You never know what you've got until it's gone...

Have you ever heard that saying? What if you know what you've got but then its gone? That's when the pain is worse. You know they have actually proven recently that you can actually die of a broken heart. ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11446-2005Feb9.html ) Bob Stein from the Washington Post wrote on valentines day that
"A traumatic breakup, the death of a loved one or even the shock of a surprise party can unleash a flood of stress hormones that can stun the heart, causing sudden, life-threatening heart spasms in otherwise healthy people...The phenomenon can trigger what seems like a classic heart attack and can put victims at risk for potentially severe complications and even death, the researchers found. By giving proper medical care, however, doctors can mend the physical aspect of a "broken heart" and avoid long-term damage."
This did not surprise me not one bit. Break-ups, death, losing a friend all cause someone to feel sudden pain that can last for long periods of time. it can also cause long term depression which can lead to vertigo. What do we do now? How can we stop this? The answer is, we can't.
