Our research into broken heart syndrome began with a study that was conducted at the Institute of Heart-Math in Boulder Creek, California. The subjects were six long-time couples' hooked up to heart rate monitors as they slept beside each other. The results revealed that during the night, while they were sleeping, their heart rhythms began to fall into sync, rising and falling at the same time. In the morning, when the printouts of their EKGs were placed on top of each other, they looked virtually the same. How can this happen if there is no connection?"When people are in a relationship for 20, 30, 40, 50 years, they create sort of a co-energetic resonance with each other," says Lipsenthal, the past director of Dr. Dean Ornish's Preventative Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California. "A simple analogy is two tuning forks put next to each other. They create a co-resonant pitch. What happens when two people sleep together for 50 years? What happens when one goes away?"
He was 94 and she was 90. They had been married for 72 years when a tragic car accident put them in the hospital where they were sharing the same intensive care unit when their 64 year old son arrived. He said, "they were holding hands, but weren't really responsive." That afternoon Gordon Yeager passed away with his wife and family beside him. Their son David witnessed the event and said, "they were holding hands and dad stopped breathing, but I couldn't figure out what was going on because the heart monitor was still going, we were like, he isn't breathing. How does he still have a heart beat?" The nurse explained, "her heart was beating through him and the monitor is picking it up." Exactly one hour later Norma Yeager died too. They continued to hold hands at the funeral earlier this year, sharing the same casket, as inseparable in death as they were in life. Tom LeDuc
