A broken heart never heals. It learns to beat a little slower, a little softer, and a little less in perfect time. There is a lot of hurt that doesn't rise to the level of a broken heart. I know of three children less than nine years old who lost both of their parents last week. Two mothers' hearts are broken and the children, thank God, are part of a large family and will be loved and cared for. Their hurt will be felt for years to come. The two mothers' will die with a heart that never healed.
14 year old experience puppy love and can feel very hurt when that is over. It's real. It's not a broken heart. I do believe that if a 14 year old loses an identical twin sibling, they may be broken. Twins have extremely close bonds.
