Broken heart syndrome has to be the most beautiful and horrific sickness I think I’ve ever heard. The fact that you can love someone so much your heart stops is unreal.
It seems very real to me.
I couldn't imagine being the English guy in the first story. I absolutely would not survive that. They would bury us together.
I can feel a minor form of that right now with my husband being away for a I don’t know how long. It’s killing me.
@@arthurchadwell9267Yeah… me either and my husband sleep walks. 😢
Yea
It's just happened between my aunt and uncle they were together over 60 years and died 8 weeks apart my uncle couldn't live without his Bella x
wow, that first one has to be one of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever heard. Can't help but feel bad for this guy and his poor wife who lost her life.
Me too. I had to tell my fiance and his jaw was on the floor too
I thought it was hilarious!
It looks weird. Come on, he was not waked up by her screaming, he cannot feel he strangles a woman, who at least smells like his wife? This somnambulism looks weird. And why did he get up from sleeping?
@@tahoehikerthen you are sick and i genuinnly hope you get help
@tahoehiker I'm confused, what part was hilarious?
My mum was hospitalized due to Broken Heart Syndrome after a particularly painful phone call with my dad after they separated. She said she was surrounded by intrigued doctors and nurses because the syndrome is so rare.
That'll surely keep the stress down 😅
My case is in a medical journal because I have experienced this twice.
@@maisiegomer8224 right? Smh 🤦🏼♀️ they’d cause more stress and anxiety.
I’d tell them all to please quit starring at me and leave my room!
Man, humans and their bodies are so fascinating! The fact that losing a loved one can literally make your heart just refuse to work because of grief alone is insane to me. Kinda gives me hope remembering that humans aren't only capable of all-consuming hate, but of all-consuming love too.
That’s a great way to put that
It's the flood of hormones released by your brain....the hormones were triggered by extreme grief....these stress hormones paralyze the heart.
@@the2006mvp yeah, that was explained in the video :) every emotion is pretty much a flood of hormones. I know that all to well from living with chemical imbalances in my brain for most of my life. That doesn't change how you feel emotions though, or how they affect you.
Beautifully put
hate don't happen by accident. people can be demented for health reasons. stress poor community and shitty pathological societies that reward evil are also problematic.
My uncle passed in Dec of cancer. When my aunt came home for the first time from planning his funeral, she died in the driveway. She always said she never wanted to live without him. She made it less than 8 hours ❤
Wow. I've heard many stories of people dying of heartbreak within a year of their life-long spouse passing away. It happened to my grandmother, although not that fast. She was 10 years younger than my grandfather, and yet after he died at age 85, she died within the year as well despite being much younger. They'd been together their whole lives.
My grandmother died in late november of 2022, a week later, my grandfather died as well. True love is unbeatable
True love. Rip to your aunt and uncle.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy for their unity as they ventured into the next life after leaving this realm!
Thank you all! It was some comfort knowing that they were together tho their presence will be missed terribly
That second story got me. My father died of broken heart syndrome the day after my mum passed away. Sadly, my dad had his episode in the night so none of us knew it was happening and we just found him early the next morning. After 52 years together, I think he just didn’t want to be here without her.
⭐💙⭐
I'm so sorry..
My grandmother passed away within a month of her husband dying, they got married when they were both young and had been married for over 60 years and both passed away at the age of 82
I don't think it's because of a "broken heart". Most people are very old and losing a loved one is very traumatic.
@black9897 that's not true look at the studies I knew of someone in their 30s this happening to them so no. Maybe the majority but not all the time.
'When the judge said ''this was a mistake and you're going to live with grief and guilt for the rest of your life'' made me speechless. I also felt relief after hearing that the mom lived on the 2nd story. I almost cried after hearing both. Thank you, John.
I did cry lol
lets marry, im 22
Mr Ballen, I am a Canadian and there is a very long mystery murder sometimes refered to "The Blind River rest stop murders" from Ontario & two murders occured. It was once aired on Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. The only survivor who lost his wife has now died but if you told there murder mystery maybe someone will come forward that knows who the killer is. Thanks MrBallen, love your stories
Usually your stories don’t affect me emotionally, but hearing that the last line of “It’s my duty to be here for them” really pulled at my heart strings. I hope she never doubts the fact that shes a great mom.
I’m the same way! That last story has me bawling, I’m glad she pulled threw❤️
Same here
😢 same. A mother's love for her children never stops. ❤
@@bmx4ever20 through*😊
@@bmx4ever20through*
I love the judge in the first story. He chose to pardon him because regret and guilt is enough of a punishment. As for the second one i can only feel the stress of the kids seeing their dad pass away and mom in such a critical condition. Imagine if doctor never read that article. I had only heard of broken heart syndrome but not enough.
