Heartbreak and Loss

Loss of loved ones and heartache are a constant part of life. It’s often something that we think we will never get over, that it is a wound that we will bear for the rest of our life. But heartache is a reality that has been a part of mankind since the beginning. The first man died. His wife died. His children died. It will be like that until the end. But this can be an encouragement to us, when we realize we are not the only one that is going through this, and as others survive and move on, so can we.

    Heartbreak was what made me the man I am today. I dated a girl from the age of 19-23, and I thought she was the love of my life. Planned my whole world around her, and then she dumped me out of the blue. It was the worst thing that had ever happened to me; I didn’t know who I even was without her. I thought about doing terrible things to myself. But over time the pain lessened. I grew into myself. I graduated college, hit the gym, discovered new hobbies, found God and, one day out of the blue, found the woman I would end up marrying. And *she* is the one I was meant to spend my life with. I didn’t look for her, I didn’t even try - all I did was focus on myself and becoming a good, solid man and then things fell into place. All this to say: it gets better. I promise you. It. Gets. Better. You just have to persevere, as all humans have done before you.

    Thanks man, I don't mean to spill my own hard ships or take away from what you went through, but I find myself in a similar situation now. I dated a girl from age 18-21. She was a nice girl, but wasn't the type I wanted to settle down with and marry. I was young and immature and ungrateful for who I had. We broke things off after dealing with me getting cold feet countless times, and I've been alone since. It's been about a year and a half, I'm 23 now. I try like people say and work on myself, I'm in an apprenticeship in a trade now. It doesn't pay the most but it's liveable. I don't really have dreams of a career or anything grand like that, and I find it hard to push myself. I just want a simple, blue collar life, and peace, but I often hear that such a thing is a turn off and I'll never be good enough to marry if that's what I "settle" for in life. Do you have any advice? How long were you single for? Do you have any critiques of what I'm doing?

    @@matthewjameson8809 Hey buddy, sorry it took a bit to respond. I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling but I want to reassure you that a quiet, peaceful life is more than okay. I’m 28, so a little bit older than you, and it took me a while to realize I wanted a life like that as well. And that’s more than okay - there are still good women out there who would love nothing more than to have a reliable man and live out a peaceful, stable life. It’s definitely possible to achieve that, and a life like that is an honorable thing. I don’t have any critiques really, except to suggest attending Church in some way. You may not be religious, and that’s fine; I wasn’t until I was around 26ish and then something switched in me. And it was through finding God that I found my now wife, and I think they’re definitely related. Sorry if this isn’t too helpful, and I’ll just end by encouraging you to keep at it. You seem like a good, honest man and that is so rare these days. You’ll make it, buddy. I’m here rooting for you

    Heartbreak was the best thing that could have happened to me. At the beginning it hurts and you try to persuade the person somehow to continue. Until time heals your wounds and you start to focus on yourself. For me the process took a long time but in the end I have never felt better than I do now because of the development I have taken through it.

    Yes! My boyfriend left me for another woman, I was 25 (30 now and still single). It was absolute agony, after a 3 year relationship. I fought like heck to get him back. Compared myself to the new girl 24/7. But, I wouldn’t change it. I’ve learned never to trust, to focus on yourself and your mental health, et cetera. Definitely 100% learn to be alone and take care of yourself only. I won’t ever let someone affect me like that ever again. Now I absolutely love being alone and can hardly believe it. Learn to love yourself and you don’t “need” that other person you thought you did. EDIT* Of course you can meet someone new and start a life with them, I didn’t mean “be alone” forever. Just be okay with it, if it happens. And I’ll always keep a wall up no matter what, just in case.

    This is so true for me. I have to say, I've learned a lot through my platonic relationships. I found that I've never been put in the position to look for platonic love and I never had a tight grip on it. Today, I have a community of people who love me just as much as I love them and who have been around me for decades. I don't remember when I started to love them or even when these relationships began. It seems like they've always been there. Of course, all relationships take nourishment but even that felt effortless for the most part. I think if people approach romantic relationships in a similar fashion it may not seem so tough. The chasing of anything makes it feel like it's so far away and unattainable.

