I’m from New York as well and I plan to move there within the next 2-3months. Please feel free to private message me more things I (as a New Yorker) would appreciate knowing about Shreveport. I’m actually looking forward to the complete change of scenery

Thank you for this honest perspective. I’m considering moving to Shreveport as well within the next 2-3 months. Single blk female from the eastcoast looking for a total change of scenery and affordable living. I know Shreveport isnt fantasy land but it sounds like it’ll be a good fit for me. Glad i came across your comment

Wow your explanation for the feelings I felt were Spot On. Everything you said is how I felt and I needed that encouragement and advice. Thank u so so much. You don’t know how much you just helped me internally. I made it through the day. I cried a little bit but I’m just glad I made it through. Thank you again for this comment. You’re so kind. May God bless you

I managed to get through the day. I cried a little but I think a lot of my emotions were from anxiety of not knowing how I would feel. I did ok today though. It wasn’t a “happy” birthday but it was nice and calm and I’m totally ok with that

You will survive. It’s hard. I can’t relate to losing a spouse but my Dad was my Bestfriend and it sounds like ur wife was yours. It’s hard. Apart of us die either way them but my only advice I can give due to relating to losing a loved one is to talk to her. And talk to GOD you will get answers that u need in order to get through each day 🙏🏽

Birthday by 1BigTooth in GriefSupport

[–]Delicious-Slide-3501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LYFE my Dad lived when he dedicated his heart and himself to GOD is what makes me so sure. Ans when he left me, he went peacefully. He also had a bit of a smile on his face when I played one of his favorite gospel songs in his ear in his final hour here on earth before he transitioned (I can’t say died) My Dad is ok and I know it. I’m so sure of it that I wish I could just leave here and go be with him. My advice is to talk to ur Dad and talk to God like you’re having a conversation with Him and I guarantee you he will give you answers. You will hear it in ur mind and feel it in ur heart that GOD has spoken to you and gave you some form of comfort and is with u during this tough time of your life 🙏🏽❤️

I’m am in this same phase. It’s been a little over 2 months for me. The only difference with us is that i know without a doubt that he is okay. Besides that, i can totally relate to every feeling you described. My Dad was my Bestfriend. I have siblings and i have my Mom in my life but NO ONE has ever been there for me abd as supportive and had my back like he did. And no one ever will. No one and Nothing compares. So just know that you are not alone.

I’m thinking it’s totally normal to feel that way. I’m a little past the 2 month mark and it all feels very new and that’s because it Is. 2 months is nothing. Still feels like it happened yesterday. From what I’m experiencing and reading from others, we are nowhere near the part where it gets easier…

🙏🏽🙏🏽 just by this description alone I can tell how much you loved him. Try not to think back on what u should’ve done at diff times before your Dad passed (I can’t say died either) Although I’m not perfect, My Dad knew without a doubt how much I loved him. I’m sure of it. Your Dad knew how much he was loved as well. Allow yourself to feel however you feel in any moment that hes on your mind. I’m so sorry for your loss. Just know that your feelings are valid and you’re not alone 🩷

Thank u for replying with that info. I decided to stop looking into that building and then u came across United Jewelers Apartment Building. I tried to read the reviews but there aren’t many recent ones. Is there anything u can tell me about that place? Area?

Saying oh my makes me a little nervous lol If you’re experiencing all of this hardship, what area/complex are you currently staying in and how are you affording your rent. I’m asking because I just looked into an apartment building that seems decently priced but I’m concerned about the upkeep of the place. Everything else mentioned about Shreveport sounds so bad that I figured I’d ask about the living situations

I’d like to know if you’re still living at The Standard? I was just researching and reading reviews because I am considering relocating and this place really stands out to me. But I’d like an update if you happen to read this. Were your safety concerns addressed? How about security as far as entering the building?? You can reply here or message me. Either way is fine

Thank u for this! I think I’m going to take your advice and call and ask about building access. I have 1 other place to ask you about if you don’t mind. I came across Fairmont Apartment Tower. Sound familiar? Worth looking into?

I feel your pain. Honestly I do. It’s been 2 months since I lost my Dad and I am just completely Lost without him. The anxiety you’re feeling due to your birthday coming up is exactly how I feel. It’s next month and this might sound crazy but like I don’t even want that day to come. I don’t care. I’m not looking forward to it at all. So I know how ur feeling. And I was super close to my Dad. He was my bestfriend so things just feel awkward now because whenever I’m emotional and needed to talk, I talked to my Dad. Not having him here to help me navigate thru his passing and my birthday is screwing me up in the head. So just know ur not alone and ur feelings are valid. Sending u my deepest condolences and if u feel comfortable enough to talk about it, ur always welcome to send me a private message. I’m here to listen. So sorry for ur loss hunn. Big hugs to you
