Re: Missing someone..
it could be. ..like when hazrat Yaqoob lost his eyesight out of severe crying for his son Hazrat Yousef. life n death is in Allah's hands still sometimes extreme depression can lead u to heart attacks,mental break downs
just tell ur friend that negative thoughts n depressions r not a part of healthy thinking.if someone has died its nature's law.everyone of us has to go thru loss of our loved ones.
If someone has left its no worth crying over thats gone.
Re: Missing someone..
the person who HE is missing ..... is he/she alive???
Re: Missing someone..
Yes :(
Re: Missing someone..
I genuinely believe that my maternal grandfather died of a broken heart... :(
But you know what, he was old, he'd lived his life with his true love, seen his greatgrand/grand children, done and achieved so much.....
This guy sounds a little depressed... but has his whole life ahead of him.... support him and he'll come out of it hopefully....
Re: Missing someone..
I think for an older person. yes. Although dying of a broken heart is different to languishing in general.
Re: Missing someone..
No, you may think you are dying, but you really aren't. I mean we do survive even after losing a parent, sibling, spouse, or a child, right?
Re: Missing someone..
Anyone can survive...

What you're referring to is death from "heartache/heartbreak". I've read an article on that and it actually is possible, Gina. But the individual doesn't exactly die particularly from the emotional heartache itself......rather the person CAN die when the stress symptoms take their toll.
If you think about it......most people have experienced heartache, by they don't ALL necessarily die from it. In one article, I read that research indicates that most people (men and women) experience heartbreak by the time they are 25. And that's pretty young. But they don't necessarily die from it.
However, according to one article I read, it is possible to die from missing someone too much.......because as a result your stress levels elevate........and this can lead to heart problems (heart attack, for example). Or one might become seriously depressed and stop eating, stop taking care of themselves, and this can eventually lead to more serious health problems that can potentially kill you.
Some individuals could even commit suicide from severe depression. Also, age plays a factor too. The symptoms of stress are more dangerous for older people because they combine with other medical problems plaguing the elderly such as heart disease, etc. Younger people tend to have more stronger and resilient bodies.
The chances of this happening are not very high, Gina. But it can happen.......if one lets stress levels sky-rocket beyond control.
Broken Heart Syndrome is a real medical situation that is often caused by the death of a love one. I think very recently I heard of a woman died of broken heart syndrome (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy)
Re: Missing someone..
i hope so
already enough wusses on this planet
No way.I mean for example you spend time with someone,then if you seperate everything gets normal with time.I mean this is human nature to forget good or bad things with time.
For instance our life goes on...nothing stops,n you start living without that person.
My auntie's young son passed away in a car accident ...he was the only boy n parents doted on him.Initially they were very upset ,obviously.But now,they are living....without him.And the pain has receded
Re: Missing someone..
Well, physically NO you cannot die because you are missing someone soooooo much.
But TECHNICALLY - each and every second you are DYING until you get to "recover" from this "loneliness".
Tell your friend to take a 4 weeks trip to another country - far away from where he/she is right now... far away from the person he/she is missing ... to be able to "remove" the person from thoughts, and "occupy" your thoughts with other positive things.
It's difficult, but doable!
