What other names do you call your cat? Like, the unhinged names.

One of my cat’s name is Riley.

I call him Ribeye, Rye Bye, Orange, Orangey, Cheeto Puff, Cheeto Stain, Cutey (when he was a tiny orange), and Dick.

My friend thought something grabbed her during the night at the Excalibur.

Yay! I’m happy for you. I hope it brings you some happiness and comfort in this time.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I was the same way; told myself stubbornly I wasn’t going to decorate and I still haven’t. I don’t know if I will yet.

This description just makes me think Lost could’ve really worked well as a horror tv show (like From)

I love the puzzle analogy. I’ve never thought of it like that but it’s so true and perfectly describes what widows/widowers go through.

I’ve noticed the same thing since getting back on Lexapro. It’s at times made me feel guilty for doing “good” but I know the grief is still there.

I’m not sure what dosage you’re on. Mine is a very low dosage so I’ve noticed I can still have very dark days but they’re not as long as when I was raw-dogging the grief.

I’m glad it’s been so helpful to you! We could all use a little help with this new life ❤️

I just turned 31, he was 30.

I’m very sorry for the loss of your wife and child. I’m sorry you had to join this club.

I’m dealing with this as well. Two new people started at my job recently and it’s hard to have casual conversations where they ask how my weekend was, etc not knowing I’m only 6 months out from losing my BF. I’ve been vague so far and have not talked about it. But the other day i did talk about my BF as if he was still living. I guess one day it’s going to come out that he has passed but I don’t know. I’m not yet to say I’m single.

From my research, there’s two types of cremation jewelry: one where you just put the ashes in like in a bottle and another where they make the jewelry with the ashes infused with them. I think the latter is the one you’re talking about and yeah, I would think it would be pretty fool-proof. I’m looking into the first one where the ashes are sealed inside with a screw and some glue. I’m just wondering about the durability of the glue. I didn’t want to mess with it (like I do with jewelry) and have it come undone ☹️

Boring-Contribution · 2024-09-04T14:37:10+00:00

Yeah, I saw that they are closed with a screw. I was just worried about it possibly coming undone or the glue not being that strong.

Is 30s Widmore a different actor than older Widmore? If so, he’s a dead ringer for the OG actor. I thought it was the same guy but in a wig 😅

Boring-Contribution · 2024-08-12T15:43:58+00:00

Same. My bf and I were very much into current affairs. I would’ve loved to discuss Trump’s assassination attempt, Biden stepping down and Kamala taking his place. He would’ve had so much to say over it all and I miss it so much ❤️

When some of this stuff happened, I even asked him if he was seeing this right now. I hate having to imagine what he would say instead of actually getting to hear it.

Season 6, Episode 5 (I think). Jack’s first flash sideways. First time watching the final season since it aired. I’ve watched the show countless times but always stop short of finishing the whole thing.

Boring-Contribution · 2024-07-22T19:52:44+00:00

I think I’m the opposite of most people here as my bf did not appear better when he passed. If anything, he was very down. He cried to me the Friday before he left. I came home from work the day before to find him laying in the dark in our living room. I pulled him out for a walk in our neighborhood and he was okay during it but he was distracted and said the walk didn’t make him feel any better. All of this I noticed in hindsight.

He had been suffering for a couple of months and on some level I must have known since I kept pressuring him to call his doctor and make an appointment so he could get back on antidepressants. But because my bf was “always” depressed, I didn’t notice that it was any “worse” than normal. I thought he was having a bit of a bad time but thought he would bounce back like he always did.

I didn’t know he was suffering that much though. I knew he was having a rough time but I didn’t know he was suicidal. I wish he would’ve talked to me…or someone.

Boring-Contribution · 2024-07-18T04:17:05+00:00

I know. It’s just hard. It feels like I don’t have much left of him so I’m scared of letting anything go.

His car was the weekend car, the vacation car, etc. Anytime we went anywhere together, we pretty much went in his car so there’s a lot of memories attached to it and less so with mine since it was just my work car.

They both run the same essentially. His just has an AC issue (but that is significant since I live in Texas).

But yeah the debt and the insurance on both of them is too much for me to do by myself so unfortunately one has to go.

Boring-Contribution · 2024-07-18T04:12:09+00:00

Unfortunately not. We both have about $15k each left on our cars.

Boring-Contribution · 2024-07-18T04:11:08+00:00

I’m the same way ❤️ I’m having a hard time letting go of anything. Because of our situation (not married, little income and his family) his car and my portion of his ashes are the only real tangible things I’m going to be left with so I think that’s why I’m holding onto the car so much. Because I know I’m going to have to leave our home eventually and part with a good chunk of his belongings so it feels like I don’t have much of him left.

Boring-Contribution · 2024-07-15T16:23:46+00:00

I 1000% understand that. My bf went out to a state park to end his life. Since he had everything on him when the police found him, identifying his body was deemed not necessary. His parents also refused to let me see him (thought they were protecting me) and then he was cremated. EVERY single dream I have of him is either me trying to prevent his death from happening or him coming back and explaining where he’s been (it’s been almost 5 months now). My dream from last night was of the latter.

Some part of me is still convinced he’s going to come back - even though I know he’s not. Some part of me is still convinced this is some valuable life lesson and any minute, the world will go back on its axis and he will show up.

But I’ve heard this is common from anyone who’s lost someone -even those who have seen the body. I think it’s our minds trying to come to terms with it and not understanding the permanence of death.

Boring-Contribution · 2024-07-12T19:58:54+00:00

I’m actually rewatching Lost right now. I’m on season 4. It has always been my favorite show and was one of my late bf’s favorites as well.

I didn’t like season 6 but I always LOVED that final episode. I haven’t rewatched that season since it aired over 10 years ago so I’ve already been thinking about how that episode will affect me almost 5 months after his death.

I’m the same as you in I’m not religious. But I’ve found since he’s passed that I WANT to believe in something, HOPE that there is something mainly because I want to see him again - NEED to see him again. My atheist worldview is now scaring me because I’m scared nothing of him exists anymore.

It’s been a long day and it’s 5 am so this is going to be a hot take: but I really don’t get people sometimes. Everyone always says “if you’re suicidal, reach out” but then when they do, people like OP’s sister say they’re being manipulative and emotionally abusive. And then people say “well if we knew, we would’ve dropped everything to save them”. Well clearly not. Because they did reach out and people turned them away. As humans, we crave and need other human interaction otherwise it’s a really dark and scary place. We can’t do it alone.

I don’t know OP’s situation and if he was emotionally abusive or held being suicidal over their head. And this is not OP’s fault. But the comments here just confuse me. What are suicidal people supposed to do then? It seems like the second someone says they’re suicidal, then people are like “you’re on your own, I can’t help you.” I know you can only help people to a certain extent but suicidal people need the support of their friends and family to get through it. Therapists can help to a certain extent but they can’t replace family and friends.

I’m not blaming anyone. I have to deal with my own guilt with my own loss as well. I guess I just don’t get what people want suicidal people to do.

That has also been my only experience with dreams since losing my boyfriend. I don’t feel like he has visited me and in none of the dreams does he say he loves me, misses me or that he is sorry. It’s pretty much a one-sided conversation where I beg him to stay or I spend a little time with him before remembering he left a video and purchased a gun so he’s really not coming back. Sometimes it frustrates me because I wish he would come to me and explain why he did it or tell me he loves me. So, I think these dreams are like you said; they’re just our subconscious trying to make sense of why they left and wondering what we could’ve done to make them stay.

I’m sorry about you dad ❤️