    For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died for your sins and rose from the dead. If you repent from evil ways, believe that Jesus has paid the fine for your sins on the cross and confess Him as your Lord, you will be saved. You see, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, that's why Jesus Christ, fullness of Godhead bodily, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the prophecies and law, shed His Blood at the cross just so you could be forgiven, reconciled back to the Father, receive God's love, be made a new creation, whole, sanctified. It's not about religion and what good works you can do to earn salvation, it's only by grace through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ. Read God's Word, preferably start with Gospel of John, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you, give you wisdom and revelation that way you're born again and see your life changed by the Spirit of the Most High. Much love and God bless you!

    About a year ago, my fiancé, and I had fallen on hard times. I'd known her since High school and we had been dating for 4 years. I moved out and tried to move on, but despite our grievances, our connection was still strong. In June my father passed away suddenly and I didn't handle it well. His death and my searching for a new place lead to me taking a 2nd job and working every day. My ex and I continued talking, sporadically, and things seemed like they could be mending. One evening in late September she had invited me back over to spend some time together, but I found myself too tired to get out of the house. She passed away early the next morning. I have become intimately familiar with loss and heartbreak and guilt and regret. If you've lost someone or some connection you've had with someone, I can certainly relate to the pains, and sorrows you feel. And I've heard all the advice you're likely to hear. But no matter your loss, the most important thing is that you keep moving. I won't say "move on". Eventually you must, and one day you will, but that's something that evolves over time. Time does heal and the pain isn't infinite, but if someone had told me to just move on back in October, I'd probably need to be physically restrained. For most people, moving on is a process. But for now, just keep moving. Get up. Get out of bed. Keep working. Work harder. Start working out. Try new things. Do not fall into the traps of depression and self pity. It's okay to be sad and sullen. Especially with death, give yourself some room to mourn. But don't dwell there too long. Misery will sit with you forever if you let it. But if you keep moving, one day you'll find that you have moved on, and you'll find that you're in a new place, and you'll find new opportunities there. I was breaking down into a mess every day in October and November. These days, maybe once a week, something strikes me and I can't hold back the tears. It still hurts, but it doesn't hurt all the time now. That's progress. And if you can progress, you can heal. Funny I found this video today. I was feeling kinda down, because today is her birthday, so she's been on my mind. Thanks for the talk Duane.

    Are you thinking about 'white lies', that most of us have said now and then, not wanting to hurt someone else, like 'your're looking good for your age', or strait forward lies like 'I'm not married' (is married for 10 years) If meeting only dishonest persons, one might ask oneself 'why do I attract dishonest persons?', and/or one maybe look in the wrong places/enviroments.

