HEART ACHE, the physical "feel" how?why? souls and ghosts too. POTPOURI thread

(no, my heart does not ache... mad b is happy b)

but, it makes me curious as to the feelings when you lose a loved one or a pet... you actually get that feeling, it seems physical and not psychological.. that feeling you get in the PIT of your stomach... your chest actually feels heavy... has science ever tried to explain this? has anyone heard a good theory or does anyone have one?

from afar it makes you "believe" that we humans are more than neurons and water and blood and nerve endings... it makes you believe we are not merely a magnetic energy... some would even say that it is your "soul" hurting... your "soul"!!! since the pain or feeling is in the chest area, does that mean your soul is just an orb? is that why "ghost hunters" see "orbs" when they take pictures of "haunted" places? if the soul is an orb then it would seem that all the hauntings by people like images would be false... why are some ghosts orbs? and some people like?

I don't have a theory on why you feel the way you do during a period of loss......I would imagine that your body stops releasing endorphins and such....Everything that your body does when one is feeling "good" I would assume shuts down in times of loss...just my opinion

thats interesting but i would be willing to bet that is very untrue...

maybe "heart ache"actually is merely in the brain and the brain sends signals to the heart/stomach pit... so it is purely non physical in a sense...

You also release cortisol in large doses in a period of grief or sorry plus there is a ganglia of nerve tissue in your chest area which may have some associative sensory ability.

i assume the cortisol is in direct relation to the weight loss that accompanies the grief...
