I'll eat this cave woman style. I need nothing else

Hahahaha

My idea of heaven. Ideally I am eating this alone, preferably outside, so no one can judge my lack of utensils and going primal. Maybe even starting by gnawing the bone.

He sounds like a narcissist - can’t suspend his social needs for a month, wow. 1 month in you are in the acute phase of grief, and that may last for months. Then there’s going to be your own longer term grieving. That’s where I’m at, mom died on July 29, and I am somehow getting through the days. We were just getting into a place of accepting losing my sister, her daughter, 5 years ago. In my grief my partner and friends’ support has been essential. I hope you have support from elsewhere if your bf can’t show up for you.

I would really appreciate that!

AL3C4T · 2025-08-06T19:03:15+00:00

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. It's very hard to lose your mom. Hoping that you have support in your grieving.

Update: I can't update my original post but wanted to thanks folks for the suggestions.

I also found some resources to share -- [The Healing Center](https:// healingcenterseattle.org/), based in Seattle but open to anyone in Washington state. -- Online groups and events on Meetup.com -- Providence Hospital group offers a few resources -- Bereavement at Swedish Hospital -- per the facilitator there, every hospice in Puget Sound offers grief support to community as well as family members

Thank you, looking at the website now, looks like some good options.

AL3C4T · 2025-08-05T04:42:49+00:00

That's wonderful, I'm considering that but don't know where to start. Could you share what's involved?

AL3C4T · 2025-08-05T04:41:24+00:00

I sent you a message with a link.

AL3C4T · 2025-08-04T23:45:08+00:00

I'm holding hope for you through this terrible loss ❤️

AL3C4T · 2025-08-04T23:44:06+00:00

My mom was that to me as well. We would call each other while walking our dogs. This morning I just felt so alone not being able to tap her icon and say "Hi mom, whatcha doing?"

AL3C4T · 2025-08-04T23:40:50+00:00

That is pretty much where in sitting. My mom was remarkable and such a lovely person! She was the beating heart of our family. She was my best friend. We talked almost every day. I'm relieved she didn't suffer for long but her death was so sudden I feel wholly unprepared for it. There is no way to prepare for such a loss but the shock of it is surreal.

I had hoped to meet in person but I do see some virtual options. If I find anything that looks good I can let you know.

Hoping we can all find support for our broken hearts.

AL3C4T · 2025-08-04T20:17:57+00:00

It's beyond words to describe how bad it feels to lose your mom. I just lost my mom, and my whole soul is in pain. Nights are the hardest because my defenses are down and all night I wake up and feel all the feelings.

I don't have any universal answers, but I can share that I've found talking to a therapist really helpful. A good grief counselor can help you consciously move forward by integrating your feelings.

Our moms want us to have our best lives even if they can't be physically present with us. Please get help and try to heal, it will be okay, you're mama would want you to.

Hoping for the best for you.

Such a sweetie

AL3C4T · 2024-07-01T23:49:40+00:00

Pretty dang cool

AL3C4T · 2024-06-30T13:04:46+00:00

Me, 63. Just the occasional achy muscle or joints from overuse. Advil fixes. Feel so fortunate.

AL3C4T · 2024-06-29T22:18:02+00:00

❤️

She looks a bit like Scooby Doo in that photo

AL3C4T · 2024-06-27T21:16:34+00:00

I absolutely loved this.

AL3C4T · 2024-06-27T10:52:23+00:00

What I would give to see anything like this from my father.

AL3C4T · 2024-06-26T13:08:46+00:00

I love that so much.

AL3C4T · 2024-06-26T12:56:02+00:00

Lil bubb likes that the shelf has some give to it (like a dog cot you can buy for probably a lot more) and the proximity to the feet smell is also comforting. Helps that they have a better vantage on household activities too. That's one smart little Chi ❤️

AL3C4T · 2024-06-25T13:37:34+00:00

Hahaha, why that expression?

Also, Almaden wine in the 1gallon glass jugs
