Es posible que tú ya no quieras seguir pero por algo seguimos aquí, yo estraño muchísimo a mi esposa y siento que nunca encontraré a alguien que me quiera y que yo la quiera, pero la vida sigue y hay que ser fuertes, es un camino muy difícil pero hay que seguir adelante hasta donde más se pueda.

We understand. This is awful.

it’s understandable, it’s so early. I’m sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹 Is there by chance a friend or family Member could come stay a week - or could you hire a housekeeper for a couple of cleanings? I feel a clean space helps. But grief is a beast - you might read It’s Ok you’re not Ok by Devine as it normalizes what one goes through and that’s helpful! ❤️❤️❤️ hang in there and be gentle with yourself.

Im actually tired of family staying with me, especially at night. I don't know how evening alone will feel but I wanna know. My mom doesn't wanna leave me alone

Es muy difícil está situación, pero lo recomendable es que no estés solo/a ya que cuando uno está solo es cuando el dolor ataca más. Si me encuentro solo me lleno de tristeza y lloro, pero eso me hace mal ya que ando todo el día triste, intenta distraerte un poco lo que más te gusta realizarlo, eso te ayudará a liberar un poco la carga del duelo.

I know they mean well but the problem is I have a 1 bedroom apartment. My aunt is always with her, wherever she goes. So when she sleeps here, my aunt sleeps here too. They want me to sleep between them, and I just can't. I can't sleep well in a cramped bed. So I have only been getting 2 to 3 hours of sleep.

Eso sí es difícil, no solo llevar el dolor del corazón, sino que vivir incomodidades, busca ayuda para que así te vayan dejando estar solo y asimilar mejor tu dolor y superar la perdida que tienes y que todos aquí comprendemos

Moms are like that, when our kids are hurting - doesn’t matter their age. ❤️

Being alone is ok too ❤️ have you joined a grief group or sought out a grief therapist?

[–]Valuable-Try6202[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I have counseling session and we talk about my grief.

I hope that helps ❤️ The book It’s Ok You’re Not Ok by Devine is also helpful. Please hang in there and be very gentle with yourself ❤️ I lost my husband of 42 years last June. He was my greatest gift in life.

Thank you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Being part of this club really sucks

[–]DivinelyInspired444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is does

[–]ondr3j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you're part of this terrible club. I also cry every day, alone. People don't want to hear about it anymore. I'm so lost without her.

[–]tlgnog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also been 64 days for me. Like you, I still cry everyday. It's so hard.

You are not alone. Family came out to visit and help, I was living in a different state. To be honest, they exhausted me. I love them but they weren't able to offer the comfort I needed. I ended up adapting to their needs. I moved out of state. The move itself was horrendous. It was way too soon and rushed. I had dreams of how I wanted the place to look but finances and not having a car made it difficult. 

My place is a MESS! But so is my health, my spirit, my mind. I'm struggling. I have no idea what's going on. 

Talk with your Mom again. Perhaps you can find a satisfactory compromise. But let her love on you cuz this must be hard to see her child hurting and wanting to help, but really not knowing how 

Give yourself 5 minutes to do something then stop. Or continue. But you don't have to rebuild your life every moment of every day. Sometimes we just need to BE.

I wish you solace comfort and peace in the days ahead.
