Dying of a broken heart means to die from extreme sadness, grief and hopelessness. Commonly death by a broken heart occurs in romantic relationships, though can also be the result of a loss of intimate emotional attachment(s), rejection, deaths of family or friends or severe betrayal. Though in literary terms symptoms are easy listed, the true experience of suffering of a broken heart is indescribable according to those who have experienced it firsthand.
Perhaps because it is an experience such as loss or love; It can only be understood if felt.
Perhaps because it is an experience such as loss or love; It can only be understood if felt.
(I.e. A man's wife dies in a disastrous fire. Even though he tries to save her he is not able to get to her in time. Days go by and he has not eaten or slept or tried to contact family or friends. And work has failed to contact him, inquiring about his prolonged absence. Day and night he sits silently on the floor. At times crying hysterically and other times punching the walls and having violent fits. Within a week or a few days after, he dies from the overbearing and crushing grief of the loss of his beloved. Hence, "Died from a broken heart."
Once when I was young I watched a TV program that depicted young man and woman who fell in love rather quickly. It has been a long time since I saw the program, after it was six years ago. She left him, saying something along the lines of "we can't be together or she did not love him anymore." He spent three days wallowing in extreme grief, feeling rejected, alone and hopeless. After these three days he dies. If I am not mistaken it was a made up story. They traced its' origins and found the story to be mostly true. This man apparently "Died from a broken heart" according to the medical examiner and his apartment manager.

Get the Died from a broken heart mug.To have a favorite broken heart, means that you have one specific ex-boy/girlfriend, in which you are still friends with, or would like to be on good terms with, and think of the relationship as only a memory. You may feel sympathy for the breakup, and this person might still be in love with you, even if both of you have moved on, however you do not want to get back together with this person, and you wish this person nothing but the best. To go more into depth on what this means, it means that you have already moved on from this person, but you are thankful for the relationship and the fact that you experienced it with them, and you are always willing to maintain a healthy friendship.
If this doesn't make sense, think about this:
You have a boyfriend/girlfriend. The relationship is cool, and then you guys break up. You remember the relationship, and you are thankful that the relationship is over, but you are also thankful that you went through it, too, because you may have learned a lesson from the relationship, or you love how smooth things were going, DURING the relationship.
You can only have one, favorite broken heart. You would be willing to go through it all again, also.
It's like reading a good book, with a terrible ending.
This term, actually comes from the song by Tiffany Evans, "Favorite Broken Heart".

Get the The Dap of a broken heart mug.It's a feeling you can never understand until you experience it. It is a constant pain and discomfort that you struggle with all day. It is a sickness in your stomach and a knot in your throat. It is when eating becomes a battle to swallow and falling asleep becomes inconceivable. It is unrequited love. It is the loss of someone you love. It feels like you lost apart of who you are. You fight with yourself, trying to convince yourself you are fine. It's a constant swing in your emotions. Some moment are better than others. Sometimes you think it is almost over, but then, just as suddenly you are overwhelmed with a paralyzing pain that forces you stop and rest for a moment. You are always thinking about the other person. Imagining how happy they are, while you are barely hanging on. You think about how they have forgotten about you... How could it have been so easy for them. How could they have said they cared about you, but moved on you so effortlessly. You wonder, "how could you do this... How could you say you care about me and be so careless with your words and actions?" Soon these thoughts turn to anger. Anger that you use to get you through the day. Anger is what blocks out the saddness. Hate is the only escape from the saddness you are overwhelmed by. Unfortunately, the hate is only temporary. When it eats away at you until there is nothing left, you are back to where you started. Thinking about them, and how alone you are. Now you are left to cry, either on the inside or out, and making promises to yourself that you will never let this happen again.
She was reckless with her words... Part of you thinks she said was she said, and did what she did, because she loved what you gave her. She did what she had to do to make sure you kept giving her love... even if that ment building you up and leaving you heart broken.