I agree with the judge too. Prison is for “reforming” criminals, and teaching them the errors in their ways…. He didn’t need to be “Reformed”. It was simply a terrible accident, that he will punish himself with for the rest of his life. I’ve also heard of “Broken heart syndrome”, and knew it could kill (There are many documented cases of spouses dying within hours, or days of each other), but I had no clue it had actually been medically diagnosed. Interesting!
She had a blood circulation issue and smoked. She just wasn't use to having a high heart rate or moving a lot so anything could have really set this in motion. She was prone to blood clots
I thought the judge let him go because he broke no law. There is no law against killing someone involuntarily. So the judge had no choice.
@@davidmeadows5627what about involuntary manslaughter 🤔
@@davidmeadows5627 Of course there is a law for that. Its literally called involuntary manslaughter
My uncle had a case of broken heart syndrome last year he lost his brother suddenly! Glad he had his family around him and they got him into the hospital definitely saved his life
Second story hit me hard, I just lost my father 2 weeks ago and I worried my mom would get stressed out. That's why we show more affection and love than before to keep her calm and recover
Man I wasn't ready for the stories. Gonna buy some flowers for my wife after work today and let her know how lucky I am to have her.
👍🏻
My wife and I are on the outs right now. After this. I think I should too brother.
Cherish her while you can. After 47 years I lost mine.
God bless the both of ya
@murdock8068 hey man the wife and i have had some rough moments lately too so i get what ya mean.
Sometimes we just gotta slow down and remember to treat each other as humans first, without the labels. Provide patiences and compassion for one another and look through all the other stuff. I know its hard but thats what we had to do.
Mr. Ballen, as a loner who struggles with depression and anxiety and literally no friends, your stories help me tremendously. You keep my mind engaged, on edge and I don’t feel alone! I’m lost in your story telling. Thank you!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! If you feel like you are, you need to understand that it's by CHOICE, cuz there are A LOT OF PEOPLE just like you! If you look for them, they'll be there for you!! I AM!
I'm here too! Always alone but only sometimes lonely.
@@AkiraCatt24 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OP, you are NOT alone. There are people out there that care. I do! :)
Bkess your heart ♥ I'm so sorry you feel that your alone and I would be there for you if possible as I know what it's like to feel that way just know I'm thinking about you ❤❤
@@kittymamayyz I hope you both realize it’s not that easy for a lot of people. No shit there are people out there. That’s partially the problem. Most people most of us encounter are good for nothing. That’s why most true introverts would rather say nothing to anybody. If it were that easy these comments wouldn’t be necessary; if those “people that are out there” make the problem go away then obviously there’d be no need to even say that the person is a loner. You don’t know what is causing people to not even want to talk to anybody so maybe stop making it sound like the solution is so easy and simple to discover. This spans across many people and it is a very nuanced subject so either do more research or just shut the hell up. I know that’s rude but seriously. I don’t speak on things I have no perspective of. Maybe you should do the same 😶
OMG, I was literally in tears listening to the second story. I'm embarrassed. Such a sad story, and Ballen delivered it to perfection.
How many of you clicked on this video so fast to check if Mr. Ballen actually shaved his head - then stayed for the story?
I love this channel, Mr. Ballen is an excellent storyteller. I wish you gave us more stories that don't end in heartbreak, surprise endings like a missing person that disappeared and was found under extremely mysterious circumstances, or more stories of "monsters".
My gf used to sleepwalk....once,she got up late at night, opened the door and went outside.I had to immediately run behind her to get her back because we both were COMPLETELY naked.......thank God nobody saw us....
I did. I love
Mr B and I saw that thumbnail I was like Oh No. He’s cut his hair and had no cap. I wonder if he’ll tell us why he did that. These two stories really touched my heart. Well done again John😺🐈⬛🍀🐈⬛
I think he April Fooled us all 😂
Yes lol
@@marievemacgregor4624 Indeed!
I can relate to the second story. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness 12 years ago. I needed a liver and kidney transplants. I got them both 3 years later. To the day a year later I had my first heart attack. To the day two years later I had my second heart attack. I know what's it's like laying in a hospital wait to die. But by the grace of God I am here alive.
I'm glad you're here with us friend! Cheers!
keep kicking, tents don't pitch themselves.
