Couples Who Die Together from a Broken Heart
Doctors have discovered a bizarre condition that provides proof that it is actually possible to die of a broken heart. We've all seen those heartbreaking stories of couples who die together within moments of each other. Family members all said that the couple just 'couldn't live without each other.' And now there is research that proves they're right! Doctors saw a trend of patients, with no prior heart condition, who were experiencing chest pain, low blood pressure and shortness of breath—all symptoms of a heart attack. They questioned these patients and realized they all had one thing in common. “These people were coming into the emergency room with very weak heart muscles, but their arteries were wide open,” says Dr. Mimi Guarneri, a cardiologist and the author of The Heart Speaks: A Cardiologist Reveals the Secret Language of Healing. “Cardiologists realized that there was a pattern—all the patients had recently had an emotional shock, like the death of a spouse.” In other words, these grieving patients were at risk of actually dying of a broken heart! Romantic movies like the Notebook have shown this kind of love on the big screen. But here are five real-life love stories about couples who die together that movies like that are based on. These families were comforted knowing that their loved ones were reunited in Heaven!But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. . . 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
