I could have saved this for Valentine's Day, but that would be too sad.
Researchers have just reported that a person is of great risk of a heart attack right after their loved one dies. The day after a loss, the vulnerability is 21 times higher, and during the first week of grief the risk remains 6 times higher.
The cause, of course, is the physiological effects of shock and stress, better known as anxiety, depression and anger, the researcher point out. Those emotions usher in high blood pressure and a racing heart rate which can result in blood clotting.
But the real culprits in all this are attachment and consciousness. Whenever humans, or any animals, attach to others they gain the bright side of emotional connection, but we also get the dark side as well.
Love simply cannot be turned off so easily, and so we suffer, and our heart aches, and it sometimes breaks, forever.
