Wish they would come up with a way to avoid that hurt !
It’s really an interesting article. It says about 10% of people never get over that significant loss. Your heart really can break. 😦
very interesting article! poor heart!

interesting.. even though didn’t need science to confirm it..

Now scientists have to go and prove it!

It IS funny that they would document something so obvious, but it was also an interesting article.
Wow, interesting article.
Thank you very much for sharing
