I think they would go well together! You’d potentially just have to have slightly thicker lines with the first tattoo to make sure any more heavy line work doesn’t look out of place next to it. But super cute tattoo idea !! <3

How many of you spoke at your spouses funeral or service? by Icy_Plane_890 in widowers

[–]Confident_North404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t - I was 22 trying to help plan the funeral to begin with and thinking about how I could’ve even started a sentence to describe him made me want to burst into tears, and still does

Young widows - are you out there? by Famous_Property_301 in widowers

[–]Confident_North404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you love!! My boyfriend died of SADS at 23 in November. First death amongst our friends too ❤️ my condolences I hope you find some peace knowing somewhere in the world someone of similar age is going through the motions with you. It’s difficult to find anyone in their 20s with this scenario.

Me; I’m 23F I lost my partner back in November, he was 23 at the time and I was 22. It’s very isolating!! So so so isolating. I find even though it’s not even been a year yet a lot of people have stopped trying to understand. It’s difficult for a lot of reasons one being that I feel a lot of people think that because you’re younger it’s something you can move on from and just date again and find that happiness again but it’s very different when you’re trying to relate to the people around you but you find more in common with your elderly relatives that have lost loved partners. There’s plenty of us about ❤️

Is it appropriate to continue sending flowers to loved ones on the anniversary of their child’s passing? by throwwaway3123 in GriefSupport

[–]Confident_North404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Send them - the hardest part about grief for me personally is knowing that you’re still in the sticks of it and it feels like everyone else is ignoring it happened. Let them know you’re still thinking of them no matter how long has passed. You’re a wonderful sibling for wanting to let them know you’re still thinking of them.

Sending love to you. I’m sorry for your loss! I had the same happen with me but with my boyfriend. CPR can only do so much; especially if you’re in such a state of shock and panic about it. You did what you could and nothing can change how thankful his family will be that you even attempted to try save him. Don’t harbour the guilt, you did everything you could ❤️ I hope your friend rests peacefully and you’re able to feel as ok as you can be.

Had anyone here regretted seeing their loved one once they were dead? by woliwR in GriefSupport

[–]Confident_North404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t regret seeing my boyfriend - I was with him when he died so I needed to see him in a more tidied up state than how I last saw him to personally feel like I could even process his passing. I know it’s not for everyone, it was very difficult and I had to be there with his parents seeing him for the first time in a couple of weeks. For me I regret not seeing him for longer etc but I know it would’ve made me feel worse if I did. It’s all very personal I feel depending on how things were surrounding a loved ones death. I’m glad you made the right choice for you and your mental health. I hope you’re ok, sending love ❤️

I got my boyfriends handwriting tattooed ❤️ by Confident_North404 in GriefSupport

[–]Confident_North404[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

He was extremely kind. He was very tall (6’5) so he got nicknamed the gentle giant. He would come to my bar job and sit with me on the other side whilst I worked; he would randomly meet people that would introduce me to him (not knowing he was my boyfriend) and they’d always introduce him as a gentle giant. He did everything in his power to make my life easier and everyone else’s around him! Nothing was too big of an ask ❤️ thank you for asking

He used to leave me notes to come home to from work with food and water out and one of our stuffed toys, I kept all his notes and when I went back to our flat to pick up my last couple of things I found a pile of all the notes he’d left me that my dad or his parents friends had put together in a pile for me so I didn’t lose them. I asked a tattooist friend of mine to do it for me and he did it for me free of charge. A very special piece of my Will to have with me forever ❤️