Nice job for staying strong!❤
God bless you
The powers of the mind can also create possibilities for the seemingly impossible! “Mind over matter” might be a saying, but there’s truth to it, & the brain has yet to be completely studied, especially in correlation with the body! With so many variables, it seems like miracles can happen, & maybe someday we’ll have the medical science to figure out exactly how & why everything works the way it does. And then we can have those little scanners like on Star Trek & cure everything! We’ll even be able to have our own little keychain ones!LOL
omg, that first story. speechless. you wouldn't want to wish that on your worst enemy
and good thing, the second story saved it all
I don’t believe a word from the husband in story #1.
It’s funny that he changed the title three times now lol
But some might wish it on their wife. (I'm not convinced.)
@@moperson1same
I love to see our Vets make it outside of the battlefield. Especially special forces like Mr Ballen. My whole family is retired Navy/Marines and it so unfortunate to see MOST of them unable to remix into society and be successful. When Mr Ballen recommends mental health advice I would pay attention. It isn't easy..... Not to mention he is the BEST storyteller of all time!
Why can they not mix back into society??
These were both so heartbreaking. I could feel your empathy/sympathy when you were telling these stories. Thank you for sharing them with the world. ❤
I’ve heard of Broken Heart Syndrome before but I don’t think I’ve heard of how bad it really was. Stress can apparently do a lot of damage, not just mentally but physically.
Same here. Never knew how it could be this fatal.
Yeah, stress is a hell of a thing. That's why drs always say "stress is a killer." They don't mean it figuratively.
Stress is a silent killer , I’m only 23 but the massive mental and physical change I’ve felt after learning to better control my stress is amazing. Stress is the gateway to many other diseases
@@Likelyfairy I'm 21 and for me stress had ruined my sleep. I've started taking it seriously and I occasionally meditate and pray alot.
I had it happen to me when I was 24 and everyone was confused since I was very healthy. The doctors were able to get me to tell them a bit of what I was going thru (that no one else knew) and that’s when they knew what was going on with me.
My cousin died in 2019, he will forever be 27 years old, & I’ll never forget my grandma suffered the broken heart syndrome heart attack at his funeral. My cousins ex girlfriend was there who happened to be an EMT & saved her life.
Wow . Mr. Ballen usually leaves me mystified and in wonder.. but this last story brought me to tears. This is something all of us know. How powerful love truly is.
I've survived things that people say I'm lying about. I didn't think someone could bring a tear to my eye but you got me with that one.
When I was younger an elderly couple who were neighbours of mine died within weeks of each other. Last year my Auntie and Uncle died within three months of each other. Both of these couples had been together for around fifty years and I have always believed that the surviving spouse died of a broken heart. This has confirmed it for me, so incredibly sad but almost beautiful at the same time.
The same kind of intent to survive you experience when being attacked by a predator is the same kind of intent to live when you love someone so much. One is an explosive moment of intent and the other is like a tree reaching towards the sun.
I am sorry for yr loss. I understand I lost my husband recently after almost 38 yrs. I have days I dont want to go on. He is my 1st love. He protected me. My family is a narcissistic brother. I care for my 93 yr old mom. Idk what will happen to me when she passes.
@@lisaperry5999he protected you..?? Why not the other way around like you should have protected him...
My grandparents died within a week of each other. They had been married 55 years.
This was my Dad and Mom😢❤❤❤
Broken heart syndrome can honestly be one of the saddest things. My mom was recovering from vascular surgery and an elderly woman down the hall quite literally could not stop wailing. They would sedate her and it would only quiet the crying a bit. She was alone. The only comfort she had was from staff and it was utterly exhausting them- but it was similar methodology: WE are here for you. WE aren’t going anywhere, WE will take care of you, etc etc. I don’t know what the final outcome was, but the effort of the staff was utterly commendable. One of the nurses explained it happens way more often than you think, and all we can do is intervention therapy to try to ease them. To this day one of the saddest conditions I’ve ever heard.
Yes, very tragic ... I had a co worker who's mother passed suddenly in her early 50s - at the funeral my co-worker's grandmother (the mother of deceased) was so distraught that she passed away while holding on to the arm of my co-worker during the funeral service at the church.
:( my wife is a nurse and I can only fathom the potential emotional turmoil of any given day
My gf used to sleepwalk....once,she got up late at night, opened the door and went outside.I had to immediately run behind her to get her back because we both were COMPLETELY naked.......thank God nobody saw us....
@@Logicalsane😂
Mr Ballen is a kick ass hard worker. Thing with him is that he doesn’t know how to give up and face of adversity. If an obstacle presents itself he is flexible.
When my great grandmother passed away from cancer in 1990 my great grandfather died about 4 hours later from the same condition. Sad but also beautiful.
Props to that judge, he showed compassion. What a stand up dude. Or dudette.
