive.

He never remarried or had another partner. He never looked at any other woman. The concept of "romance and relationship" died with my grandmother, at least for him; he lived for over 30 years after her death, and he loved her and mourned for her until he died himself. Actually he had talked to my mum the night before he died about how much he was missing his wife.

Actually he was a very distant, choleric character at times, a loner, who just couldn`t manage with too much human contact. My grandmother was the only one he ever let close to his heart I guess (and some girl in Italy before he met her).

It`s a real tragedy, cause he couldn`t even show any feeling or love to his own sons. He loved my mother and my aunt a lot though. And I know I was special to him; sometimes it seemed even more special than my brothers. At least he payed more attention to me and cared more for me (as much as he was capable of showing care; don`t get me wrong; he cared a lot for his family, but he couldnīt show it in an emotional way) than for them.
But I guess one reason for this might have been that I am the spitting image of my deceased grandmother. Especially now as I have gotten older.

But what I wanted to say is, that sometimes a broken heart never heals, like it was in that case.

His mother drank herself to death. As far as I see it, the real cause of her death was a broken heart, not the drink.

How many years ago? *thinks* 22? Seems like yesterday.
