Why are people from our past, especially from childhood and adolescence, so special, no matter how much time has elapsed between visits? These compelling connections are the result of shared roots during the formative years. Our childhood friends and teenage sweethearts experienced with us all the wonderful, horrible, boring, and embarrassing moments that helped to make us who we are today, creating a bond like no other.Yet parents often question the ability of teenagers to know what love is, and they seem to forget what a crushing blow it was when they lost their own first loves. They might try to comfort their teenagers by assuring their teens that the pain will soon pass and be forgotten, or encourage them to date someone new.Extensive research on rekindled romances, by Nancy Kalish, Ph.D., indicates that the pain of the breakup certainly does subside, but for some, the love can stay buried and dormant for decades... until, perhaps, the first love returns. This is Kalish's second book on the topic. Essentially a book of lost love stories, it is a Must Read for anyone who has read Lost & Found Lovers. Because of the extensive use of the Internet by more people, the topic has changed somewhat. Reunions still work if the people are single, divorced, or widowed, but the happy statistics do not apply to lost love affairs. This book updates some of Kalish's 1997 research.Chapter topics include war separations, overcoming disabilities, parental interference, reunions while married, spirituality, and men and women who still long for their lost loves. More than 250 pages, these are the best of the lost love stories that have been submitted to Dr. Nancy Kalish over the years.Most of these romances began in the teen years, when romantic feelings and sexual stirrings were new and when the slightest touch by the sweetheart sent shivers down the spine. First love, young love, is indeed real love.