Probably dude. All women secretly hate men.
Umm...do u means props?
@@user-oe1hy4ip7q
did he originally write poops 😂
@@antmann993it seems like it 😂😂😂
And that is how all judges should be, not only following laws and proofs
My great grandfather passed away from cancer at 98 years old.. My great grandmother despite being 96 years old, the doctor said she was in better shape than most 65 year olds with her diet, excercise routines, among other vitamins she took. She laid over him at the hospital to say goodbye one last time after he passed away and her heart arrested. Thats the first time I heard the term "Broken Heart Syndrome".. I was only 10 years old at the time and at almost 36 years old now I still can't forget the image of him laying there with mamaws head on his chest. The most bittersweet moment of our lives. They were married since they were 13 and 15 years old. I cannot imagine what that would be like.❤
couples like that are never complete as individuals, they can't function on their own.. i don't know if that's a good thing or not, but it is interesting
@@jwst8hahah what a ignorant statement. Must be an American
Thank you for your amazing story.
liar !
@@samkay-od5jc Jeez ,was that even necessary?
Lauren's story brought tears to my eyes. My Grandmother died two months after my Grandfather. Her heart broke, losing the love of her life after 65 years of being together.
for some reason i got it when you showed the picture of her heart.... wow.... one mind, one soul one heart. true love.
The second story reminds me of my aunt and uncle. A few years ago, my uncle passed after a long battle with cancer. Luckily, my aunt was with him, but still, she was full of anguish, as they'd been married for over 40 years. She left the hospital that morning, made it home to confirm his funeral arrangements, hung up the phone and actually had a heart attack right there. We think it was purely from all the stress and, of course, heart ache. They absolutely adored each other in life and together, they left this world, on the exact same day. That's rare.
Today, our whole family feels it was meant to be. But I often think about them. They loved, lived & passed... together. ❤

@@Logicalsane - Lmbo! Yes, thank goodness that no one was around for that one!
The moment you said she felt pressure on her heart , I knew it was from a broken heart . I’ve heard of it many times & believe it 100% because when I’m really hurting emotionally I can 100% feel it in my heart
My gf used to sleepwalk....once,she got up late at night, opened the door and went outside.I had to immediately run behind her to get her back because we both were COMPLETELY naked.......thank God nobody saw us....
Same, but when he couldn't find any answer I knew thats what it had to be. It's touching to think that dying of a broken heart actually has a condition behind it.
@Logicalsane Good for you? This relates to the comment how?
@@LogicalsaneMy friend, being seen naked is embarrassing, but ultimately no big deal. Be glad it wasn't something a LOT worse... If she is alive and well, thank God.
Be well, brother.
Mr.Ballen, I'm so very happy for your success! With all of these gigantic platforms snatching you up, wanting to offer YOUR podcasts! You deserve this. You are so down to earth, so relatable. I myself, personally, don't get as much from the podcasts... Only cuz you're just so dang awesome to WATCH telling the story! Thanx for all your hard work :)
I’m not crying, you are.
Seriously though, I advertise Mr. Ballen to EVERYONE. I live in Texas, and driving up to Austin one day, I actually saw him on a billboard. So cool to see. I’ve been watching him since he began. So nice to see him grow. Medical Mysteries has to be one of my favorite podcasts ever. I work in the ems field, so I’m also learning too. He’s just the best. If someone tells you they don’t like Mr. Ballen, that is a serious red flag and you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.
Happy Easter, everyone.
Happy Easter to you as well. Hope you have a nice one
Happy Easter! Bless you and your family🐣✝️
Happy Easter ❤
Happy Easter!
Both stories are so very sad. The poor man in the first video was blessed with a judge who knew he would be tortured by what happened, and prison was not required. Thank God that heart doctor had read that article and was able to allow her children to save their mother. I love the way Mr. Ballen tells his stories.
My gf used to sleepwalk....once,she got up late at night, opened the door and went outside.I had to immediately run behind her to get her back because we both were COMPLETELY naked.......thank God nobody saw us....
@@Logicalsane😳Are you sure no one saw? Bwahh haha👀 But really, are you really sure? Just kidding or am I🤫
@@neneizzy9277 no one saw us... Even if someone had seen us,it still wouldn't have been that big of a deal....
@Logicalsane ok, she grateful to have you I was an avid sleepwalker don't know how but as I got older it stopped thank Jehovah🙏🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾❣️
If I were that guy, I would probably want to go to prison or a mental health lock-up partly due to the guilt but mostly because I wouldn't trust myself not to do it again. I would fear that I might hurt/kill someone else in my sleep in the future.
