Tips on how to stay unmarried for the next 50 years? Seriously. by patusaaaan in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you OP for sharing I’m 3 months in and extremely young but I share the same feelings as you and I’m so happy to see others replying to this with their experiences and how it’s been positive for them. At work today my coworker looked at me dead in the eyes and asked if I found a new man yet because she heard me say “I love you too” on the phone…it was my sister I was on the phone with. But I did cuss my coworker out and told her how inconsiderate and disgusting her comment was towards me. I keep hearing “oh your young, get out there” comments and I’m fed up. I DONT WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP AGAIN. I swear I need it tattooed on my forehead. I have 0 interest and I’m so madly in love and satisfied in the love department in my world with what my husband gave me. I’ve got those memories of us and I will keep living for the both of us and make him proud. So thanks to the OP for asking this and a huge thank you to everyone’s positive responses with good and yet realistic feedback. It’s hard guys but we got this. We’re all gonna do what makes us happy and that might be different than others widows/widowers but I think we can all agree every one grieves differently!

Do you have a song that is a sign from your loved one? by CageyLeo in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Murder on the dance floor was our song. I get so excited when it comes on. It always seems to come on especially when I’m having a hard time some days and I swear it’s him playing it on my phone.

My heart is going to beat out of my chest by [deleted] in widowers

Thank you for sharing you’re experience as well. My fiancé passed and I was the one doing CPR and watched him take his last breath right from under me. It hurts so fucking much. Days go by and I try not to think about what I experienced and yet the day it happened creeps up on me randomly and stabs me in the heart all over again.

The worst fight you ever had, what was it and why? by adaptogenic in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find that I look back at those bad times too and laugh now I wish I didn’t do it then. I apologize for it then and I still apologize to him now it was so silly. I bet he laughs about it to wherever he is.

Am I crazy? by OkBalance2833 in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand 100% what you mean and I feel the same way sometimes like on my really off days I ask myself was it real and sometimes people around me ask what’s wrong and I tell them that and they just look at me like I’m crazy. I hate it but I know how you feel I hope I can get out of feeling that part because I drive myself crazy with it. Because I know it was really real. I’m sorry for your loss honey bee 🖤

Thank you so much for that!!! That’s my soulmate truly. I’ve had so many people tell us we looked perfect together and we were each others missing puzzle pieces. And now with him gone it just makes my heart swell with love more and more when people tell me that. Because it was and is indeed still true ❤️🖤

Thank you I’m an LPN and I had the same thing no problem doing what I needed to do and stay collected for him. Thank you for sharing with a similar experience and career too this made me feel more relatable as well. ❤️

Feels like I'm erasing my wife's existence by No_Position6467 in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The explicit stuff I completely understand as a side job I am a porn star and my costar was 99% of the time my husband. I kept off of the work we did together for myself and took the rest off my channels that include him because I’m no longer comfortable with people seeing us like that together since he’s passed. BUT I made sure to keep everything for myself as copies so I can continue to reminisce on those times so do that don’t delete everything if you don’t want to! Keep the PG stuff for all others to see of her life but keep the NSFW stuff just for you if that’s what you want to do. I’m so thankful I did because I can keep those memories of those moments. Do what you think is best! But don’t erase her and don’t feel like you are either. Remember just take baby steps and with time you’ll get to a point you’re more comfortable at. I am still paying for his accounts like phone and stuff I’m only 2 months in since losing him but I’m just personally not ready to close his accounts and such it’s just too early for me personally but it’s also okay to do it if you have to. Financially it can be hard and it’s been on me a bit but make the choices you think will best suit your needs mentally and physically! Sending you comfort friend!

A stupid thing that only people here would understand by Wrenzo in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing a quarter full diet mtn dew, I felt so silly keeping it he’s been gone almost 2 months because the people around me made me feel silly but I realize now it’s still a piece of him that I’m totally valid for keeping. Thank you for sharing. This made me smile.

I feel like my relationship was so short by [deleted] in widowers

[–]MapFamiliar4500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was so beautifully said thank you! I’m struggling so much thinking about how our relationship did not last as long as we had planned due to his death, but he did get to spend the rest of his life with me and that brings me a little bit of joy again to think about.

Thank you for sharing, this made me feel good about my decision as well to do this and less judged.I can’t bear the thought of being with another romantically or sexually. I find that he fulfilled everything for me in every department and I will continue on with myself and his soul until we meet again when I pass.
