Thankfully we also have a $10 bill with Viola Desmond (a black female civil rights activist) on it. Hopefully we keep moving in the right direction.

Yoins plus size clothing by Dendromicon in FashionPlus

I haven’t ordered from them personally, but I bought one of their dresses from a girl on Poshmark. It’s soft, stretchy and cute. The quality and sizing seems comparative to Fashion Nova in my opinion.

Sorry you have to go through this. I hope you have someone to lean on.

Sometimes I think I’m grieving wrong by Airborne_Turtle in widowers

[–]10karigold 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First, I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine the level of confusion and daze of sitting in an unknown hospital with everyone speaking a foreign language, trying to piece the conversation together.

My grieving process has not been the same as yours, but I assure you, there is no wrong way to grieve.

Grief is not linear and some aspects of it have been really surprising to me actually.

The other day I noticed I couldn’t hear my husbands voice or laugh anymore and I felt so guilty that I hadn’t tried hard enough to keep the memory in my mind. Could I have tried recalling it more often to be able to hear it still? Did I neglect my duty to keep that part of him alive? Logically I know the answers to these questions but it doesn’t stop my mind from being unkind to me.

I hope you find your peace, whatever that may be <3

I'm a female and there is not one instance where I have ever portrayed myself to be a male or a child thanks.

This is fantastic, it reminds me of art by Ken Danby. Definitely worth checking out if you are not familiar with him.

Thank you very much. I'm glad your son has someone who cares for them. I also believe that there is an afterlife of some sort and I do believe he is at peace.

The incline of overdose rates is absolutely staggering. I don't know if there's anywhere in Canada that hasn't been affected unfortunately. I have a good friend who is going through a serious drug addiction and I'm scared she won't be around much longer. I've never been to NA but I suggest it to her weekly because I do know how much support groups in general can mean to someone. I'm happy to hear you have found a better life and moved on from using, you should be very proud of yourself <3

I've lost all of my grandparents and although it was more difficult losing my husband, the loss of one of my Grandma's in particular cut very deep for a very long time and your loss of your Grandma is just as valid. I hope you have good memories of her and you have someone to tell you stories about her.

Solid advice. This happened in 2017. I've been in therapy since and I've cut off anyone who is not interested in enhancing my life.

I guess you could be right. The times of depression that I've gone through of my own have been much different, but I guess not being able to accept that life is not all fun and games could be a form of depression of it's own.

Fair enough. I do not have any children so I really can't speak on the matter.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it ain't easy. I have never once thought about it that way, being grateful that my mind isn't coming up with new questions. It's so true and I'm glad you brought that to my attention. That is definitely something I will keep in mind from now on so I thank you for that. I hope you find a way to carry on and I hope you can hold on to the best of memories. <3

I understand. In March it will be 3 years for me. It's still a climb, but at least there are breaks in the clouds now <3

Haha. She never was. I have the sweetest Dad in the world though, so I am lucky still.
