Broken heart

Hello all
I read today that when you lose someone like your partner you can literally die of a broken heart. Surely this would apply to losing your mum I can only relate to this experience. I lost my mum and since she left me I have been going through this broken heart for nearly 7 years. I am. Surprised that I haven’t died from a broken heart. Each day I have had this horrible feeling my heart pumps more than it should I can feel the hurt deep in my chest not just my entire being. Don’t get me started on the sadness I feel every day.
This heart break I would never wish it on my worst enemy I just want it to stop. I know it will never go away as much as I want it to

Steven, I feel the same. My heart is hurting - it feels as if it’s breaking. My father was euthanised in hospital on 3 August this year and I can’t stop thinking about how badly he was treated there when he was at his most vulnerable and about how I didn’t manage to stop it. I feel so overwhelmingly sad for him and so guilty that it happened on my watch. It’s even worse now that I’ve read his medical records and seen how he was being coerced onto an end of life pathway. He died a horrible death and I’m completely traumatised by it. Like you, I know I can never recover from this.

I lost my mum last month and can relate to everything you have said. It’s just horrendous. I feel like my heart has been torn in two. It’s like a gut wrenching horrible pain inside and deep sadness.

I know the feeling like I know the feeling it’ll be with me all my life. I just wish I got to say how much I loved my num. I never said it enough when my num was here. I don’t think I was a good son. I let my num down so much. I reckon my mum must of been disappointed in me and she had every right to be. I long to sit with my mum and to hear tell me I feel what i wouldn’t give for that to happen. That’s why everyday I tell my dad I love him he’s an amazing dad. I know I could lose him anytime losing my mum has made me realise that. All my life my dad has been there for me. We are closer than we have ever been since my mum left us. I feel lost without my mum and I know when I lose my dad the loneliness I feel now will be so much worse I doubt I’ll be able to carry on. It’s hard to now