Many will try & compare themselves to you, but there is no comparison to you Mr. Ballen.
You are an honest, no-drama story teller and I respect that ❤
Your stories and storytelling are so amazing, often heartbreaking. One thing I'm realizing, part of what is so enthralling is the way you tell it. As good as your voice is for storytelling, video is even better, watching you and your emotions, gestures, it all goes into the mix. Do more video!
Why do the saddest stories always start out with the happiest beginnings! 😢
Without happiness you couldn’t appreciate the sadness
Sadly that’s very common in life… starts like a fairytale and end up as a nightmare😢
Oof😢
My beloved brother who was a soul mate of a best friend always used to say things like that, like "without darkness you could never appreciate the truest forms of happiness and light" he was actually telling me these things about a week before he unexpectedly passed right in front of me, he was 38, the heart ache was so severe, my chest hurt in that first year and i developed an irregular heartbeat. 2 and a half years later and im still trying to recover from the paralyzing depression and get my life back together, i lost everything including a huge piece of my identity when i lost him, he was my best friend and we had a very unique and other-worldly connection. Ill never stop loving him, missing him, and healing my broken heart. Rest in Peace brother ✌️ Aaron George Zini 4-13-83/8-6-21, i love you, Chino. ❤💔❤️
It's the difference between sad and tragic
Emotions play such a strong role in how humans and the world works... im glad the medical doctor took the approach he did to help her.
Go mr ballen I love watching your videos it reminds me that we're never safe in this world is why it's important to not just hang out with anyone but to also learn how to protect ourselves and learn how to fight and don't ever trust no one
That last story was so sad and beautiful at the same time. Amazing!
The 2nd story, that happened to my Aunt and Uncle after she passed from cancer, he followed her within a week, had absolutely no health problems prior, just a Broken Heart.
I knew the second one was broken heart syndrome because my mom went through the same thing. We were there with her everyday. We brought the grandkids and asked her siblings to come visit her. She was so happy and felt so loved she recovered quickly.
My HEA and I went through a very real health scare in December 2021. It was a true wakeup call for us both, but especially for him. He'd never imagined he could lose me so quickly, so young. I was diagnosed with "necrotizing aspiration pneumonia", which they told me was "practically unsurvivable". Obviously I survived. But now he gets a bit paranoid whenever I sneeze, cough, or God forbid get a little cold. 💜 I know it is because he loves me, and while somewhat annoying he doesn't take it too far. The wakeup call my illness gave him is that he now realizes just how important I am to him. He knew he loved me for over 30 years. He just kind of took it for granted after so long. Now neither of us take such things for granted. We have learned to show our love for one another through both actions and words, multiple times every single day. So I really relate with the 1st story.
I haven’t felt like crying like this in a long time and I’m walking to my college class right now and I look like I just gotten the worst news of my life 🥺 my heart goes out to those families
I’ve been rocking with Mr. Ballen since day 1 & these notifications still get me hype !!
Appreciate you!!!
@@MrBallen love bro 🤞🏾
YESIRRR
Same, I appreciate a good story. Since I was a kid reading short stories & on to a college class I took that dissected short stories into theme, character development, tone, setting & couple other things I can’t remember right now.
Anyway, any good story gets me, but the ones that can get you invested in minutes (short stories) are the ones I appreciate the most.
Ballen does okay with his stories. They’re true stories, so he’s limited in what he can say & *how much* he can spice shit up.
Another banal NPC comment.
My son was in life support for two weeks when he was 6 months old and they sent him to ruby memorial hospital!! Literally the best hospital i have ever been too!! They saved my little boy and i will forever be grateful to all the nurses and doctors that took care of him in those two weeks!!!
Loma Linda hospital saved my son, when he had a baby stroke at 14 days old....
Ruby Memorial saved my Dad back in 2017. He had a massive heart attack, and if not for my Mom and the Doctors and nurses at Ruby, he wouldn't be here.
I can not express how much I missed your story telling!! Thank you for this new medical mysteries series!! I had to take a break from your channel because the morbidity was messing with my mental health. I'd try to find any podcast without death but finished every one eventually. This new series makes me so happy.. can't wait to listen to all of them. Thanks for all you do MrBallen!!
OMG! Story one is so heartbreaking. I think the judge made the right decision. This man will live in grief and guilt for the rest of his life. My son used to sleepwalk; he is never violent, but there were❤ been some issues. For example, one morning when he was 10, we went to wake him up for school, and he was nowhere in the house. Of course, we panicked and called the police. He was finally found sleeping in our neighbors doghouser. After this inciden,t we installed a home alar,m and whenever any door was opened we were notified. Thank goodness as he got older he outgrew the sleepwalking.
