It will for several reasons. One is your own thoughts and how you deal with your broken heart. If you allow yourself to feel that pain and then really let it go that will do wonders. Even the idea that you will meet someone else if you choose to will let you mend those tears in your heart. I know these feelings all to well. I have always been one to hold onto memories and feelings that I shared with that special person. Not often do I see members from Oregon so i Welcome you to the CS Forums. I hope you feel a healing soon.

No it won't. But your mind will grow and move on when you choose to, and then your heart won't hurt any more.

When I was 27, I had a severe heart break. The initial pain lasted 9 months. The right side of my nostril is permanently collapsed from blowing my nose everyday for 9 months.

Yes, but I think you have to work on it. Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and thinking of the person won't help you with moving on. Go out with friends, do things you enjoy and actually try to move on yourself will get you over it. handshake

Reading some of these post here reminded me of my last real heart break in life. A friend told me she would not tell me I would get over it just that I would learn to live with it and move on. She was right. Some heart aches you just don't get over, and others I have looked back on and wondered what was all that hurting for what was I thinking laugh Either way just always keep putting one foot in front of the other till you get to the othersidewine

It depends upon what you want the most.

If you want to hold on to a miniscule part of that person forever, choosing to having a broken heart forever is the best option.

Its one of the most difficult things about grieving for a loved one who has died, as well: If we let go of the freshness of the pain, we start to let go of the person we loved and start to accept they are no longer with us.

Grieving is entirely necessary and we should allow ourselves the time to do that, but we may also choose to celebrate all the good things we learned and gained from that person by passing it on to others.

In a way i think that's what i do, i don't want my heart to mend as it's a tangible reminder that Ben was once alive and by hanging on ever so slightly to the pain i still have him with me. Is that strange or wrong?angel

It is the pain of missing what I had. When I sit at a grandchilds graduation from school I cannot help but to feel he should of been here he put so much into theirs, our lives. My daughter is getting married next weekend, first time a big white wedding. The pain I feel tug at my heart when she looked and said I have no one to dance the father daughter dance with. So I moved on I learned to do a dance called the wobble and the wedding party is going to get up and do that. That should be entertaining uh oh Only a parent that loves a child would be willing to get up and do something like that. laugh But I know what you are saying. You cannot just erase their presence. You learn to move on. Same with my mum I miss her also. The pain with me is all self centered. It is not so much about them as about me teddybear

You may be devastated but you are not defeated.peace

Sometimes it takes a while to lick our wounds and get back in the saddle again, but you will. 7 months is still fresh, IMO.

Best wishes.

Have done a lot of grief counselling, it takes a woman on average about 5 years to get over the loss of a relationship. Men on average take about 2 years.

These are the statistics.

Don't focus on them, but focus on the truth that one day you will wake up and be able to live your full life again.

Having been there, I can say that it will happen. Just give yourself time, and find positive things to do and positive people to hang out with. It will help.

No, it neither strange, nor wrong.

Its a natural part of grief and you're entitled to grieve in your own way.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the pain of losing Ben will never completely go away, nor will your memories of him. He will always be a part of who you are and therefore, will always be with you.

I don't think you need to be scared of losing him completely, whether you try to hold on to the pain, or not.

I can't begin to imagine how much you miss Ben.

That's a lie. I can begin to imagine it, but then I can choose not to go there because its too overwhelming to even contemplate.

I'm sorry you've lost that choice and have to be there.
