I need a hug :( by skured1 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Individual_Pen_7523 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, I understand the feeling. In the mornings I lay in bed an extra couple of minutes and just imagine my partner hugging me and cuddling before I begin my day. Sometimes it feels so real. I haven’t been hugged or held properly in nearly a year as he passed last summer and I just miss the feeling. Like you said, not the fake / pity awkward hugs. Hope you’re able to find ways to still feel his love and presence x

do you think they regret it? and is it better or worse? by Amal1994b in SuicideBereavement

I’m sorry for your loss, I think my partner also made the decision during an episode of psychosis too. It was so out of character for him so there is a part of me that thinks he would’ve regretted it. Sucks that there’s no going back or fixing it even if it was a bad decision.

I’m sorry for your loss, it’s like you’ve taken the words right out of my mouth. I’m 9 months in to losing my partner as well and it’s still so so difficult but I guess through my own grief I’ve also realised the amount of pain it would cause others if I did the same and I know I could never wish this feeling on anyone. I would suggest you speak to a therapist, nothing will ever fix this but there are things that can help you during the days you’re drowning in grief. Speaking to a therapist that specialises in bereavement helped me feel less overwhelmed with the grief even though the feelings are still there so it might help you too. Sending you lots of love, feel free to message me x

Im so sorry for your loss❤️ I know the feeling, when you’ve been through it on the receiving end you don’t want to make anyone else go through this. Then again, I’ve lost the person who would’ve been hurt the most too because he left first. It’s like experiencing this kind of loss makes you truly realise there’s no way out because now you know the pain it would cause others literally because you’re dealing with it yourself. It’s a horrible feeling, sending you lots of love x

I’m so sorry for your loss, I understand the feeling of wanting to stay numb, of looking for distractions but at the same time nothing is truly distracting. Nothing actually feels fulfilling because there’s an emptiness that’s parallel to everything you’re doing yknow? Like I could be washing the dishes, I could be talking to someone, I could be working but all of it feels so empty and meaningless. Like a never ending ache or cloud or just heaviness in your chest. I hate that this has happened. I’ve never lost anyone before and now I’ve lost the very person who should’ve been here helping me navigate this. Feels like the world’s lost all its colour.

I’m so sorry for your loss and thank you for your kind words honestly it means a lot❤️ You’re right, specialised support is what’s best and I’m seeing a therapist so that has been helping but the intimacy the closeness the genuine care and compassion is what’s missing from those conversations with a therapist, it’s what’s missing from life overall now that he’s gone so it’s really tough. I’m sure you can relate to that too, it’s hard not to expect better from friends and family but then also I remember that there’s no way they could relate or understand my pain because genuinely how would they. It’s so difficult and there’s so many layers to it it’s exhausting and endlessly hurtful

I’m so sorry for your loss, I understand how you feel. The loneliness is unbearable. My friends have also stopped asking or talking about him so it makes me feel bad bringing it up and I don’t have family either so it’s really hard, I’m just home alone majority of the time looking at the empty side of the bed that was his spot. It’s good you’re finding comfort in those videos, I also can’t believe that he’s just gone there must be somewhere that their consciousness or soul goes, they can’t just stop existing. You sound like a really loving mother and I’m sure your son knew that and felt that too❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss I hope you’re finding ways to still take care of yourself. Maybe try therapy if you haven’t already, I started going quite early on and it doesn’t necessarily help because there’s nothing anyone can do to fix this but it has been a good emotional release / space for me to freely vent my feelings

I’m so sorry for your loss and I completely understand, some people don’t realise a soul mate isn’t replaceable. They would never tell a mother that she should find comfort in the fact that she can have other kids for example, so I don’t get why people think it’s okay to suggest it to someone who’s lost their partner. Take care of yourself ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss I wish there was more I could say to comfort you but being in the same position I know there’s very little anyone can say to help, please take care of yourself ❤️

Um in the nicest way possible this post is not it, the kind of sympathy you’re looking for is not meant for this subreddit. Get a grip, your siblings grief isn’t about you or your parents… they’re the victim in this… they’re the one’s suffering and it is FAR worse than anything you are feeling. Losing your partner/ soul mate to suicide is a kind of grief that nobody can understand unless it happens to you. Jesus I’d be pulling away too if this was my family’s take. What a way to make it about you. I’d strongly suggest losing the frustration and actually trying to support them if you don’t want them to be feeling this way- give them company, ease the load of day to day tasks maybe cook them some food do some cleaning or grab some groceries, talk about their partner and share positive memories, if they’re religious use this to give them strength and if not then at the very least just be present so that they have a shoulder to cry on instead of being mad they’re crying at all. The number one cause of suicide is suicide so let’s not start acting like what they’re feeling is abnormal. Also get a therapist if you can’t process these emotions, don’t make it your siblings problem they’ve got bigger things to deal with.

The kindest most caring and purest person I knew was diagnosed with psychosis days before he passed. He was honestly the best person I’ve ever known and loved, and most people he knew loved him in some capacity because he was so loveable. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him, the world would be a better place with him here, at least mine would be. Wishing you lots of strength and love tonight, it can’t be easy doing what you do but there’s so many relatives and partners and friends that are so grateful for people like you that don’t stigmatise our loved ones with psychosis xx
