One can die of a broken heart, says study

SPEED
By SPEED

It is possible to die from a broken heart, according to a study which showed that the risk of death increases by up to a fifth in the months after the loss of a loved one.

The review of recent research on bereavement found that the psychological distress it causes spouses can greatly increase their chances of dying soon afterwards....

Sorry I haven't read the article nor the comments that follow, but this hardly comes as surprising news to me. Of course we can die of a broken heart...losing a loved one is one of the saddest things that can happen to us and as a result we lose the joy for life and feel depressed, which has a direct impact in our physical health.

My grandfather died last year and my grandmother has been very depressed ever since, a couple of months later she fell really sick and has been diagnosed with cancer. She keeps saying that she wants to die and join her husband, I think she died the same day my grandfather did.

But I always believe that everything happens for a reason. It hurts a lot when somebody you love is gone but as they always say LIFE GOES ON. And most of all, have faith in God. Pray for your loved one for his life after death and for you to have more strength to live.

u go girl! u did the right thing by leaving his sorry ass!

I think we should give our loved ones chances, afterall love is about forgiveness and understanding but when the other partner starts abusing or taking us for granted, then we should walk out that door and never look back cause we damn well deserve better! Let me hear y'all say AMEN! lol

Well said ... ;-)

Yes they are called love birds, last time when my wife was due for delivery, i bought her love birds and told her we will free them so that they can live and love freely ..

u know what !!one of the bird managed to flew from the open window,,, after few minutes the bird in the cage started crying/shouting/calling him in her language loudly (whatever you say to her/his voice) ... trust me within few secs we heard the reply from outside somehere in other building .. so i kept the cage out of the window and waited,,, the other bird managed to reached the cage and very slowly i pulled the cage inside the room and managed to birng the bird back in the cage ,,, next day morning we went to graden and free them !!!

Next day Al Mighty Allah blessed us with a beautiful healthy baby boy .. he is 4 now.

yeah right easier said than done. i agree with you. sometime in my life i used to be like that...keep on loving and caring for him though he take it for granted..i said to myself what can i do i love him and i cant live without him.....i cried a lot everynight begging for him to answer my calls and text...after so many times my heart turn into stone...hahahahahahahaha who can blame me? now...im learning to move on.

ok,i never lost someone because he died,so im sure i cant really imagine how it feels.i just can talk about broken friendships/relations.in that issue im am expert.:-( first time is verry hard but then when my mind is clear again i say to myself i can be happy because i shared a time of my life with him/her and my memories will always live.maybe she/he is no longer a part of my life now but i remember the time we had and as i told before,life goes on and brings other peoples into it.some may say how can i talk like this when you loose one of your family members but we have to accept our time on earth is limited and we cant make to stay someone forever,as much as we want or wish,we cant.

It's alot easier said than done blue_blazer, we can't just stop caring about someone cause they don't care about us. I wish there was a remote control to just switch on and off our emotions whenever we wanted! But ur right, we should move on...after crying our eyes out, eating ton of icecream and watching a sad movie ofcourse lol.

Speed, that's what my cat does...hmmm...wonder if he's depressed after his gf dumped him!

There's a certain species of birds that can't live alone, it has to have a partner and if that partner dies, then the bird will soon die as well. Hmmm...does anyone know what that bird is called ? Maybe Lovebird? Duno.

Anyways, ofcourse someone can die of a broken heart, the depression and stress that's caused from loosing someone can lead to many heart problems, which eventually lead to a heart attack, or worse, death. Ofcourse this is only an extreme case. Everyone gets depressed or stressed in their life time, and are able to recover, it is those who go into a deep spiral of loneliness, emptiness, depression, etc that are at medical risk.

Absolutejaguar...go eat icecream, it'll make u feel better :)

just smile.....and learn to accept things. oftentimes we are having hard time to accept things that are not meant to be thats why we suffer from depression...we try to figure out whats wrong and ended up sad...

Hi there,

I think you are very wrong about your statement, because often older people who have been a lifetime together often die within weeks of the demise of the partner.

I think when you are young it is much easier to recover, and even then it is often difficult as if your heart is broken it needs time to mend depending on what kind of person you are.

Hi there,

hey that booth of hs is so full of sins there is no room inside it anymore lol.

most of us can manage it and don't go too deep into depression.. but let's say a weak person gets depressed (of broken heart or for whatever reason), and if the depression is not treated, and the person cannot handle it by him/herself... it really might cause the physical illness, it's proved.

that's why the saying "take it easy" is so popular.. we DO have to take it easy sometimes, otherwise we may end up with paying by our health or even life.

How can you say "NOBODY" dies .. you can say few people die but not all .... it also depends on the nature of death (the cause of death) which might impact so hard that one can crash !

Thats why it's always said "LIVE WITH PEACE AND LOVE" no one knows if he is going to wake up in the morning or not ...

sure, it’s known… depression - if it’s not taken care of - always leads to the physical diseases. Of course it doesn’t mean that death of broken heart happens instantly.. but long-term and not treated properly depression will cause the physical illnesses which eventually might lead to death.

Life always goes on.When you loose a beloved one in the first time you think you will not survive but time heals all wounds and so i think nobody dies of a broken heart.
