Broken Heart Syndrome Survivors -Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Broken Heart Syndrome (Takotsubo) This page is a place for folks to come together, share their stories & compare their goings on.

From symptoms to meds,we are here for one another to share our experiences so that we may better understand B.H.S. The purpose of this page is to raise awareness of the various ways Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, a.k.a., "Broken Heart Syndrome" may occur. This rare phenomenon may not only be caused by the emotional devastation of losing a loved one, it may also be brought on by the "stress chemical" (C

ortisol) the body releases when experiencing extreme chronic pain or constant anxiety. This heart condition may resolve itself in two to four months with complete rest. Speaking as a survivor, I would like to encourage others to continue having faith in their complete healing and recovery. I am here to attest, "There is life after a Broken Heart"! The term "Takotsubo" is Japanese for octopus trap, after which this disease is named. This stems from the way the heart balloons out when overly stressed which replicates the octopus bag which is used to trap the octopus.

This post came up in my memories, so, I decided to share it again because to me it is most relevant.
I love you all and pray for you daily...

Every day, wthout a doubt, I listen for the voice of my Father telling me, come on Deb... you've got this!!! We have more souls to save today and I am counting on you to help open their eyes and their ears that they may know me in a new way. That they may walk closer wth me and learn of me. I need you to let them know how very much I love my children.
We are the Joshua generation. Our Heavenly Father has awaited our arrival, physically and spirituality, that we may be used of him to help lead our people into the promised land. God's arm is not short, he knows right where we are and what we need to walk in the world, this day and time. Everything we could ever need he has already supplied. We've only to have faith and ask... Now we must learn to lean into his spirit and strengthen our faith that we may walk in the light of his love and be ready to help a brother or sister that need assistance in their understanding. GOD is the book of knowledge, but he uses us to help those that are in need of someone to turn the page for them. Never get too busy, or to self important that you can't reach out when you're touch would mean so much to someone else. Be that blessing that God intended you to be. It is most amazing to help when someone calls on you, but it is more like our Father to lend a hand wthout having to be asked. We must strive to put on the mind of Christ, daily, that we reach as many as we can wth the love of Jesus, a love that he showed when he laid his life down for his brethern.
I love you all and pray you have a day filled wth God's amazing love 💘

Hi Family,
I thank God every day for each and every one of you, we are family in the Spirit... and, I am thankful for His bringing me through my episode of Takotsubo. I know that there are days that you also wonder what and why our loved ones were taken, didn't make it through their brush wth Broken Heart Syndrome?!?!
I don't even pretend to know what God saved me for, but I know that he did!!!! So, I encourage you all to take a moment to look around you and know that you are here by design and the people that are in your life were given in your hand to witness the miracle of you!!! Let the time that you've been given mean something. Those that are no longer wth us would give anything to be able to walk one more walk, swim one more swim, or see their favorite loved one, one more time...
Invest in encouraging others as the time of you has been gifted. Take a moment to thank God for your time here. There are many that would if they could... be bold in what you've been given, share the amazing person that you are! Celebrate the love and life of our family/friends that were taken by lending your heart to those that just need a touch from someone. Be that someone!!!
I Love you all and hold you close to my heart and always in my prayers...

Hi family, although I haven't been able to address you all as often as I used to, I still think of you each and every. Believe it or not, you're always in my prayers and on my mind. I know that seems impossible, but, true none the less. Some time ago I was posting here encouragements from the Lord as it came through me, or to me, either way you want to look at it, and someone wrote they didn't realize this was a gospel page. Well, it's not so much that this is a gospel page, but, this is a page where God has worked many miracles in each and every one of our lives. And that, I celebrate. Many of us could have gone at the time that we had our Takotsubo, our broken heart syndrome attacks, but, God chose for us to stay in this realm so that we might encourage others and be encouragement to those that we don't even know. I again pick up my baton to tell you all how amazing you are to me, and more importantly, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that he brought you through whatever you experienced for this very moment in time. So, be not discouraged but encouraged by the Spirit of the Lord. And if there is ANYTHING that is going on in your life that seems overwhelming, or unanswerable, discouraging or fearful, speak to it in the name of the Lord. As for me and my house, we WILL serve the Lord!!! So, I claim for you, in the name of the living God, Goliath, go down!!! May peace and surety of heart return to you each and every one ♥
I love you all, you are invaluable to me.
I hold you each and EVERY ONE, close to my heart and forever in my prayers.
God Bless.

THIS HIT ME HARD.
Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?
Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever
hear of women going to the mountains.
But we know why — right?
Because the women were too busy
keeping life going;
they couldn’t abandon babies,
meals,
homes,
fires,
gardens,
and a thousand responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!
I was talking to a friend the other day,
saying that as modern woman
I feel like I’m never “free” enough
from my responsibilities,
never in a quiet enough space
I want with God.
Her response floored me,
“That is why God comes to women.
Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”
I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures
to see that what she said is true.
God does in deed come to women
where they are,
when they are doing their ordinary,
everyday work.
He meets them at the wells
where they draw water for their families,
in their homes,
in their kitchens,
in their gardens.
He comes to them
as they sit beside sickbeds,
as they give birth,
care for the elderly,
and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.
Even at the empty tomb,
Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection,
She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.
In these seemingly mundane
and ordinary tasks,
these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.
So if — like me — you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like. Remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us, and if we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things.
He lives. And he’s using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.