    Man, I’m 42 and all my life has been is heartbreak and loss. My first funeral was when I was 5 (in 1985). It was my grandpa (Dad’s side) and I remember being just tall enough to see him in his coffin wearing his medals and ribbons on his WWII Class A’s. That was the first time I remember contemplating what it meant to be “dead”. I also remember my dad as he dealt with the loss. My dad, nicknamed “Pie”, was always a stoic man. He didn’t say much until he thought deeply about it. He was measured and was also a walking encyclopedia 😂. But, I remember him as he dealt with grief and loss. He and his father weren’t close, the war will do that to a person. I recall feeling his grief (I’m kind of what they call an “empath”…..so is my mom). By the time I was 17 I had been to over a dozen funerals. My family went through a bad time filled with deadly accidents, suicides, and loss of loved ones through health issues. At the same time I even had close friends that passed away. I lost friends that were my age at the time. It’s a very difficult thing to attend the funeral of peers when you are still a kid. It hits harder in its own way. I got to the point where I refuse to attend funerals anymore. Not out of anything negative…..it’s just that I can’t handle it anymore. The departed just don’t look real. Their souls aren’t there. It’s just feels off on top of the grief that not only I have felt at those times……but also feeling the grief all around me. It’s rough. The hardest one that hit me ever was in 2015. I lost my dad. Pie was my greatest friend, my biggest fan, my most cherished inspiration, my anchor to this plane of existence and most importantly he was my rudder that always steered via trust and wisdom. I was 35. I’m still not over it. There are lots of times where something happens in my life and my reaction will be to call my dad to tell him. One of my Sons does something great? Call dad. I got a new truck? Call dad. I heard a great joke? Call dad. You get the picture. It’s torture. The night before he passed he was coming down with a head cold and was about to go to bed, we were talking on the phone. He was telling me “Yeah, I’m getting sick Jim….I need to go to bed.” to which I replied “Ok man, I’ll chat with you later….get some rest and feel better….I love you” to which he replied in a way that looking back makes me feel like he knew it was his end. He emphasized “I love YOU”. He had never said it that way before ever. It was always said in a way that intended to talk again. When I found out he passed (his neighbor friend found him, he passed in his sleep and she called me after she called the coroner) I collapsed. My brain just froze into overload. This is hard even reliving this in my mind now. I then got back up and walked to the stairs and just sobbed and fell apart. My wife tried consoling me to no avail. I was undone. He was my hero. He always will be. The whole world has gone even more crazy since then and a part of me feels as though it’s in part because he (and folks like him) left this realm. Love, patience, acceptance, compassion, true wisdom left this Earth when he left. The world is worse for it. I still have my mom, and we get along but my mom has always had baggage. She cheated and left my dad when I was 17. I’m almost thankful for her leaving because she took her needless drama with her. I got 4 years (before I left for the Army) to be with Pie without any BS. I learned so much from him. I feel that we bonded more in those 4 years than we ever did before. My only good takeaway from him passing is he isn’t dealing with his bad back, his high blood pressure, and his emphysema anymore. He’s free from the burden of pain. For that I’m thankful. I still miss him. As far as love goes, I agree. Don’t look for it, it WILL find you. My dad always told me “Jim, be friends with them all” (talking about women). I became friends with a great girl back in 1996 and through that friendship we became best friends. Our lives took differing paths as time slowly churned on, but, eventually everything aligned with no effort and we started dating based on the foundation of our friendship and the fact that a not so secret love started forming for each other. We’ve been married and going strong since 2004. We took the review mirror and ripped it off, threw it out the window. We just keep racing into the future together, always. Thick as thieves, stronger than all. My advice to young folks would be mixed with some of Pie’s advice. Be friends with them all, build a friendship that can last. Base a true love on heart because heart (and guts) are what matters the most in trying times. Intertwine with someone that can lean on you as you lean on them. Don’t be afraid to be wrong, and learn from mistakes. Learn together, grow together, keep your eyes on the prize…..and finally do NOT, whatever you do do, let the world in all of it’s fading glory poison the well in your hearts. This life is yours, it doesn’t belong to the latest cultural fad. Be a rock, be an anchor…..be steadfast. When you are old and gray and fading from this life you will do so with a smile. Peace.

    Oh I feel you bro. 25-30 is possibly the worst time of your life (if you live in the beginning of the 21st century), so brace for it and consider this a character-building experience. Most of your grandparents will die in this age range. Your parents will start getting their first illnesses and start visibly aging. Everyone expects you to perform better than you're doing. Partying is no longer as fun as it was, and relationships become a much more serious thing. It does get better after your 30's, but brace for impact now. Again, hang in there - by the time you're 35, you'll have left all the bad stuff behind.

    This video really resonates with me. Got broken up with by a woman I could've swore was it. Just like you said, I found ways to make sure she checked every box. Not only that, but I ignored red flags along the way too. When she left, it shattered every illusion I've ever had about love. Rather than lashing out I looked inward. I came to terms with what really went on, who she really was, how I contributed to things going sideways, and the faulty lenses I looked at relationships through. I worked on myself, took up new hobbies and interests, got a better job, and came up with a more realistic way of looking at the world. I haven't found my partner yet, but I've never felt like more of a man.

