Emotions and lost limbs

Phantom limb described by Wikipedia: A phantom limb is the sensation that an amputated or missing limb (even an organ, like the appendix) is still attached to the body and is moving appropriately with other body parts. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Approximately 60 to 80% of individuals with an amputation experience phantom sensations in their amputated limb, and the majority of the sensations are painful . [ 4 ] Phantom sensations may also occur after the removal of body parts other than the limbs, e.g. after amputation of the breast, extraction of a tooth (phantom tooth pain) or removal of an eye ( phantom eye syndrome ). The missing limb often feels shorter and may feel as if it is in a distorted and painful position. Occasionally, the pain can be made worse by stress , anxiety , and weather changes. Phantom limb pain is usually intermittent. The frequency and intensity of attacks usually declines with time. Sounds pretty much like the end of relationships, friendships or children...

The choice is yours
