Walter took his relationship to the airwaves during those times when it was cool to surprise loved ones over the radio. He contacted the DJ, presented a bouquet of flowers, and a teddy bear. He gave the details of his girl as required. To his shock however, beloved Samantha had a Patrick in mind. She swore Patrick was the only man in her life. Walter was crushed!

“That was the first time I ever cried over a girl and I pray it is the last. I failed to eat. I lost weight. I got confused and consequently met my last performance that semester,” Walter remembers.
The worst bit for Walter was that Samantha offered no explanation whatsoever. She switched off every time he tried to reach her by phone and shortly changed numbers. The message was clear: their relationship was long over.
As for Tina, it had been rumoured for long that her boyfriend Mark was seeing someone else.
She however was not just about to let such gossip sever a three-year-old solid relationship. Tina believed Mark when he promised they were lies and cut ties with her ‘jealous’ friends. 
Tina turned a deaf ear until one day, at a baby shower venue, Mark sat across from a girl; a candle lit between them and flowers to complete the picture. After a bitter quarrel and much name calling, Tina’s long-cherished relationship was over.
She was crying, threatening to take her own life. She blamed herself sometimes. Tina stalked her man’s ‘snatcher’ and heaped all sorts of abuses on her. She could not picture life without Mark.
Like Walter and Tina, most of us can testify that we’ve had our hearts broken once or twice or even more times. Some have come to consider it a stage in their life that provides valuable lessons for future relationships, especially permanent ones.
A broken heart though, if the psychological consequences are not handled with care, can cause you to lose your mind. Here is some good counsel.

Rev. Frederick Baalwa
As a Christian, always have the will of God in mind when going through these difficult times. Be sure that God is  aware of what has happened and you never know what he might be saving you from.
Because there are many people, who years later, meet somebody else and thank God that a past relationship ended when it did.
Others see what eventually happens with this person they so much cherished and praise God they did not end up with them. I have been through it myself. The relationship might just not be God’s will.
You see, marriage was initiated by God. It is not Adam who asks God for a partner. God sees Adam lonely and decides what’s best for him. So keep in mind that God is very much interested in getting a partner for you. It is his idea. Do not worry about it. God will take care of it.
It is important to keep in mind that a broken relationship is not the end of the world. All life is not about dating and marriage. So only to think of ending your life because a relationship has broken,  is like saying without one, there is nothing to live for.
Life is about a lot more. There are actually people who have achieved a lot and impacted the world in their single life. Relationships are a noble and great thing we should desire. But it does not mean without this person life is over.
Also note that it is not wise to jump into just any relationship before you heal from the past hurt. Take your time so that you do not make the same mistake twice or suffer the same fate.
Even as you date, have it at the back of your mind that until you are married, there is nothing absolute. Some people put themselves fully and then when it doesn’t work they are overwhelmed; they feel exploited and cheated.
And have faith. If God really intended for that relationship to continue, nothing would have come between you. Do your best in any relationship, but if it does not work, believe God for someone else.

You need to handle it with self-control and caution, however shocking. It is hard to do it but try or you’ll continue on a downward slope, to your own disadvantage.
You need a full process of healing as the hurt does not immediately go away. The first aid in this case is finding someone you trust to talk about it, not necessarily to find a solution or get healing; but to get relief of the burden.
Do not be afraid to cry. The tears will cleanse you and help you express the pain. It is okay to cry.
If you can’t talk to anyone, take it to the Lord in prayer.
If you can, try and find out why the relationship ended: Ask what went wrong. And even if then it cannot be fixed,  choose to move on.
Do not blame yourself and think you are worthless. You are of great value. Just pick up the pieces and give yourself time. You will find love again.
Also consider employing the professional help of a counsellor.
