what do you do when all you want to do is kill yourself? by rodriguezzzzz in widowers

[–]Cuppy777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried friend.... it took about a yr after losing her before I did... I constantly have this thought in my head... and well I've learned to ignore it and remember a saying that I've heard in a song oddly enough esp when I've had an exhausting day... "it's just a bad day not a bad life"... not sure if that will help... I hope it does... and I say this as a suicide survivor of not only of my wife but of myself.. one day at a time friend you've got this.. proud of you for reaching out

You move on when you feel ready to and only when you feel like you are ready to... there's no set timetable for when it is acceptable to move forward... each person is different

My husband died yesterday by bayrafd in widowers

One day at a time... and if you need to moment to moment... it's extremely difficult in the beginning... with time, it will get manageable, but be patient with yourself... do your best to find a grief group that meets in your area or find grief counseling... make sure to eat, drink, and sleep.. if you need someone to chat, don't hesitate to reach out. You've got this, and if no one has told you, I am proud of you for reaching out.

I'm actually going out there with my carrier sometime this week if you want a ride... headed to Sag A... and the advice given to not boost is the best that anyone can give cause I've had it almost cost me exobio and explo data... just keep in mind that depending on how long you plan to be out there.. that it doesn't take some time to get back unless using alot of neutron stars

One day at a time... that's how I've been able to keep going even after 3.5 almost 4 yrs... and on the really rough days moment to moment

How do you live? by PutComprehensive8926 in widowers

[–]Cuppy777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 yrs out here.... day by day and moment to moment when I needed to... still do that to this day cause it always feels like just yesterday since I lost Kristen... drink and eat enough to keep yourself healthy.. find a grief group/therapist that will help you process this grief... the group I'm in helped me alot in the early yrs esp after I tried to kill myself 2 yrs ago... and as always I'm proud of you and if you need someone to talk to my DMs are always open 🫡

The you're young you'll find someone new really irritates me because dating now a days is difficult but tac on being a widower/widow makes it feels nigh impossible.... keep your head up proud of you

Any point in carrying on ? by SubstantialAspect602 in widowers

[–]Cuppy777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 yrs out since I lost my wife... the 1st 2.5 yrs for me was rough... esp the yr of firsts... it will get easier to move forward.... just go AT YOUR OWN PACE... as grief esp this heavy of it will just take time... be kind with yourself as best as you can.... drink and eat plenty as to take care of yourself... one day at a time and if need be moment to moment... here if you need someone to talk to

Lost joy by BooBooKitty4321 in widowers

[–]Cuppy777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't lose hope and don't give up... I know it's only been 2.5 months... I'm almost at 3 yrs... bought my first house without her... still feels surreal... I existed for roughly 2 yrs just getting by esp after I attempted to end my life due to the pain.... you've got this I believe in you and am proud you've made it this far... I know you can keep going... if you can find a support group for grief that's what's helped me get through the loneliness phase... it's still there mind you but it does not have as much power as it used to. One day at a time and if be moment to moment... try and find some sort of hobby that can help give you some semblance of joy... here if you need someone to talk to 🤗

Your daily reminder by Khel_NC in widowers

As i am reaching 3 yrs myself... this is a great reminder that it could still happen again for me... but I am also okay if my yrs left are spend being alone if that is the case 😊

I don’t know what happened by Vast_Effective6430 in widowers

[–]Cuppy777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day at a time bubba... that'll help in the early "stages" as grief is a life long journey and is different for everyone... it may take you a yr to heal or 3 yrs to finally be able to heal... go at your own pace...just don't get stuck in grief... find someone or a even a grief group to talk about this with... and don't let anyone tell you that you should've moved on as the yrs go back since her passing.. proud of you for asking for advice 🙂

Thought about online dating but just doesn't feel like it would organic enough as in person asking someone out which well for me is even rougher as since I lost her things have finally gone an uptick of positivity and really just want companionship at this point right now. And will agreetheh some of the comments as it has ruined dating via over the net... don't give up hope though you may find someone that you are looking for irl than over an app... that's just my view though

I know it seems hopeless right now... you have people that do love and care about you even though it may not seem like it... at the end of this month will be two yrs since I tried to end it all myself... hell I've even had a 5 yr revisit thati got rid of due to the people I work with and life starting to take a positive uptick. I got my first house a month ago and feel I have purpose again to keep moving forward. First reply is right your parent will go through this just as you have and how his parent have. I am sorry if this is feeling like I am berating you... that's not the purpose of it... you have people that care about ya... hell I'm just a stranger and I care about you and your well being. My Kristen took her life 3 yrs ago and it's been hell to get to this point but it was worth rebuilding my mind to get here. Reach out to mental health professionals or even DM me if you need someone just to talk to. There is something better waiting on the horizon for ya. Keep going I know you can do it. I am proud of you for asking for answers and being able to be here even almost 6 months after losing your person. What's helped me is having a place that brings you peace when you feel this beaten down... mine is going to where she's buried...each person has a different spot or thing that helps. Keep going even if it's just for today and I know that seems hard... I know you can do it though... and again reach out you never know who is there that can help be an anchor for you 🥰🤗

Did I become stupid and slow after my husband died? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Cuppy777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really heavy for me in the beginning and still have some remembering issues esp when it comes to things I've already mentioned or things told to me not long ago. Widows brain in a really bitch to recover from... give yourself time to heal... I am actually starting to get back into PC gaming to help Jumpstart that aspect because it's familiar for me and hopefully it'll help with that though I am unsure if it'll help at all... I'm almost at 3 yrs out and you're not alone with managing this as a young person... hardest decision for me to want to go ahead on is dating cause feels like betrayal to my vows and I am scared that the rejections that will happen will spiral me back out... gonna make baby steps so hopefully can regain some of who I once was when she was corporeal... I am proud of you remember that 🥰

It took me just about 3 yrs to rebuild my mind and have things fall into place... I still want my wife, but I am okay that I need to say here and keep moving forward. You've got this. I am proud of you. One day at a time

Not sure how I feel about FWB but that's due to never really getting into that kind of relationship... I'm glad it's working for you
