Heartbroken and Heartbreaking ???
What's the different between Heartbroken and Heartbrreaking? They're both Adjectives and have the same meaning " extremely sad". I wonder how can we use these words correctly? How to compare these words?
Thanks!

Joseph gave some great examples.
Another way of saying it is that 'heartbreaking' describes a situation, and 'heartbroken' describes a person (or possibly an animal)
Or - 'heartbreaking' describes a cause, and 'heartbroken' the result!
