The
Pain
of
Heartbreak:
Why
Losing
Love
Hurts
so
Much Few
experiences
in
life
are
as
painful
as
heartbreak.
Whether
it’s
the
end
of
a
long-term
relationship
or
a
brief
romance
that
never
blossomed,
the
pain
of
losing
love
can
leave
us
feeling
shattered
and
lost.
But
why
does
it
hurt
so
much,
and
what
can
we
do
to
mend
our
broken
hearts? The
answer
lies
in
the
biology
of
love.
When
we
fall
in
love,
our
brains
release
a
flood
of
chemicals
like
dopamine,
oxytocin,
and
serotonin,
which
create
intense
feelings
of
pleasure
and
connection.
Over
time,
we
become
addicted
to
these
feelings,
and
our
bodies
begin
to
crave
the
presence
of
our
partner
like
a
drug. When
the
relationship
ends,
our
brains
go
into
withdrawal,
and
we
experience
symptoms
similar
to
drug
addicts
going
cold
turkey.
We
may
feel
physical
pain,
like
a
tightening
in
the
chest
or
a
knot
in
the
stomach.
We
may
also
feel
emotional
pain,
like
sadness,
anger,
and
anxiety.
These
feelings
can
be
overwhelming,
and
it’s
easy
to
feel
like
the
pain
will
never
go
away. But
there
are
steps
we
can
take
to
heal
our
broken
hearts.
The
first
is
to
give
ourselves
time.
Like
any
addiction,
the
withdrawal
from
love
takes
time
to
fade.
We
need
to
be
patient
and
kind
to
ourselves,
and
avoid
rushing
into
new
relationships
before
we’re
ready. We
can
also
focus
on
self-care.
This
means
taking
care
of
our
physical
and
emotional
needs,
like
getting
enough
sleep,
eating
nutritious
food,
and
engaging
in
activities
that
bring
us
joy.
It
also
means
seeking
support
from
friends
and
family,
or
even
a
therapist,
who
can
offer
us
empathy
and
compassion. Finally,
we
can
cultivate
a
sense

gratitude
for
the
love
we
once
had.
Even
if
the
relationship
didn’t
work
out,
we
can
appreciate
the
good
times
and
the
positive
qualities
of
our
ex-partner.
This
can
help
us
move
on
with
a
sense
of
closure
and
acceptance,
rather
than
bitterness
and
regret. Losing
love
is
never
easy,
but
with
time,
self-care,
and
gratitude,
we
can
heal
our
broken
hearts
and
emerge
stronger
and
wiser
than
before.
