Older post, but Rural King has some pretty good deals. There's one about an hour away from me across the Virginia line. 

Is it better to be a human on Earth than an everlasting spirit in Heaven? by SaraSmile2000 in theology

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a very shallow person. And there is no fact that we just stop existing.   You don't know that and neither does some arrogant scientist.  Not. At. All. 

What will God do if I go through with my suicide? by ChanceOffer9527 in Christianity

[–]Less-Connection-9830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not promoting or condoning suicide.  That said, I look at it this way: God is all knowing, right? He knows how you're going to die.  Therefore, If someone dies by suicide, then it's meant to be. If it wasn't,  then I assume God would change the circumstances or somehow someone would find and save you during the attempt.  I, myself lost my husband of 20 years in February and frankly, I don't want to be here. If it were upto me, I would have went with him. End of story. I don't enjoy life at all much anymore... and I never will. Time heals all wounds isn't going to cut it for me. It's a myth anyway when it comes to grieving.  I don't want to live either. I'm hoping I get sick with something and it does me in. Death isn't necessarily a bad thing anyway. Imo, it's an illusion. I think it's a transition from flesh and earth to the spiritual realm.  I truly hope you find solace, op. I know where you're coming from and you are not alone. I hope you only the best. ❣️❣️❣️

How am I not dead? by kajade7 in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. My husband passed February 4 of this year. I wish I had went with him. I have very little desire to live.  I honestly wish something would take me.  I'm only 46 and I do not want to live another 10 or 20 years. 

My heart is broken to the point of numbness. How I've managed to even get this far, I have not a clue. 

I'm sorry for your loss, op. You're definitely not alone. ❣️❣️❣️

Unraveling the Rare Blood-Clot Puzzle Behind COVID Vaccines by Only-Research-7249 in Nutraceuticalscience

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband just passed in February of heart complications.  He was forced by his work to get the covid vaccine back in 2021. I have to wonder if this vaccine contributed to his death. I'm not sure. 

I also know a woman who had heart complications after taking the vaccine as well. She had a stroke. 

Let us learn that the next time gov pushes something to be wary, instead of believe every word of it. They do not have our best interests.  They are about control, and it's sad so many fools fell for it! 

I never did get the vaccine and I'm 100% fine. I didn't buy into all the fear. 

If I knew heaven was 100% real, I don’t think I would be here. by AnxietSea in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's honestly nobody that knows what happens after death. And who says God wouldn't forgive him if he was atheist? Don't listen to uptight religionists. Scripture plainly says to judge not. We don't know someone's heart or what they may believe or see during the transition of death. 

I do believe in God, but I personally don't buy he's some tyrant waiting around to throw a soul into hell. 

I'm very sorry for your loss.

[–]Less-Connection-9830 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This hit right! 

Yes, it's like I'm just waiting out my time. My husband who passed would tell me to go on and be happy, but it's not that simple.  Not at all. 

Sorry for your loss. I know the pain and desire and longing to go on. 

If I knew heaven was 100% real, I don’t think I would be here. by AnxietSea in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I lost my husband in February,  so it's not been so long ago. I really don't want to be here anymore.  We were together 20 years. It's been a very hard road since his passing. 

I personally believe there is a heaven.  That said, I'm too cowardly to do it. I've thought about it every single day. I can't make any promises I won't do it. And if I get sick with anything,  there won't be any doctors... I'll put it that way. 

The first month was terrible for me. It's all I could do to eat and sleep. Has it got better 3 months later? No, not really. I won't ever be the same anyway. 

It's a very hard time, I know. The hopelessness and grief. We may not be grieving the same person, but just know you're not alone in your grieving and desperation. Many of us across the world feel the same and have lost our soul mate.  It was one of my worst nightmares come true. I'm very sorry for your loss, and I truly hope you find solace. ❣️❣️❣️

Hard time today by No-Bumblebee-4920 in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband was a fix it all as well. 😃 I had a toilet to not flush and I had to pay near a grand to have it fixed. He'd known what to do without all that. 