Story 2 was just amazing. I have heard of broken heart syndrome, but didn’t know exactly what it entailed. Our brain and body are still such a wonder.
I heard the father of my children die. There was a fire in our house and I took out two of our three kids. Their sister was sleeping over at my mother’s house. I called 911 and could hear him scream one loud scream, one I will never forget… the firemen told me I heard his last breath… I was 29, when on the morning of October 27th 2013 I saw Matt running upstairs to never come back down alive.
He was 33 we had three kids of the age of young age. Since then there have been ups and downs and in 2022 I found out I had Multiple Sclerosis I was 38 … my kids have been through so much in their little lives. All I want is for them to become awesome adults and be happy. Mr.Ballen you were a huge part of my recovery when I had a concussion in 2019. I couldn’t stand loud noises so I would put you on low in my headphones while doing some full conscious mediation!
Thank you for the time and love you pour into your viewers and listeners! By the way my grandmother was Ms. Primavesi, the only child Gustav Klimt ever painted!! Check her out!! Have a very Happy Easter! 🐣
I'm so very sorry for what happened to your husband, and also for you because no one should have to experience these horrors. You are so brave, and I wish you the😢 strenght to keep the fight against multiple sclerosis. Also, thank you for sharing your story with us.
Mäda? That's pretty cool, I enjoy Klimts artwork. I'm sorry about your husband though, but I'm glad you are there for the children and I hope that you can find a treatment regimen for the MS that helps halt it for a while. Take care!
My girlfriends grandad had Alzheimer’s and it got to the point he couldn’t remember his wife who is of course my partners grandmother. He literally started remembering things from when he was a child and even tried to walk back to the house he grew up in as a child but it had all been demolished but he still knew the exact spot that house was at. Anyways.. he got so bad that he turned on his wife a few times and so he had to go into a home and have 24 hour care. I swear to you now from that very moment her grandmother was completely destroyed and was a shell of herself utterly heartbroken and from that day her health declined so bad it was like her body couldn’t cope and she died within the year of their separation. Before that she was physically fit and mentally fit. I believe if her grandad never got this shitty disease that her grandmother would still be here today… It’s crazy what love can do to someone.
This is the first time Mr Ballen made me cry 🤧 Im so glad the mom of the second story made it.
the way you describe the persona and background thoughts is truly amazing!
i tell stories in the same manner to my daughter when i read her bedtime stories, i use the main storyline as a base but expand on the thoughts and actions depicted in the pictures above the story. now she points out characters and wants me to make an adventure through the art instead of the story.
never loose your imagination, its so awesome
The last story was so beautiful. That poor woman, losing her beloved husband, and then coming back for her kids.
"Real photo of a different heart monitor" kinda got me ngl 😂
You were right... that second story got me all teary! 😢❤
Every since I’ve been listening for years now! I can picture the scene I can picture the places
I CANT with any other podcast!
I constantly recommend to my friends and have recently got two friends to be obsessed as well, both the UA-cam channel and the medical mysteries so good!!!!
I’ve watched 1000’s of real paramedic and cop shows and have never seen the officers and first responders form a closed in circle with their bodies to give the griever private time with the diseased. The compassion, empathy and heart felt kindness is truly in each and every one of them. Thanks for sharing Mr Ballen ❤
Should never had called her to the scene in the first place!
@@terijane7291exactly!!! so confused why on earth they did that. especially considering how terrible the scene was. if she would of never came, she likely would of never went through all that & almost died. 😢
Does anyone else love when Mr B clasps his hands together and leans them towards us while saying " ok lets get into todays stories"? I just feel like its so heartfelt and genuine like thats his way of inviting us all to be with him on his journey of story telling!
-and the ' like ' button-
-xD !-
I love this channel and what his non profit does.
what
Weirdo!
calm down, rebecca..
Thank you Mr. Ballen for your amazing stories. I love hearing all of them. You tell the stories in such a wonderful way.
Thank you. It was a bumpy road that’s for sure. Today I am still standing and going forward! Hope you are well have a blessed day!❤
The second story was so touching, I've got a couple of tears to wipe away. I've lost 3 family members in the past 4 years. I take care of my sister who is disabled and she's in and out of the hospital, often. I "felt" this story...
Hugs to you❤
Mr Ballen, I am a 40 yr old man,who is like a little kid when you tell a new story on UA-cam. Thank you:)
Been trying to catch up on your episodes. I very much enjoy listening to your segments you don't try to make it a spectacle, it's honest and puts you in the moment of the story.
