I was just Googling the word “heartbreak” in search of ideas for a headline, and among the sites offering “Heartbroken Quotes, Emo Quotes, Sad Quotes,” “Quotes for Teens on Heartbreak and Breaking Up,” and advice on “How To Mend Your Broken Heart,” there was this little mistranslated gem at iloveindia.com: “How to Sustain Heartbreak.”

Those romantic, never-ending conversations on the phone have stopped abruptly. You seem to have lost a part of you. You just can’t seem to stop thinking about what went wrong between you and your beloved. You are blank and can’t seem to think of anything else, but how to sustain this heartbreak. It has never been easy sustaining heartbreaks especially after a long romantic relation.

The tips the article goes on to offer fall under the heading “Surviving a Heartbreak,” which is kind of a disappointment. I thought for a minute I’d found a online community for people who wanted to prolong their devastating sense of loss.
