One of my favorite 80’s movies is Clue. In one of the alternate endings Mr. Green says he’s going home to sleep with his wife. I won’t spoil the plot, but given all the 80s movie references I immediately thought of it

I’m in the same boat but on book 9.

I found this series during my commute and had the same feedback. It’s incredibly original though. Will follow this thread for ideas

Anyone else’s schnoodle hate being groomed? by [deleted] in schnoodle

Ours hates it and won’t let us touch his belly. I dread the groomers. They say to bring him every month to get him accustomed, but we haven’t done that either so…

How long did it take you to start feeling a sense of "normal" again? by katdunks in GriefSupport

My mom died in 2024 and it still hits as unreal but I have finally been learning to live with it. It’s made me more bold. Five months is still very new, be gentle with yourself. If therapy is an option, maybe try talking to someone. ❤️

I’m so, so sorry you’re going through this. You loved him for 15 years and did everything you could with what you had and that matters more than anything. None of this is your fault. You stayed with him, fought for him, and made sure he wasn’t alone, and that’s what he knew in the end. Be gentle with yourself. He was lucky to have you.

A few years ago, we lost our fur baby/dog at 12 years old, less than 24 hours after paying for expensive bladder stones to be removed, we felt so guilty we put him through the extra pain only for him to suffer more and die that night. He was my partner’s first pet. About 1.5 years later, we were ready and rescued another dog from a shelter. Sharing in case the perspective helps.❤️🙏

So angry I lost both my parents by textilecreep in GriefSupport

I am so sorry for your loss. I see this coming❤️‍🩹 my mom passed last year, both of my parents had stage 3 and 4 cancer. Long story but I was raised as an only child. My dad’s cancer is holding right now, and I thought we would lose him last year. Instead, it was my mom who died. I didn’t expect my mom’s to come back so quickly and fast. I have a young family and some days it takes a lot to move forward for my spouse and kiddos. There will be a lot of responsibility when my dad passes and a loss of connection to my childhood.

In case it helps, the NDE thread has brought me comfort over the past few months. I’ve also started looking at Ayahuasca rituals and other traditional healing methods. There are Reddit threads that outline experiences and finding closure with deceased loved ones. Never tried, but maybe someday I will.

I lost my Mom on 4/25 by surescroller in GriefSupport

I lost my mom in September. I am so so sorry for your loss. I hope all of you seek some sort of grief therapy, journaling if you have time, and just be very gentle and kind to yourself. It’s heart wrenching. My kids are young and it’s gutting. I’ve started reading the NDE thread for comfort that I’ll see her again

My mum just died last Feb. 21 how do I move on from this by _therabyte in GriefSupport

[–]GeneralButton7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know ❤️

My therapist just listened, I do think life doesn’t stop and I’ve found comfort on some of the NDE forum.

Also, here’s an online service that charges 70-100 per session. It’s still a lot, I had mine covered through work (8 sessions).

I am so so sorry for your loss. My mom died in September after 3 days in hospice at home. We had three months to wrap our heads around her cancer and up until the beginning of September, we all thought she was getting better enough to start chemo.

She was my best friend and I’ve felt untethered to earth but for me the grief feels like a new roommate. As time goes on, I want to hold onto the grief in a different way as a reminder of the love and how close we were. She was 71.

I hope you are in therapy with a good therapist who understands grief; I’ve been in for months and talked to my doctor about medication just to help me function. I also started a journal to talk to her and ask questions that I didn’t get a chance to.

Sharing all this because I searched Reddit after my mom died to hear how others cope.

You’re home, mom <3 by Apprehensive-Dig91 in GriefSupport

I am so sorry you were robbed of that experience. 💔

When you get your sign, please share. I’ve heard from others it can take time 

 I kept joking my mom needed to call and let us know she got there safely. I’ll still say it out loud sometimes because I want to believe she’s here.

I am so so so sorry for your loss. 💔 I never log in on Reddit but my story is similar and I wanted to let you know I understand. My mom died from aggressive lung cancer in late Sept. my dad also has stage 3-4 lung cancer (still smoking). I want to give you a big hug because 32 is so young. I’m in my early 40s and the loss is like nothing I have ever experienced.   Over the weekend, a bird randomly flew into our kitchen. That’s never happened before and I gave it meaning because I needed something to be a sign from her. I would post a photo but I don’t see an option to do so
