Can A Mother Die From A Broken Heart?

Interesting Article; Women are known to be more emotional and when it comes to their children or spouse the heartbreak can be a killer. 
How Many Times Can a Heart Be Broken?  How many band-aids do you have on your heart trying to hold the pieces together?  What about a Mother? 
The worst broken heart is one of a mother. The pain is  a dagger in your heart twisting, you can't breathe, you can't think, you can't concentrate at all. The sadness consumes you and falls over you like a 10 foot wave in the ocean, but only not fresh water, but volcanic lava. It hurts so bad it takes your breathe away. It kicks you in the stomach and there you were bent over, not breathing, your heart pumping and pumping all the blood and love you have.You feel like you are dying inside and your heart is breaking into a million little pieces and even though your heart already had numerous band-aids in it holding it together, this time it's different for the damage you feel is much too severe to be patched together.  The wound is too deep. You cry out gasping through the tears, "God, please help me for I need this dagger to stop twisting",  I feel as if it's becoming a sword to put me in the ground. It's a pain no other could understand except for a Mom.
 A mother's heart is broken, the mother cries out to God for the tears will not stop, my eyes are swollen and my head pounds, I hurt all over and my strength is failing. Heal me Lord,  you know the heartache and pain  am feeling Just weeks ago there was joy for my child followed you and obeyed you, You spared his life and 8 weeks later he is choosing to make choices of the world that caused him to nearly lose his life to begin with.  Lord, I cannot walk this alone and I am so tired and need you to heal me, hold me and carry me for my strength is going quickly and the misery and hurt I feel in my heart I cannot take.
For you Lord, is my only trust and hope.  

Yes I believe the heart break of a mother is not like just any heart ache, but the worst type of all.  I know this all too well and have several scars on my heart from God putting my broken heart back together so many times.  As I type through tears the only advice I can tell any mother that is going through the same, is to cry out to Jesus, for when a child of God hurts, He feels it.  Only God can take the broken pieces of your heart and make it whole again.