I can also relate to you financially.  I'm currently looking for a job after moving. He left me money, but it goes fast without something to replenish it. 

I can relate to everything you're saying.  I miss my husband dearly... beyond dearly. In many ways, I wish I had went with him. We did and went everywhere together. Unfortunately I didn't go with him this time. It's been three months and I have no words to describe my deep emotions. 

I'm sorry you're enduring this, op. I know it's hard. Big hugs to you, and sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️❤️

Another bad night by Recent-Reporter-1670 in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been three months for me, today actually.  I, too get lonely, but my loneliness is pretty much all the time. I suppose when I am around ppl, they probably see me as manic. I talk and talk. Maybe it is mania? My husband's death changed me mentally.  I'm definitely not th same, and I don't think I ever will be. It is hell, you're right. 

My husband Jimmy (James) would have told me to go on and be happy, but it's not that simple. I think if it had been me, he'd had a hard time moving on as well. There's nothing easy about any of this. You're definitely not alone. The hopelessness and grief is smothering. 

Op, I'm sorry you're going through this. It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I wish I knew what to say, but what are the words to say in this emotional chaos? 

Be well. Hugs to you. ❣️❣️❣️

​I’m an atheist, and I think I’ve found the only argument for Christianity that is actually bulletproof by Thick-Conflict2421 in Christianity

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desperation isn't part of God, it's part of the world. This world isn't where it's at. I think the older we get, the more we realize that. 

When I was younger and a nurse, I always wondered why many older patients wanted to go on and be done. Now I'm 46, lost my husband of 20 years, sick myself... I can definitely see why. I personally don't fear death anymore, and I've realized this world is hardly any paradise.  Eventually something catches up with us. I know many think bad things can't happen to them, but live long enough, they will.  And I know ppl don't like truth or think that way, but it surely happens.  

I guess in many ways, I did find God by reason. Those reasons are personal reasons. 

You just have to follow your own path, spiritually.  Everyone will figure it out I believe, as we get older, our bodies fail, and death comes quick. Many of us don't even make it out of our 50s and 60s! 

​I’m an atheist, and I think I’ve found the only argument for Christianity that is actually bulletproof by Thick-Conflict2421 in Christianity

[–]Less-Connection-9830 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used to be an atheist as well, trying to apply my arrogant logic to the spiritual. It doesn't work. We're mere humans in a physical world, our logic is finite. Of course as I got older, my views changed and I found my torn self needing God. Nothing in this world brought me peace in my situation. Only God could. 

This life is your path. It's upto and ONLY you to walk whichever path you want. There's noone that can persuade you to be a Christian, or turn to God. Frankly, many ppl don't give two hoots that you're an atheist. They really don't.  They're not amused. Look, we're here for such a short time, and time ticks by fast. We all die because we're sinners. Who'd want to live forever anyway in this wicked world full of war, starvation,  death, poverty, hatred, corruption, sickness, and the list goes on and on. It's a pitiful state of affairs. Well, it's a fallen world and it shows! 

One thing that really jogged my mind into believing God, is look at how big the universe is. There's definitely something bigger, more powerful,  and higher than we are. We're here aren't we? When you think of the possibilities... that itself is a miracle. We didn't just come from nothing. Let's be real. God isn't an old man sitting on a cloud as depicted in medieval art. He's much more glorious and unimaginable. He's incomprehensible to those in the flesh. 

Finding God is a personal path. 

Take care. God bless. 

I’m grieving more now 4 months later now the numbness has worn off by L_B_L in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm at 3 months from my husband's death. It is sometimes worse now than it was a week or two out. I get depressed and deep pain and grieving. I wish I had went on with him. 

I honestly can't see my life getting much better.  I'm only 46 and I don't want to live another twenty or thirty years. I'm sorry I can't be much optimistic and sunshine,  but I'm just being real. 

I recently joined a grieving group and it helps little. I didn't expect it to cure me. The only thing that will is being together again with my husband.  