You are the best, Those two stories did bring tears to my eyes
Three years a fan and I still love it❤❤❤!!!!!!!!
Appreciate the support ❤❤🙏
You are amazing Mr. Ballen.🎉
God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, who is the name above all names & the only way to Heaven❤
@@arsondarkseakeep your fantasies to yourself
MOMMM I THINK UA-camS DRUNK AGAIN!!!!🐣🥚
Broken Heart Syndrome…💔
This is overwhelmingly sad…
Thank God her children were there to “talk her through” this tragedy…
God bless Lauren, and all the people she loves…❤️❤️❤️
I can listen to this dude all day. It doesn't matter what story is it , MrBallen makes it interesting, and he pulls you in...
Thankyou for the first story. I'm from Wales and have never heard it before. I feel so bad for both of them
That 2nd story has me all choked up. I can’t help but put myself in that woman’s shoes. Thank God for that doctor. Never underestimate the power of a mother’s connection to her babies. ❤
My gf used to sleepwalk....once,she got up late at night, opened the door and went outside.I had to immediately run behind her to get her back because we both were COMPLETELY naked.......thank God nobody saw us....
I knew someone who sleptwalked. They would always wake up in their shower with a pillow AND the pillowcase was always removed. It's wild.
My younger brother would walk out the back door and down the road whenever we would stay at our grandparents. our grandmother had to start putting stuff in front of the door so she would hear him trying to leave.
I once slept walked while on vacation with friends. I slept walked out of the hotel room, took the elevator to the street level and started walking thru the parking lot when I woke up. I was 18 and was dreaming I had taken a nap at a friends house and had to get home. It was sort of embarrassing to knock on the hotel room door at 3AM to get let back inside while in just an oversized Tshirt. A lot could have gone wrong that night.
Sleepwalked?
My aunt MariaRosa had this condition. Her older sister once found her in the kitchen late at night with all the pots and pans out "cooking". We were all so scared each night that one time she might turn on the stove to "cook". This is a real thing and anyone that does not believe that man, I can definitely vouch that it's very real and scary.
@@SleepySGtypo Karen ?
I can only watch Mr. Ballin every now and then. When I first started watching him, I was so into it! He’s such a good story teller and all of the stories are crazy! But they are all very dark and when you watch them on replay, it can really get you down
I had that exact same thing. Its amazing how many doctors still have not heard of it.
I knew that a person could die from a broken heart, and now I understand how that works. Thanks, John! I believe in learning something new every day! It keeps me young.
My best friend had the broken heart syndrome after suffering several losses. I was crying thru your video, realizing how close I came to losing her.
This story really got to me like I just sat here and shed a few tears. Mr Ballen really knows how to pull at the heartstrings
Hello, I have been listening to your videos for about a year, and you just never disappoint. Thank you for the stories and the very entertaining way you tell them
Story 2: The power of love, fully expressed. It has the power to destroy you, but it also has the power to save you.
Happy Easter, everyone
🐣HAPPY EASTER 🐣
Happy Easter!!🐰💐🥚✝️
Thanks
Easter is tomorrow!!!!!
Happy Easter
Mr Ballen is an absolute terrific story teller. I watch every chance I get. Thank you
The story of Lauren is so heartbreaking yet uplifting. Praise God for that Doctor, and for her children. You can tell they are a very close family and how much they love one another. I am heartbroken Lauren and her children lost their husband and father. Thankful, she did not die. 🙏❤️
The first story was heartbreaking as well, I am really glad the judge dropped the charges. You knew he loved his wife. 😔🙏
the first responders forming a shoulder to shoulder circle around a devastated Lauren was beautifully empathic.
Lauren had a literal "broken heart" 💔
after losing her husband.
so sad.
As soon as you started describing heart attack symptoms in the second story I said to myself "broken heart syndrome". I'm so glad that doctor had read that article!
As a 25yr RN and 20 of those years working in Hospice, I can absolutely attest to Broken Heart Syndrome being a real thing. In fact, when you have people who have been married for 50+ years, it is exponentially a bigger issue. To the point that I have had many conversations with families about the possibility of this occuring. In fact, the statistics are staggering that anyone married for 30+ years is not only at risk for this syndrome, but HUGE probability of them passing within a year of each other. Never forget, humans are pack animals. We need each other and form strong attachments. It is as heartbreaking as it is a beautiful thing. To know that someone loved you soooo much, they cannot live without you (literally), is goals we should all strive for. I can't tell you how many folks I have told, "True love is a romantic thing. True love is kissing your wifes crusty lips and turning her every 2 hours so that she doesnt get bed sores....and still loving her in ways most can't understand." Very humbling to witness. Something we all aspire to.....
