As I reflect on his life and the emotional burdens he carried, I can't help but wonder if there was more to it.?

What happens when ‘Broken Heart Syndrome’ is left untreated?
To Sum Up:
While it's widely recognized that prompt attention to symptoms of heart disease is crucial, what often goes unnoticed is the profound impact of extreme emotional stress on the physical heart.?
Few realize that the weight of emotional turmoil can, quite literally, cause the heart to break down.?
It's imperative not only for the individual experiencing such stress but also for their loved ones to recognize the importance of tending to emotional well-being.?
Often, those undergoing emotional turmoil may not feel inclined to seek professional help themselves. In such cases, it falls upon those around them to be vigilant, offering support and encouragement to address their emotional needs.
By fostering an environment of understanding and care, we can potentially prevent tragic outcomes and preserve the health of both the heart and the spirit.
