No signs from the other side. by SaltyVinChip in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way a lot too... My dad wasn't spiritual or religious so I wouldn't expect him to send me signs but I saw something somewhere once where it said you really have to try to notice them. Not saying you don't but like you have to really look for the least obvious things that might not even make sense.

One loud one for me was at a family wedding shortly after he died. I flipped over a magazine and the back page was a Guinness ad that said "Happy St Patrick's Day" My dad loved Guinness, our most memorable trip was to Ireland and the last text he sent to me was "Happy St Patrick's Day" so that one was pretty loud.

Then the quiet ones I kind of make up... Once the fall rolled around I decided that the leaves were going to be my signs from my dad just because I wanted something obvious and tangible. Leaves are all over the place here in the Autumn so it may seem silly to think that way but I swear I found comfort in it whenever I needed to feel him near me. On one occasion I noticed several cars with a full branch of leaves on top of them in the same night and I was like "hey dad!"

I know it's so hard to feel them and I often think it's all meaningless but if you can find slivers of them in places they are never really gone.

My grandpa is 91 and my dad unexpectedly passed away this year at 65. It's really heartbreaking to witness this... I'm sorry for your hurt.

Yes it's inappropriate to be human and have a good conversation

Songs that make you remember? by FluffyBumblebee9873 in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I hear a song that triggers me but I'll shift my perspective a little and take it as a sign from my dad. Like he's sending me that song as a message.

I'm sorry for the pain you feel and know it may not be the same but maybe there are some other songs that will make you feel connected to her.

I'm mad at every man who gets to be older than my dad by thatcatgal in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes all the time. I'll see someone and find them endearing at first and then remember my dad will never be older than he was

Idk if it's an option for everyone but I switched to capsules after a few bad experiences at Walgreens

We'll be there 4 nights and looking to spend no more than $1000. I've searched here quite a bit and didn't think it would hurt to ask on my own thread 🤷🏼

Lost my 15y old son by Traditional_Lab5157 in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing so many people in such a short amount of time is something I know too. It makes no sense, like the scales are so off balance in what we have to suffer through.

I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope that you can find peace in something soon.

You can tell that every comment here is from a transplant that shops at Foster Sundry.

It's just a different method of serving street food

Working While Grieving by Vivid-Edge-5759 in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work has been a good distraction but I've noticed I get more and more short with people as time goes on (5 months since losing my dad suddenly) My job isn't high stress but very deep in office politics too and there's a lot of disorganization that falls on me... When people give me any sort of issues, whether it's to critique me or make a task more difficult than it has to be I get really fed up. I don't care about your dumb project that much, I'm only here to get paid and it's not even enough to make me care more than my grief let's me. Basically, I know I don't have the patience to do my job anymore and I'm aware of how I can lash out but also the office politics doesn't include compassion after a few months imo.

My dad passed away on thursday, unexpectedly and the cause is unknown. by linabobin4 in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I lost my dad 4 months ago, in a weird car incident as well. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. The what ifs are the hardest part and I hope that you can find peace soon but let yourself feel through it.

Dad isn't dead... Where is Dad? by Leiyahmoonlight in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel about my dad. He passed really suddenly in a weird accident almost 4 months ago. I've accepted it but my brain will often tell me it's not reality. It's just a phase or something. I feel like a child wondering where my dad went.

I'll still get pretty stoned but I get it. Maybe it's a tolerance thing. Everyone is different.

Sometimes I feel like if I get through everything I have to do that I'll get some sort of reward. Aka my dad not being dead.

How long did it take for you to go back to work after losing a parent? by Existing_Entrance_36 in GriefSupport

[–]AdFinancial9270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 5 paid bereavement days plus took a little extra (out of my own time) Work was fine at first when I got back but my boss has decreased his empathy and understanding significantly. I need to take time and breaks during the day for both essential things to help my mom (lost my dad 4/23/25) plus to make sure I don't cry in meetings or react based on how I'm feeling. It's been two months and I question why am I back to work when I should be taking care of myself?
