If a good friend was going through a real difficult time with a break-up, and their heart was really broken. They asked you as a friend, how to heal their heart, what would you say. Would you tell them, it takes time to heal a broken heart, it will go away. There is no cure, for a broken heart. Would you tell them don't worry there are more men, or woman someone will come along. What would you say? I don't know?

Time.
Find good things about your life and count your blessings.
Take time and do things that you like to do.
It's been so long since my heart was broken romantically, but you have to look within yourself and realize that it just takes time.

Susie I couldn't have said it better.Too many people jump into a rebound romance and end up hurting either the new person in their life or themselves.It's sad that some people don't think they can be alone and not lonley For me it came with age and experience

Wish I could help you out with that question. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as your friend. Trying not to ask "why?" And wondering how to move on. It is so true that I want to just jump into another relationship just to keep busy, but there are other things I know I should be focusing on. Regardless, that dull achy feeling in my throat, heart and stomach is there - and i think it's going to be for a long time.

AWW!! I know EXACTLY how you feel!! It will take a long time and that feeling will be there. But, you have to remember that you were fine before you met that person, and even though you may wonder how... Just as they said.. Only time will heal the pain. I was in a relationship for 5 years, engaged and all. I loved him like no other. Well, he decided I wasn't the one, and ran off w/a woman he worked with 10 years older than him, and more money than me. I guess he wanted a sugar mama LOL.. But, I drank a shot or 2 of whiskey each night just to dull the pain enough to fall asleep. I did this for 2 weeks, then realized.. I don't live my life for him... I live it for me.. and the Brooks -N- Dunn song, "It's Getting Better All The Time" ... Somehow helped me through. You'd think it make it worse.. But, it didn't. I admire any woman starting over on her own. Noone knows the strength it takes, until you have to do it! You show them how is more important to you and kick some butt!!!!

Try to keep their mind off it by getting them out and mingle with the crowd. Maybe take them fishing. Lots of Ice Cream.

Anything to keep their mind off it.

thats a simple awnser, a broken heart is only broken until it finds the right person

Time, is right. It takes time, but getting back out there and meeting new people helps to get your mind off of the lost love. It won't replace him/her right away, but seeing that there are others out there will help your friend to realize that life is waiting.

Pie..

Time, supportive friends, and lots of Willy WOnka candy bars....

I've found Gorilla Glue works real well. No, seriously, in my humble opinion, forgiveness is at the top of the list. Forgiveness prevents you from being trapped in your own cage of bitterness, anger and resentment imprisoned by paralysis--if you don't forgive, you can't move on with your life. Next comes Activity. Just like a patient after surgery, healing is promoted by movement. You can't move on until you start moving on. And also the realization that you MUST try again or you will be condemned to live in your own misery, the reality of the past becoming the reality of the future. Risk failure. It is worth the prize.

Hello Ohio Buckeyes!
I am the one who started this thread. I never thought, I would be the one with a saddened heart, again. On how I feel, not so good, but it will get better. A broken heart is like a dog bite. The pain will go away, but the scar last forever. A broken heart, is like a broken mirror, it's better to leave it as it is "Or hurt yourself trying to put the dang thing back together.
When you love someone, put their name in a circle, not your heart, because a heart can break, but the circle goes on forever. So now my heart, is now without a home. It's all good. I'm still getting lifes lesson's everyday.

I am going through the same thing right now and I would have to agree with the last gentleman. Forgiveness and freeing yourself from your pain and anger are the key. It allows for your heart to rest and heal whilst your head takes over in the driver's seat. With your head on straight you can begin to see what lies ahead and become excited about it!

Nothing can fully mend a broken heart. the cracks fade away and you feel normal, But just the least little thing could remind you of the heartbreak. Sad I know, But is a fact.... I know all too well.

Two things. First, I'd tell them that there's someone better for them and second, I'd try and make them laugh to feel better. There is a cure for a broken heart, time and hugs for those who care about a person.

i was always told time heals most wounds there are more guys girls out there u just haven't found the right one yet. why be broken hearted he or she isn't feeling any pain so why should u. look around theres more out there

Time, the right friends and a big piece of cheesecake.....

And did I mention, time....and it will be ok....and maybe even better.....take it as a learning experience and then run with it....

Well,i was once told"Better to have loved and lost than to have been taken for the long F#%kin ride".Not as funny as it is insightful.

Time heals all wounds, And there will be many stages of emotions.Once she or he gets past all that they will see the relationship and the other person through different colored glasses. And then they will realize it was the best thing that could have happened. It is best to let go of all the negative thoughts and feelings and to simply close the door. It will take time and once they can find closure, they will be able to move on with their lives. It really does take time though.

I know that when it happened to me ,I felt like someone through me off a cliff and beat the hell out of me when I hit the ground.
