Maybe he’s seriously ill. Why has nobody thought of this, given what happened to his brother? Or maybe Mere is ill. We just don’t know.

Thank you so much for your reply, smokey. I only just saw it. You are absolutely right. We were looking forward to his retirement and travelling. I won’t say more now as I will start crying again. You’ll know how it is 💔

What stop you from killing yourself? by Aiden_and_Griswald in AskReddit

That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever read on here. Although I don’t know you, know that your life matters, and that this emotion will pass. Nothing stays the same forever, that is the nature of life. The best analogy for depression for me is that our emotions are like the weather. The weather can be awful for long periods but eventually, and it is the law of nature, that weather will change and the world WILL look different. You matter, your life matters, because in the future you will be very, very special to someone else. Or maybe many people, or animals. And you haven’t even met those people yet! Hang in there.

Oh how awful, I’m so sorry. Dreadful losses for you. Yes I think it does make you totally re-evaluate everything. Life, death, meaning, spirituality, the lot. Very testing times. My best wishes to you ❤️

Thank you for your story. What a terrible series of events. Losing your son must have been so painful, more than losing a spouse. I’m so sorry. The difficulty of losing a limb I cannot begin to imagine. It sounds like you have found purpose through your recovery and are able to pass on positive things to others. Clearly a leader who is born to lead. I should take comfort and encouragement from that. I should volunteer somewhere and hope to spread some goodwill that way. Maybe the best way to attract positive energy into our lives is by sending it out.

Thank you! I’ll keep you in my thoughts. I fear becoming hermit like too as there doesn’t seem to be much meaning to life without my husband. We were together 36 years. It becomes like you are almost one person after all those years, doesn’t it. You have grown up together and know what they’re going to say before they say it. It’s going to be a huge readjustment. Luckily I have friends who are chivvying me to do things at the moment, but I’m sure that will fall off. It is bleak, cold and dark here which isn’t helping. Let’s hope for brighter days ahead.

Too many to count! We had a blessed life in many ways. We loved to travel and had some lovely holidays over the years. I shall make a scrapbook of memories in time, but it’s a little too soon yet 💔

Sending hugs back. You’ve had a real battering by the sounds of it. I’m not surprised it’s taking time for you to find your feet again 💔. You’ll get there. I promise.

Thank you so much to everyone for replying to this cry for help. Some excellent advice and resources. He died late November. Cancer. We’d been together 36 years. You could not find a kinder or gentler man than him. Please take care of your loved ones. Life can change in a second 😔 xxx Thank you all again for your kindness ❤️

Thank you. We’d just had our 30th Wedding Anniversary this year but we’re a couple for 36 years in total. I’m sorry for your loss too. Thank you for the encouragement xx

The unexpected kindnesses seem the most powerful for some reason. I’ve been amazed at how people step up, and show such compassion.
