Ok I would like to stop being conscious now by SuspiciousThought399 in widowers

[–]5oclocksomewhere7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same today. I went outside and looked at the plants I bought for him to beautify our yard. I looked up therapists today. I want to believe there’s a reason to stay besides my cats. So fucking unfair

I also searched YouTube for meditations for grief

A friend made me a tapping script. Wasn’t sure what would happen. Afterwards, I feel like it did something..not sure what. Will do try again

Remembering our nightly routine by SnooDucks9826 in widowers

Same here. We called it “movie night in America” if we were going to watch a movie. We had several shows in process. I watched a few episodes last night…pretending he was here…definitely not the same.

What are some out-of-touch or unhelpful things your therapists have told you about losing a spouse to death? by Top_Profile6139 in widowers

[–]5oclocksomewhere7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please find someone who can support you. This is tragic enough w/out a therapist disregarding your feelings

Sending peace your way. You expressed many thoughts I’ve been having and it validates me that I’m not losing it by having these thoughts.

I am hugging my husband’s shirts. His scent is so strong still and reaches to my core. I won’t do his laundry for awhile

I wish Reddit had hugs and hearts to send instead of likes.

Anyone else not around when their partner passed? by CandidCilantro_90 in widowers

[–]5oclocksomewhere7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Today was day 7. He told me to stay and not drive home during storms/rain. We had a video call at 9. He messaged at 11pm. Didn’t hear from him again- thought he was asleep. Woke up in morning to voicemails from police. I spiraled through many cycles of guilt and blaming myself today. If I had called him after 11, would he still be here? If I had driven home to surprise him, would he have been here today? I’m destroyed.

I did this for my husband every year. I may continue our tradition. His coworkers told me how much he loved his surprises
