How is it possible that emotional pain causes headache, heartache and stomachache?
Why does it hurt so much?
Will it ever pass?

1. Yes, It happened to be me before. I remember I finish a very sad epic love story, it took me one month. When it is over, i was very sad. Then later I start to feel that my heart or brain is craving for more. I start to get a headache. The way to cure is to foscued on something else. It is said that human brain only can hold one thought at a time. The way you think can cause you fear, happiness and sadness. If you focused on something else, or try to forget your emotional pain, it will pass.2. Technically, the head and stomach are well connected. Emotional pain usually leads to tension in the body which manifests in headaches. It also leads to more acid being produced by the stomach, thus the stomachache. On top of that, the depression is supressing production of endorphines, which help to block pain.
Surefire way of a quick emotional boost is a fast paced 30 minute walk, swim, bike ride or any other type of physical exercise. Even moving your arms, legs and/or neck as much as possible for a period of 30 minutes (if you have physical limitations) can do some good.
Depending on what caused the emotional pain, the pain itself will either pass or at least ease or change over time. The important thing is to permit yourself to feel the pain and then not clutch it to you permanently. A good primal scream into a large meadow/field may be helpful. You may also try destroying a cheap pillow/cushion no one will miss or some other source of energy expulsion as ways to further the healing.
If these sorts of things only work briefly with the pain returning soon after, please seek out a counselor, therapist or other trusted adult with which to chat.
3. Oh it is extremely possible.
The headache is probably from grief, crying and contemplating "how could this have happened?" lol sry
the heartache, well emotional pain causes heartache and makes people sad
stomachache is probably related to the heartache. its affecting your appetite and causing you to eat more or less or different. eithe way it is affecting you stomach.
i hope you feel better!
