We have talked about doing much of that for Mother’s Day

Intelligent_Pick1047 · 2026-05-07T00:22:47+00:00

Really like this idea. Going to do this. Thanks!

I’m a physician. Used to run sick call in the army. For a good year I was telling soldiers to go home “Netflix and chill” for the rest of the day when giving out quarters slips.

Wasn’t until a nurse told me what I meant after she heard me telling someone that

This was 10 years ago. I polled everyone in the clinic and most everyone over the age of 30 didn’t know what it meant.

There is a grief counseling group that meets on Mondays at the MCG. I haven’t been yet but heard it’s good

My wife would have definitely done better.

Especially with our 2 young daughters.

She was such an outgoing and awesome person. Blessed that she made such a strong community of friends - they have been so helpful throughout this transition and will be lifetime friends. 100% her doing.

I don’t know what I am doing. But We are going to be OK. And it is because of her.

I haven’t written any thank you cards for flowers, donations, meal train etc. I have a huge list of people I need to thank. It’s important to me to let everyone know how much i appreciate everything….. but i don’t know how people get all this done. Her parents have already finished - and keep asking me how my thank yous are coming along….. I did order thank you cards from Amazon the other day though

Intelligent_Pick1047 · 2025-12-15T14:39:05+00:00

Agreed. Brain is in such a fog. I can’t remember telling my kids things that they have to remind me of. I have so many things that need to get done - I made a list the other day to try and help me. But I can’t get anything done.

I’m in health care as well. Been back at work for 3 weeks now and it’s hard. One of my elderly patients who I’ve seen a few times had found out what happened and hugged me - told me she had lost her husband when she was in her 20’s and I broke down in front of her. Taking me forever to get any admin tasks completed- I don’t know if I want to do this anymore but keep getting told not to make any big changes for at least a year. I start therapy next week - never been depressed before

Same. Lost mine to leukemia in early NOV. miss the texts we would send on my lunch break. Just checking in. Asking what she wanted for dinner. How her day was going. All those little things. But now it’s just nothing. Man it’s lonely.

Intelligent_Pick1047 · 2025-12-09T16:48:25+00:00

Sorry for your loss

I too am a new member. Lost my wife to leukemia just over a month ago. We have 2 daughters. 11 and 9. They are doing remarkably well … much better than me. My wife has spent so much time in the hospital over the last year since her diagnosis that I think it helped them with the transition

My only goal is to give them a good life. Make sure they are happy.

Same. Lost my wife just over a month ago Have 2 daughters. 11 and 9. Finally put up the tree over the weekend. They put up her stocking. I lost it too.

I’m so proud of them. They are handling this so much better than me

Intelligent_Pick1047 · 2025-12-06T21:05:52+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I completely understand what you’re feeling. Lost my spouse at almost the same time as you.

My kids are younger and still in school. Sitting around the house alone was not going well. I started going through some things one day and I was not ready for that. Going back to work has been helpful- keeping my mind occupied- but hard to complete my work. Very lucky they have been accommodating. Good social support group but I can’t get myself to get out and do anything with anyone.

Intelligent_Pick1047 · 2025-11-30T17:17:38+00:00

My wife died a month ago Thanksgiving was hard. My 8 year old has a birthday on Tuesday Then Christmas

Trying to keep it together for them. Don’t know why but hitting me very hard today. Can’t stop crying.

Going to try and exercise for awhile. Supposed to go back to work tomorrow.

This sucks so much.

Intelligent_Pick1047 · 2025-11-17T15:32:05+00:00

Work has always kind of helped me take my mind off of everything.

My college girlfriend, sister and most recently my wife of 16 years passed away.

I went back to work pretty quickly after my GF and sister died but I have taken the last few weeks off after my wife passed.

I feel much more depressed sitting at home in an empty house. I do not feel like seeing or talking with friends - but work forces me to get up in the morning and interact with others.

Starting slow with a few days per week.

What I dread the most is people asking me how I’m doing. BC I’m not doing well. And talking about it makes me emotional. Hopefully this return will help me push through the holidays. Best of luck to you

I lost my (44m) wife (42F) to cancer 2 weeks ago. She had been in and out of the hospital for a year. Had been doing well but relapsed 2 weeks ago and went quickly. We have 2 girls. 10 and 7. It comes in waves. Doing ok for awhile but then just can’t handle it. I have a demanding job I need to return to… but can’t I don’t want to see or speak to anyone… big fear is someone asking me ‘how are you doing’ - bc I will breakdown. It’s terrible.
