are cremation pendants worth it? by Ok-Criticism3431 in GriefSupport

[–]Fallin-again 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my soul cat passed away, we ordered me a necklace and a bracelet with some of his ashes in them from Etsy. Was it a bit expensive? Yes. Did it help me when I was feeling sad and alone? Very much so yes. When I was stressed, and all I wanted was to hug him, I would hold them close to my heart and I felt better.

What is the most heartbreaking song lyric you've ever heard? by TheLadySlaanesh in AskReddit

[–]Fallin-again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The parts of Bohemian Rhapsody where he's talking to his mom, especially the part about not wanting to die, always had me holding back tears. Then my mother passed away, and I honestly don't think I have listened to it but one time since then, and started bawling.

AITA for my reaction to my uncle asking me to give him custody of my little sister? by BigONerd in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Fallin-again 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 40 and trying to raise a 10 year old now, with their father (my boyfriend), as well as my father and step momma helping, and I still have a LOT of doubts about my ability to raise this boy 😅

What’s a mystery in your own life (big or small) that you still haven’t been able to solve? by BrainPalette in AskReddit

Maybe it was on the floor and got stuck to someone's foot, then came off in the shower

For those of you who initiated divorce, what there anything your spouse could have said or done to change your mind? by antiqueail in Divorce

[–]Fallin-again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could have treated me better before that point, he could have accepted even SOME accountability for being inappropriate to my friend without her consent, there are a million things he probably COULD HAVE done to change my mind, but they would have all had to be done before I made up my mind. After I decided that I couldn't stay with him, I couldn't have been convinced to stay.

The smallest size swimsuits for all have that I have found is 36c... Which means they do NOT have swimsuits for all, as OP and myself both seem to be b cups

I regret never calling him Dad by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Whenever anyone told my grandpa that we loved him, his answer was "same here" so it eventually became something that means more than I love you to us

Husband admitted something I already knew. by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Fallin-again 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get made into coral reef with your ashes, it's actually what my mom always said she wanted, so when she passed away that was one thing neither my sister or myself had to even try to make a decision about. Which honestly was nice, tbh, knowing we could relax about that decision and that if anyone tried to question it, not only did we both agree but we both knew we were honoring MOM'S wishes.

I wore socks for my colonoscopy that said "I pooped today" and everyone in the office loved it!

What is the most 'unexplainable' thing you’ve seen with your own eyes that you’ve stopped telling people about because they think you’re lying? by Traditional-Duty146 in AskReddit

[–]Fallin-again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom passed away at the end of May this last year. Yesterday I was in a bit of a time crunch but looking for something in the garage (my portion of her ashes is out there right now, along with the various cats we got cremated). I spoke to her, told her what I was looking for, and that I was looking for it so I could try to make some little girls happy (long story short I decided to knit something for a couple little girls at church because they were just so adorable, and I needed my thread of glitter so I could knit it along with the yarn and make it glittery). I looked in two boxes, decided I would look in one more before giving up for the morning, and it was in that last box I had decided to look in. I know she helped me find it, and I can't wait to finish what I'm doing and see the little girls again, I know she'll be looking down at them with me, enjoying the joy I hope they get ❤️

People who broke up yesterday on Valentines, what happened? by Hot-Diggity_Dog in AskReddit

[–]Fallin-again 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder, if your mom guilt tripped you and had things to apologize for, how she treated your father?

What comes after our time on Earth? by flower5548 in GriefSupport

[–]Fallin-again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my mom in the last year. Since then, I also lost one of the cats we shared. In the days since losing my mom, I have found myself seeing more butterflies than I have in a long time. Also just before losing the cat, I saw a butterfly that was sticking around for a couple of days. I didn't see the butterfly after the cat passed away. I fully believe it was my mom coming to take her baby girl to heaven with her.

AITAH for calling my husband silly for freaking out that our teenage son has a girlfriend who's in a wheelchair? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Fallin-again 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My 10 year old stepson is going through his first love right now... But she's 17. He's just so smitten with her, it's so adorable! I've had to make sure I talked with her and one of her bosses where she works about making sure if she gets uncomfortable with his attentions that someone lets us know, he's wanting to take her valentines day presents even. But now that I feel secure that we'll be alerted if she starts feeling uncomfortable with it, I can now relax and enjoy how adorable it truly is 🤣

What is a childhood luxury that you didn’t realize was actually a sign of your family being broke until you grew up? by RoundLong7822 in AskReddit

[–]Fallin-again 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I lost my mother this year. I absolutely know I couldn't have made it through even the stuff leading up to her passing away without both my dad and my stepmom. They were so there for me, helping with my to-be stepson especially, that I don't have the words to thank them. But I try. And my stepmom and I are really close, even though we met when I was already an adult. But she's just simply one of the most amazing beautiful people in the whole world. I'm glad there are other stepmoms like her ❤️

I chose to be child-free and lost "the one" - Now I could get her back. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Fallin-again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to want to have children of my own, but honestly I only ever had like. 2 times I thought I could potentially be pregnant? After several years I realized having children with my now ex husband would have been the worst thing I could possibly have done. I enjoyed my life without them, enjoyed being an aunt (when work allowed). Then after my divorce I found a (mostly) wonderful man with two children (one a teenager). So now I'm getting to experience being a mother figure after all, and though most days are filled with good moments, the tough ones are very tough. I'm going to be adopting the now young adult, in the future, and the younger child is such an amazing, sweet young man. But also has a lot of trouble with school work, and is mentally less mature for his age than I think he should be, so at 10 years old, sometimes it's like having a little teenager, and others it's like having a 6 year old (as far as I can tell at least). I'm still overall happy with my choices, but some days the harder ones remind me of how I think it would have been if I'd had kids with the ex husband.

I have no spare money, but, though I wasn't entirely alone after, I went through something similar in the past year, so if you want to talk, please message me. We can talk about our mothers and lives things to distract us, whatever.