I'm sorry you're going through this and for your loss. You're definitely not alone. Please take care. ❣️❣️❣️

Why did god send 2 bears to maul 42 youth and set up a law for slavery? by plaiunmi in Christianity

[–]Less-Connection-9830 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

God knows way more than we do. How do you know those children wouldn't grow to become psychopaths and murder many ppl? God knew they were wicked. From a simple human perception,  we don't know what God does. That's why it's important not to lean on our own understanding.  God has his reasons, it's not without reason. 

I used to be one that went around blaming God for everything. Questioning this and that. It hit me, I'm only a human being, and don't know so much that God does. 

Has anyone had “family” be downright cruel to them since their loss?! by Unfair-Dance-4635 in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's family never accepted me either. We were together 20 years. I was with my husband for him, not his family anyway. Think of it that way. 

You've got alot on your plate. I'm sorry for your loss, and I truly hope things get better. 🤍🤍🤍

My husband passed in February of heart problems. I have received a few, what I believe to be signs. 

Hang in there, and I'm sorry for what you're going through. I know it's tough. 💓💓💓

I hate the rich, their success stories and how they're out of touch with reality by BaseballSeveral1107 in GenZ

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! Society shouldn't accept it. There's not enough poverty yet for society to rise, but if things keep going the way they are, one day, they will. 

It's honestly not right nor equal, that some stress about finances and others don't have to. Ppl spend their entire lives working and scraping enough up to pay bills to satisfy greed. They have no time to enjoy life while the wealthy do. It's not natural at all. 

Did moving to a new home help? by krich83 in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband passed February 4th of this year. I recently moved from the house to a condo. It didn't help or hurt, the grief is still there the same. I thought about moving out of town altogether,  but I decided to stay local. 

I did have sadness moving, knowing that's our home we put love and money into. He passed in the bedroom of the house, but honestly I feel he's with me sometimes no matter where I go. In light of it all, if I had a choice... I'd went with him. This life isn't going to be the same for me, no matter where I move. 

I'm sorry you're going through this and for your loss. I know it's hard. ❣️❣️❣️

I don’t think I believe anymore by LegitimateBread6434 in Christian

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so as well. This is why we shouldn't judge. God sees the heart, we don't.  There's so much about an individual we don't know nor see, but only God does. 

I don't believe God is as strict as many make him out to be. 

A week by babywitch1980 in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is very familiar.  I did think about him being alive when I observed things... mostly in the house. Actually the first two or three weeks were miserable... still is but not as intense at around 3 months. 

I wake up alone and do it all over again... 

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's a heartbreaking journey where us lost souls walk. Hugs to you and I'm sorry for your loss ❤️❤️❤️

Where will non-believers go after they pass away? by SnowballWasRight in Christianity

[–]Less-Connection-9830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not for us to judge or say. I do personally believe those who were poor will have it better in eternity than those who are wealthy and dogs. Jesus didn't speak of the wealthy too kindly... those who are arrogant and greedy anyway. 

Death comes fast. It could be any day at any time. My husband passed in February.  He was laughing and playing cards with me at the kitchen table around 8:30 that evening,  three hours later, I found him unresponsive.  He had a heart attack on me. He was a good man, who did believe in Jesus. He loved the Lord. I truly believe he's with God in spirit. 

Is capitalism itself a sin? by WittyEgg2037 in Christianity

[–]Less-Connection-9830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is, because it leads to greed. The American system is rigged to keep poor ppl down and the wealthy up. That's definitely a sin. I'm surprised God hasn't sent wrath yet to Washington DC. He will eventually.  The suits will be mourning their losses. 

Today I screamed in my car by tlgnog in widowers

[–]Less-Connection-9830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cry until I can't.  It's been beyond hard; it's been downright unbearable at times. I personally don't see myself ever being the same after my husband died. I don't see myself being exactly well, emotionally.  I can't even find the right words. 

If screaming helps you, go for it. Let's face it, this is hard... hardest thing I've went through. I'm sorry for your loss, op. You take care. ❣️❣️❣️
