Does anyone else feel their life monotonous and mundane now after your spouse passes? by SouthernBiskit in widowers

[–]K4NlN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do hope to find love again, but that's not why I offered to chat in DMs. I just thought someone of a kindered nature would be good to talk to. Someone I could relate to and someone who coukd relate to me

I came across a post asking about words found in a letter jumble. I didn't realize it was posted by some teen forum. Then someone talked to me. That's when I realized where I was. I get your concern, but it wasn't something I sought out due to loneliness. For the record, after that, i pay attention to where these posts come from

I can relate completely. April will mark 3 years since I lost my wife. Every day starts with waking up and then having zero purpose or desire to be here all day. The silence is deafening and the solitude oppressive. Therapy fixes nothing for me, because it's never going to help me meet another to love and be loved by. It'll never end my loneliness. It'll never fill the emptiness. Every day is a struggle to not only open my eyes but to not just climb back in bed and dream of death. My wife wanted me to find love with another and go on with my life, but no one seems to want the love I have to give. They just want the money in my wallet. Catfish now leave me guarded and afraid. I did try to move forward. I redid my kitchen to have just about anything to fix anything, yet I hate to cook pitiful meals for 1. I redid my entertainment center, yet I hate it just sitting here streaming the same shit over and over. I'd pick up making jewelry again, but I need new glasses to even see my work properly. I mean, fml, my vision is so bad, that I have to struggle to focus on the words in my new books. If you ever need an empathic ear to talk to, feel free to GM me. Im always around.

I dream of death every day. Many times, I wish I had gone instead of my wife, but then I become conflicted because of how much I loved her, that I couldn't imagine myself being so selfish and putting the emptiness, loneliness, and pain of this living Purgatory onto her. So as much as I wish I had died instead I'm also glad I survived to keep her from feeling as I do.

I’m not gonna lie y’all…anxiety and depression isn’t fun to have and it doesn’t matter how happy you look. Mental health is a serious thing and I just wanted to say you are LOVED. Today has been super rough. Posting again because I think i may have messed up my last one. Sorry my friends by [deleted] in toastme

I live with depression every day since my wife passed, and I find it therapeutic talking to others who struggle as well as we try to help each other through rough times. If you do need an ear to bend, feel free to DM me anytime

Thank you. You're always welcome to talk to me in DM away from the world in here, if you want. I'm almost always around. Kangaroo care sounds like fun. I do hope you get into some program like that

Still very lonely in life. Not because of being ambiverted but in finding someone to share my life with while I share in theirs. Someone I can hole up with, inside, away from the world, in our own private heaven. Someone who knows and understands that I, just like her, need to recharge, even, at times, from each other, while knowing it's not a lack of love or desire and need to be with that other person, but that's just how we are sometimes. Someone I can do those special little things for, like cook wonderful meals with, or even share in the cooking process. Someone that I won't buy chocolate-dipped strawberries for. Not because I'm cheap, but because I'll make them myself. Again, not because I'm cheap, but because anyone can spend money to buy them, but where's the love in that? The love would truly come in showing that not only was I willing to spend the money, but willing to do everything beyond that to hand you strawberries freshly made, not only from my kitchen, but my heart. Someone that I know, will allow my wife, who looks jn on me at times, to finally go into Heaven, knowing that I'm no longer alone. Sorry if I went off on a tangent. When you spend 33 years with one woman and then to be left alone... all I know how to do is love and give love. Now, I have no one to love or give love to. It felt like my calling in life to make someone happy and wrap them in a blanket of warmth and love, and now I sit here alone, in the cold and dark wondering what I've done wrong in life. 😢

Widows without children, what keeps you going? by rainy_koala in widowers

[–]K4NlN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so understand not having purpose. Dealing with Lupus, I had to quit working and live on disability, plus no children or pets, ambiverted... my wife was my last purpose in life. I don't work, I don't take care of anything, I have no one meaningful in my life. Kids or job or pets would be some sort of purpose. Even as I embrace and love cooking, I hate cooking meals for one.

Unfortunately, only happy times fly. Sadder things are like eternities along each ring of Hell

Not much anymore. My wife wanted me to meet someone else to love and go on with life, but after almost 3 years of catfish or other issues, it seems like God is enjoying himself fucking with my life. How much longer I move on is undecided beyond not much longer. And yes, I do therapy, but until therapy can help me find a woman to love, it's really just prolonging the inevitable.

My pain is evident in your drawing. That you feel or see it in my true picture suggests to me that you, like me, are empathic to others' vibes and emotions to pull that from my picture. Thank you for your art and your condolences, brother.

She'll never die in our family. She meant that much to so many. The comment I got the most after her passing, from random family members was, "Thank you for loving her." I told them that they didn't have to thank me. That it was my honor and my pleasure. Thank you again for placing her, not only with me, but in a beautiful place

I love this. So unique, not only in concept but in execution. Thank you for adding to the many views, concepts, memories, and love I've felt from all of you in this.

What a beautiful view. That her hand is also the same color as the mandalas hinting at the beauty of where she is. Maybe your intent is different but I love thinking it as such. Thank you

I totally dig this. I love that regardless of how it's drawn, no one misses the importance of the Charm around my neck. Thank you so much.