Women move on quicker for obvious reasons. guys have to find purposes. Find your purpose and control your mind. Its tough af but you'll look back and be proud of what you've learned. Be happy that this has happened and you learn how to deal with it. it could be worse when you have a wife & kids and you don't know how to deal with the emotional stress. This is better.

I couldn’t eat and lost 20 pounds. Mind you, I started at 120. I fought like heck to get him back. Compared myself to the new girl 24/7. But, I wouldn’t change it. I’ve learned never to trust, to focus on yourself and your mental health, et cetera. Definitely 100% learn to be alone and take care of yourself only. I won’t ever let someone affect me like that ever again. Now I absolutely love being alone and can hardly believe it. Learn to love yourself and you don’t “need” that other person you thought you did.

Would understood better if someone being 40, going through 3 long term relations that end with a bad heart break, said 'okay, I'm done here'. Having in mind at 20-25 most people are still in development towards the 'grown up version' of themselves. 30 years is still very young, looking back on it later in life. Hey, many people can, and do, have a fine life as single, having good friends and hobbies and so on.

The loss of loved ones is a different story. My father died 7 years ago, I still miss him every day. I just have to accept the fact that this is just the way nature goes, - we all have to leave some day. It hurts bad, but you have to go another day, another week, another month ... Some day you can look back with loving thoughts and the pain will be manageable. Thank you for the video!

    The only thing I have found from rushing into relationships looking for love is that falling for the first person who appears to love you and want to be with you can sometimes be because the other person has so many issues and red flags. Met a woman after my Mom had passed and she treated me well, but she would casually mention shooting her ex-husband and harming people who disagreed with her. No amount of wanting love could make her worth settling down with.

    I love this, every bit of it. I've been recovering from a toxic relationship and motorcycle accident from 2 years ago. I loved her to death, but she was a prime example of someone who just didn't love herself and placed her self worth & validation onto relationship partners. Low self esteem, compared herself to others constantly (even me), physical abuse at one point, and much more. This eventually eroded my own self esteem and I was convinced I was the problem and that everything that happened was my fault. Been going to therapy since January, traveling more to places I've put off, picking up new hobbies, rediscovering my old hobbies, finding new friends who challenge me and don't fuel bad behaviors I picked up, and life has been improving for me since. It can be hard still on some days, but I've learned to recognize those negative thoughts and acknowledge them. I'm staying single to focus on myself again and finding that self love so I can be the best man for the next one.

    I'm 62. When I was 57, love happened. I had never in my imagination described or pictured this fine woman... but here she was. She was 11 years younger. Almost two years ago now, I lost here. We were in a motorcycle accident where her leg was severely injured. On the sixth week of her recovery, she succumbed to a blood clot. It was devastating. We had plans to be married and had a date picked out. Without disagreeing with anything you've said, I will confirm that time does make a difference... but it does not heal. It hardens, like a scar. Loss is like the crushing waves of a storm, they eventually subside. The waves become smaller and farther apart. You can breathe, exist, think and do again. But there will always be another wave. Thank you for what you do here.

She is in fact the love of my life. So seeing you upload this today really seemed right. Thanks for all of your videos I watch them all the time and it has really been helpful in trying to better myself regardless of what I’m going through. I just turned 28 in December. I am in a bad place and don’t see myself getting out of it tomorrow but I’m starting to see myself get out of it one day. I’m an alcoholic who’s been trying to get sober since I was 15. I’m 5 days no drinking now and it’s such an achievement to do it without a rehab (I’ve been 8 times) I’m doing it because I genuinely want to get sober for the first time. I’m not doing it for my mother or my now ex. I’m doing it for me. Anyway I’m ranting now. Thanks a lot.
