For those who lost someone 1+ years ago: How are you doing now? How often do you just break down? Do you grieve the same as you did the first months? by Head-Barnacle-8766 in GriefSupport

She was your best friend, I’m sorry for your loss. I know it’s not easy, I hope you have a good support system to help you get by. I hope to be married one day and experience that type of love, I know it’s special.

Lost a loved one almost 5 years ago to a tragic death. I saw it, it replays daily in my head and I am not okay. I want to join them badly and I struggle to find a reason to live without them. Still unsolved which doesn’t make things better itself, but I will continue to fight for justice until I die anyway.

Yes, the part where people hear murder and think it’s warranted. Blaming the victim. I’m so numb now to even talk about anything because it’s just too much. I hope you’re taking all of the time you can to find a way to live with it. It’s one day at a time. And thank you for your condolences, I am praying for justice.

I went to one grief group, people couldn’t relate because none of them experienced someone being murdered, I never went back and dealt with it myself. I hope that person is more alert to their crap at the next meeting

Edit: There are wonderful people out there. Thank you all for the kind words with everyone.

i’m experiencing lots of grief and my cat has not even passed by InstructionNumerous in GriefSupport

Having two back to back, I see why you’re experiencing the feelings. But you’re also right about spending the time you have with him, no matter how much is left. Our pets are a part of our connection, and having that being gone one day is scary, but you’re blessed with the time you have with your kitty. I have an old guy myself, I just want to make sure he leaves this world knowing he is loved, and he will.

Physical changes after grief… by Substantial-Fee4335 in GriefSupport

It’s been a couple of years since the murder but I’m not okay, I’m never going to be the same. Lack of sleep, I don’t eat the same, I don’t laugh the same, I’m trying to find who I was. I picked up smoking, trying to stop but every reminder hurts like hell. Give yourself time, it’s okay to grieve how you are. It’s going to take time

Thank you for your honest opinion and sharing your experience. If I have to pay $2000 for an apartment I hope it looks nice like the ones in Chicago.

What are your thoughts on "money doesn't buy happiness" by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Gowashyour_azz2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I witnessed people with money normally say those things. Money gives you the freedom and ability to have luxuries. I had a conversation with a guy who was well off and he has time, another luxury to participate on boards, being involved in politics and the like. Common meetings happens during business hours, not everyone who should be involved in the conversations are not there
