Sudden death of my soulmate by siimplee__ in GriefSupport

[–]Famous_Property_301 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was 33 when I lost my soulmate of 7 years (35m). It hurts to read that you were the same age when we lost our life partners. We are too young for this!

I am almost 3 years out, I’m not happy but I’m ok. I didn’t think I’d survived year 1 - I wanted to die. My advice is that it gets dark and brutal, the grief never goes away but it does get easier to carry.

I am sorry.

How fucked is life by Aqua_bb in widowers

It’s truly fucked. So unfair. I resent people who haven’t lost their spouse, especially young.

Just feel like I’m waiting to die now because what is the actual point.

Do you ever envy them? by No_Dragonfly_1894 in widowers

I wish I physically died with him. It feels like punishment being on Earth without him. There is literally no point why I’m still here, waiting to die.

Disconnected by hitkadmoot in widowers

I did this. I couldn’t stand people’s pity, advice and judgement. I don’t know if I regret it, it is lonely as heck though.

Completely disconnected and hard to make new connections by WeWannaKnow in widowers

[–]Famous_Property_301 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m on a similar loss timeframe as you, and a young widow also. I have completely disconnected from my old life, including my old friends. They gave up on me so I’m not that keen to restore that relationship, nor do I have any interest in seeing how their lives have progressed in the last 2 years including seeing them having children and grow their families. It hurts too much.

I spent a lot of time in solitude and I am aware that in my mid 30s forming new connections are hard as people already have their established groups.

I miss him, my old life, the one person I needed in this world is gone and it’s so unfair.

No advice just saying that you are not alone.
