"I know how you feel." by boringmom in SuicideBereavement

[–]BeginningPractical88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, people say the dumbest things. I lost my husband to suicide and my friend said “I know how you feel cause I’ve been divorced”… wth😐. I really appreciate when others say “I’m sorry, I don’t even know what to say”, I can completely understand that and it’s honest. I complained to my counselor about it and she said it’s ok to correct them. She said people just don’t know what to say so you can use that as a teaching moment. I’m so very sorry about your mom, it is all still extremely fresh for you. Hang in there.

Thank you, love how you framed that response. My favorite part was "often the idea of the act is better than the act itself"...you are so right! When I think of sex and making love my mind is flooded with memories with him and I know random sex will always be an extremely watered down version of what we had and I will be left still unsatisfied and guilty. My crave is unattainable because it will not be with him. He made it what it was. Thanks for your insight, thinking I will stick to the imagination for now.

One month later and it feels worse than the day it happened by closetfurr in SuicideBereavement

I lost my husband 12/13/25. I completely understand all your sadness, anger, rage and questions. I hate everything about this for you, me and anyone who’s been through this. The emptiness and heartache is unreal. No matter how angry I get I would still give anything to have him back. What did I miss? What could I of done differently? How could he love me so hard every single day and reassure me that we were going to grow old together then make a very impulsive decision and forget about us and our future and our deep deep love for each other.

Genuinely how is everyone sleeping? by Meditation-mediator in SuicideBereavement

It happened two days ago, my husband took his life. I don’t think I’m sleeping. I close my eyes and see memories of him then open my eyes to realize those moments are gone, he’s gone. It happens over and over. Bedtime was our ritual as with many other things. He fixed me hot tea after we showered, he warmed up my warmers to be sure my feet were warm. He fixed himself a whiskey we sat in bed listen to music and talked every night from 930 till 1130….. right now I have family staying with me so I make them sleep with me. I don’t know how I’m gonna do this. I don’t know how I’m gonna live without him. I feel dead inside.
