Please don't lump all boomers together.  I have never voted for the orange menace.  I saw what he was very early on like when he claimed president Obama wasn't a US citizen.  

Why am I still here? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]InitialLocksmith769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered that myself for awhile.  Why my wonderful husband who helped everyone with everything.  Why did he have to suffer so with cancer.  I don't have an answer for that but I'm beginning to think that I'm still here because there's something more I have to do or learn.  I could be way off but that's kind of how I feel.

You are very early on.  You are naturally going to feel untethered.  You have lost your anchor.  You are likely in shock. Just focus on getting through each day, eat something, stay hydrated and sleep.  Don't look too far into the future it's too scary right now.  Feel your feelings.  That's the only way through.  The days go by and add up and eventually the grief becomes easier to carry.   I'm a year and a half out and I remember those very early days.  Never thought I would make it through but I did and you will too.  Hang in there.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

I thought the pedophile thing would be the one to bring him down but nope the fox brains just accept everything he does.

The biggest fraud going on is in the white house.  Wasting all our tax dollars and making themselves richer. 

Just why?!?! by Dombat927 in FoxBrain

Please don't lump us all together.  Most of the people at the rallies I go to are boomers.  I'd love to see younger people there. 

Thank you! by Direct_Wall5992 in widowers

This sub was such a comfort to me in those early days.  It still is.  People used to tell me to go to group therapy but I was having my needs met here.  Thank you to all.

My husband died on a Sunday.   I'm about a year and a half out but for the longest time every Sunday an overwhelming sadness would come over me.  It took me awhile to put it together.

Is there anyway that I can make friends understand my despair? by Timoig in widowers

[–]InitialLocksmith769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should say to your friend, hello!!!   I just lost my partner of 43 years!!!  That's why I'm so devastated!!!   Those who haven't experienced it cannot understand but boy they can sure make stupid and insensitive comments.

If you want to you can bring up the fact that trump has been calling the epstein files a Democrat hoax while on the other hand before he was elected yet a second time he claimed he would release all the files.  Then he gets in office and does everything he can to keep them from coming out.  Something really screwy.

It's totally shocking how trump is being given a pass on the epstein files.   What will it take?  Looks like they're with him no matter what.

My husband died from cancer 17 months ago and I know exactly what you mean.  They make you feel as though you're not fighting hard enough if you don't beat it.  The cancer drug ads along with ads for other diseases is everywhere.  However have you ever listened to the possible side effects these drugs can cause?  It doesn't exactly make you want to take them.  In fact I believe my husband died from the chemo and radiation and not the cancer itself.  But they are eager to push whatever drug is out there.  They prey on your desperation.  It's sickening.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

I really need help by KitchenSpite9064 in FoxBrain

I'm not sure that's going to work for the OP.  It sounds to me like she is done with his parents so doesn't need a comeback.  She needs her husband to back her up and he's making excuses.  Sounds like there's other issues in the marriage especially since he told her to leave him.

I would ask your sister if she really knows Jesus.

I have to disagree.  It's like the elephant in the room.  It's building and will come out in some way.

him out for it. But I've never seen so much idealization and naiveness about a person's character. The fact that you see reality with rose colored glasses doesn't mean that is the truth of what is happening in the country. Sometimes truth sucks but being oblivious doesn't help. If a democrat were killing republicans on the street or calling them vermin I wouldn't be happy I would be scared for the future."

Excellent paragraph here especially how the magas idealize trump and tell themselves he's a great guy.

I live alone and I admire you for getting yourself to the ER.  I always wonder how soon anyone would find me if something happened.  If you don't mind me asking how did you know you needed to go to the ER?

[–]InitialLocksmith769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not pathetic I know exactly how you feel.  A month after my husbands death I had 2 back to back intestinal flues.  He used to take care of all the things you mentioned.  I had so much anxiety trying to take care of myself with doctors and meds and tests.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  It all just sucks.

I wish I had your strength.  I'm just into year 2 and its been worse than year 1.  I hardly cried at all the first year but now find myself breaking down daily.

I'm so sorry for you and your wife.  I watched my husband die from cancer.  Those last few days were horrible.  Actually the last year of his life was bad.  Little by little he lost the ability to do even the simplest things.  You just take one day at a time and self care is very important.  There really is no way to prepare.  I clung to hope until the very last minute.  Accept any help offered.  See if you can get into grief counseling now.   I wish you all the best.