Wow that was truly sad both of those stories are so tragic and my heart goes out to those families but that poor mother that story gave me chills and goosebumps to hear how strong she was and how she pulled through because of her children is just incredible that truly is motherly love at its best
Many years ago, my mom (who was a nurse) told me that even if someone is in a coma, they can still hear you. I had the unfortunate opportunity to try this on my mom last December when she was rushed into ICU and put into a medical coma. Her heart and breathing rates were very high, and I talked her into bringing them down. It was incredible to see that she was able to lower and stabilize both for a good hour until I left for home.
When my sister and I visited our mom, we would talk with her to help give her a chance to fight whatever illness she was dealing with. She came out of the coma on her own Christmas Day.
Sadly, though she tried her best to fight hard, she ultimately lost the battle and passed away on March 7th, 2024.
If you have a loved one in a coma, please, talk with them. They can hear you!
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. Big hugs from
🇨🇦Alberta, Canada🇨🇦
she didn't lose, her illness died with her. it was a tie. i hope for healing and happiness for you and your family
I used to talk to comatose pets all the time as a vet tech, Im sure they heard me and it made me feel better anyway. I once cradled a snake who had very difficult time to come back after a big surgery, we called her owner (to come say his goodbyes, it didnt look good) and as he started to hold her, she started to come out of it. Snakes hearing isnt the best, she probably smelled him, but it’s the same thing. I was happy to put the euthanasia meds away, best outcome we couldve hoped for!
@@ttaammaarraa I never thought to look at it that way. Thank you :) she's at peace, she is free from suffering. I'm okay with all this. I know she wouldn't want to live in the hospital bedridden.
@@janemiettinen5176 great to know! And glad the snake was okay xo
The first story is absolutely heartbreaking. I cannot imagine what it must be like to know that you actively killed your loved one without meaning to. The amount of guilt that must instill....my heart goes out to the husband.
I always love hearing the stories set in wv , ths one was sad but also inspiring .. thank god for Ruby and Dr. Fallinger for healing her broken heart ❤
So, we’re just ignoring bald Mr Ballen on the thumbnail?
Plot twist: Mr Ballen is actually bald, his long “hair” comes attached with the hats he wears..🤷♂️😂
Searched for this 🤣
Hah, seen him in an early video ooking hello fresh...capless -- he has hair
🥲 the kids saved their mum from broken heart syndrome. Almost made me cry. Farout that was sweet. Good doctor!
Lauren is such a soldier!! And her kids love, there's nothing like it. I love my mom so much and I would never want to lose her. It's nothing that can prepare you for that. This story gives me hope
Never wanted to cry more from a Ballen vid.
Fans from Asia,last month I randomly found this MrBallen channel,his video pop up so I decided to click and watch his uploaded video and wow now i can't stop watching his uploaded video from old to new till now, haven't finish yet still watching day by day!! Im watching a lot of UA-camr talking abt mysterious strange etc but never see anyone like MrBallen what a fantastic storyteller the way he's telling all the strange mystery dark stories,all the videos mind blowing and heartbreaking 😐🤯
Second story, her symptoms are similar to what we call "capture myopathy" in wild animals -they go into cardiac arrest due to the stress of being captured-usually when mishandled by humans
Ive had small bird die in my hands as a former vet tech, it’s rare but can happen, even without mishandling. Budgie got away from its owner and as I caught it with a towel after some chasing, poor thing just keeled over, we couldnt bring it back. In humans it’s called stress myopathy, aka Takotsuba’s myopathy or broken heart syndrome.
Awwh!!! That's soooooo sad!
@@janemiettinen5176 I was a licensed wildlife rehabber, and this couple brought me a fawn...that they had chased across the yard, and handled and put in their car and...needless to say, by the time they got done messing with it, it was a goner! Had a woman bring me about a dozen fledgling birds-that their kids had chased down because everybody knows birds fly and of course these must be abandoned and...and I hate humans. And no longer rehab
@@hwalter5432 Humans are why Im no longer vet tech. Animals I can handle every day, but the owners.. Most were awesome, but the horrible ones really did a number on me.
@@tarae5380My gf used to sleepwalk....once,she got up late at night, opened the door and went outside.I had to immediately run behind her to get her back because we both were COMPLETELY naked.......thank God nobody saw us....
I work in healthcare and love how you are now doing medical mysteries . Your story telling is phenomenal .
Yes these stories get me thru the workday. I’m grateful.
This was an incredible episode. Real tear jerker.
And I’m super excited for MrBallen Medical Musteries!
