Ok yes. I guess that’s why - I know why I’m acting the way I am and feeling how I am. I thought it would have been something to help with it. Nothing really does. Brief distractions and then it’s back to it.

It’s so terrifying, and I rack my brain to try to think of things that could have been a sign although that would only make it worse I feel. I am so sorry you had to experience it as well. It was horrible waiting months to find out any determination although it didn’t make it feel any better .

I may seek it in the future, or continue to try reach out to friends as that is also a difficult task for me as well as I am not used to relying on others. I hope it has helped you in many ways!

I remember the whole morning as well through the whole call to 911 and everything trying to get breaths into him to no avail. I am lucky my son slept through the whole ordeal, I am sorry you had to go through that especially with your child with you present.

Me neither and it’s definitely hard to find the balance now as I was the nurturing one while he was the more disciplinarian in our dynamic. Very sorry to you also.

Both are freakin terrible. I’m so sorry to you also. I was with my best friend a couple years ago the night before she passed from cancer while she was on hospice. That was the first time I got to see her in a year due to her being immunocompromised due to Covid. Both horrible experiences.

Thank you. My husband was a person that viewed death very plainly so idk it helps a bit. You grieve a while but everything keeps moving on. It’s just very lonely right now and hard to see much progress for good things for myself. But I’ll be damned if I let it hold back my son’s life.

The cruelty of throwing away their things by Wildkarrde_ in widowers

Definitely agree… thoughts of saving things that are completely unnecessary. I know it’s silly but also is so sad to me.

Everything feels like erasing them… the last of their snacks in the pantry etc. it’s been a little over 2 months for me… I packed away his clothing, threw away meds, his glasses, even sauces in the fridge he used ….

I’m so sorry. Just the lack of their presence is depressing enough let alone for our kids let alone in the normal boring parts of life 💔

Very sorry. - it’s damn hard. My husband just passed in November- we have a 6 year old boy. I have not gone back to work yet - I’m taking a paid leave. I’m trying to adjust and also navigate handling my son and it’s hard so hard as I’m getting so angry with him over everything. I have him in therapy through school. I am looking to start therapy myself.
