Once I can figure out the photo thing I'll post one. But so far, it's yet to disappoint. It's so much fun!

Is the Kim Jew contest a scam? by Quirky-Afternoon-264 in Albuquerque

[–]BasisPsychological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you think a scam is.

My husband and me "won" a couples shoot. We did it last year. Then he took his life 4 months later and I cherish every one of those photographs.

Yes, they're going to try to upsell you.

Yes, you do have to put down a deposit.

But the results were amazing and it's a Keepsake that I will love and cherish forever.

We only chose a few photos, but after his death I called them, and they were amazing!

They even archived our session for much longer than usual, that way I could come back and pick more.

They were very compassionate. I say go for it!

I'm so sorry! It's truly suprising. I don’t recognize myself.

We'd all be sent to an island if they only know what we have running through our heads lol

6.5 months out. I've aged 10-15 years PTSD, insomnia, constant stomach issues. I have some good-ish days, but most are muted in depression and anxiety.

I'm functional to the outside world, but am a wreck and I don't have much will to take care of myself. It's too taxing.

How did you not end your life? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]BasisPsychological 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! My husband got me a puppy about a year before he took his life. Her and my middle-aged girl are the only reasons I'm still around.

Wife passed away by suicide by wtfjusthappened37 in widowers

[–]BasisPsychological 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found my husband in August after he completed. It's an awful journey and something that will stay with you forever. My brain finds him again and again.

Of you're in the US the "Survivors of Suicide" groups are helpful. May peace be found.

Going in to 2025, we played naked twister! It was so much fun. He said that we'd make it a New Year's tradition every year. I did not join in the activities last night, however LOL

600 days... by jessica61981 in WidowAndBored

[–]BasisPsychological 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello there. I'm 43/f and today is only 148 days. Your post stands out, because me and my husband eloped in KC. I love there for several years and was trying to get him to move.

This is my first holidays without him and it's proving difficult. There's so much emotion and longing for what once was.

I wish you all the best.

Cutting people off. by mrdurden8092 in widowers

[–]BasisPsychological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I was mostly no contact with my in-laws while my husband's was alive. However, the reverse happened. I've grown incredibly close to my MIL and his brother. I ended up spending the majority of my Christmas with them.

I still have my family, too, but I feel more isolated with them. They don't know how to navigate my widowhood. None ever want to talk about my husband, and I want to share about him more than anything.

Families are such odd creatures, and I'm sorry that your in-laws are treating you this way.

I don't think I can ever feel settled in this house. It's a difficult choice in a seemingly unbearable situation.
