Quote by: Maryjane  The question: Can you die of a broken heart? | Society | The Guardian
Extreme grief can trigger atrial fibrillation. It's happened to many widowed people I know. It also happened to me. I know a few people that have committed suicide over the loss of their spouse.
We talked about this last night in chat. Take a walk in a cemetery and notice on the head stones how many senior couples die within a short time of each other. |
Yes.. it can kill you. Grief. Or it can lead one to take crazy risks that lead to death. Or suicide. The immune system can weaken too.. leaving one open to..??
At any rate.. it feels like your heart is splintered into dust, and you wish you were dead. The song.. "Evening Falls" (Enya) - it feels like that 24/7for a long time..
"lost in oceans of night" - that is the feeling.
When the evening falls
And the daylight is fading,
From within me calls
Could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray,
Then it holds me completely
Close to home - I cannot say
Close to home feeling so far away
As I walk the room there before me a shadow
From another world, where no other can follow
Carry me to my own, to where I can cross over
Close to home - I cannot say
Close to home feeling so far away
Forever searching; never right,
I am lost in oceans of night.Forever hoping I can find memories
Those memories I left behind
Even though I leave will I go on believing
That this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
Like a child passing through,
Never knowing the reason
I am home - I know the way
I am home - feeling oh, so far away...
