Breaking Up

“Guys always say great things about their girlfriends until they are broken up”

I remember hearing those very words on an episode of ‘Boy Meets World’ before, and as I grew up, I think I realized the how truthful those words seemed to be. It’s as if when two people break up, an monster of hatred is released where we finally have this ability to find every flaw and horrendous word to describe someone that that once loved endlessly. And if the truth really did come out once a relationship finally ceases to end, you have to wonder why so many people were together in the first place. Maybe you try to be angry at these people who once were your everything to get over them quicker. Or maybe you stop being so blinded by love to realize things you have never noticed before. But it’s sad isn’t it, that someone that we once only had great things to say about can turn into the enemy in a quick second.

It’s always going to be difficult saying goodbye to someone who even for a second thought forever was a possibility with. I think that it’s important to remember you fell in love with someone for a reason. And just because it end doesn’t mean you have to stop loving them. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out, and that’s the way it is. And for however short of time it was, they made you believe in something amazing. They made you believe in happiness, love, and allowing yourself to trust another person enough to be vulnerable enough in a place to get hurt. And in the end if it doesn’t work out, shouldn’t all we want is to see a smile of pure happiness on the other persons face? The smile that you always wished you were able to give them but wasn’t ever the one who would be able to do it? Because doesn’t just tell you after a break up, there is still someone out there that might be able to put that exact smile on your face?

How Children of Celebrities Struggle with Grief

Bobbi Kristina Brown's grief over her mother's death has become public fodder.(Getty Images)Mourning the loss of a parent in the public eye is a struggle all its own. Sadly, Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is facing it head on.

Just as fans learned of Houston's tragic death, the singer's 19-year-old daughter was rushed to the hospital after an emotional breakdown. She returned to the hospital a second time over the devastating weekend.

"My daughter Bobbi Kristina is doing much better," her father, Bobby Brown, said in a written statement. "We continue to provide love and support to Bobbi-Kristina. She is dealing with the tragedy of her mother's death and would prefer to do it outside of the public eye. I ask again that our privacy be respected."

The sudden loss of a parent is unimaginably traumatic for any child, but for those foisted into the spotlight, the burden is particularly stressful.

"They face additional burdens because all of the speculations and emerging details of the death and of the parent's life," a grief specialist at Madonna University, Dr. Kirsti Dyer, tells Shine.

In some cases, the grieving kids become the focus of curiosity, as much as the deceased.

In 2009, when Michael Jackson died of an overdose, the three young children he kept shrouded behind masks, quickly became familiar faces without their father's protection. Present at his televised memorial, Paris, just 11, at the time, alarmed both fans and dissenters by calling Jackson "the best father you can ever imagine" before bursting into tears. She reminded onlookers that his death was as personal as it was public. She was also defending her father's honor, a task many children of public figures are forced to do in the face of controversy.

"Children see both the good and the bad being written about, broadcast, tweeted and posted on Facebook for everyone to see," Dr. Dyer says. "Limiting their exposure to the media can be beneficial to their grieving process, so that every time they see a news report, read a magazine or go on line they will not be reminded of the death again, and again."

Some children have managed to escape the exposure. After Phil Hartman's tragic death at the hands of his wife, his young son and daughter were placed in custody with their mother's family in a small Midwestern town and allowed opportunity to grieve and grow up privately.

Francis Bean Cobain wasn't as lucky. Very public custody battles, leading to a restraining order against her mother, forced the music legend's daughter to grow up in the shadow of her father's death. Meanwhile, the Jackson kids have barely escaped a day without paparazzi stalking since their dad's death.

Sometimes, that attention may be comforting. Jackson's three children recently left their mark in their father's honor at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now at just 13, Paris seems to want to make a mark of her own in the industry. She's got a Twitter account, a publicist and a starring role in an upcoming movie.

Missouri teen killer sentenced to life

A central Missouri teenager who confessed to strangling, cutting and stabbing a 9-year-old girl because she wanted to know how it felt to kill someone was sentenced Feb. 8 to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

FILE - In this Dec. 8, 2009 file photo, Alyssa Bustamante, 15, listens during a brief hearing where her attorney entered not guilty pleas on her behalf to charges of armed criminal action and first-degree murder in Cole County Circuit Court in Jefferson City, Mo. Bustamante, who admitted stabbing, strangling and slitting the throat of a young neighbor girl, wrote in her journal on the night of the killing that it was an "ahmazing" and "pretty enjoyable" experience — then headed off to church with a laugh. The words written by Bustamante were read aloud in court Monday, Feb. 6, 2012, as part of a sentencing hearing to determine whether she should get life in prison or something less for the October 2009 murder of her neighbor, 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten, in a small town west of Jefferson City.

Heartbreaking: Man Choose To Marry His Dead Girlfriend

In this tragic love story from Thailand, a man decided to  go ahead with the wedding he and his girlfriend had planned, even though she sadly died in a car crash, just day before the big event.

29-year old Sarinya Kamsook and her 28-year-old boyfriend, Chadil Deffy, were to be married this year. A wedding is considered the most special event of a woman’s life and it was no different for Sarinya.

She was eagerly counting the days to the moment when she would finally say ‘I do’, along with the love of her life, but fate had other plans for the young couple. Merely days before the wedding, Sarinya was involved in a car crash, leaving her severely injured. She still could have been saved with timely medical attention. However, the doctors made her wait for 6 hours due to an overcrowded ICU instead of transferring her to another hospital. During this time, she succumbed to her injuries and passed away.

The happy couple is all smiles. Splash News

On the morning after their glam night at the 2011 American Music Awards in L.A. on Sunday, teen stars Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were snapped doing something much more ordinary -- leaving an IHOP in Encino, California, after filling up on breakfast. The couple, who held hands, had traded their Old Hollywood look featuring a dapper tux and slicked back hair for him and a sexy champagne Armani gown for her, for much more casual jeans and T-shirt ensembles. And while neither of the two brought home any AMAs from the ceremony this year -- last year Justin was named the AMA Entertainer of the Year -- both Justin, 17, and Selena, 19, were reportedly in a good mood when they visited the eatery. A source who saw the two told Hollywood Life that they arrived about 11 a.m. and spent about an hour there. "They both seemed very happy and hungry. Selena had the double blueberry pancakes and Justin had two fried eggs, two waffles, bacon, and potatoes," the source said. "They left a very generous tip that was double the amount of their bill and said happy Thanksgiving before they left!"
