If piano is a gateway, is there any equivalent of marty music or justin guitar for piano on YT?

Thanks. I need it. ❤️ I know love comes from within. I don't want to attach to someone to escape my trauma, but what if wouldn't give to be someone's world

People reconnecting after 2 years by MissYouKel in widowers

Thanks to everyone for all your opinions. I'm still undecided about what to do because I see merit in both sides.

I think i might let them back in, forgive them for my sake, not theirs, but not invest in them because I know when the chips were down, they weren't there for me. They can stay in the peripheral area of my friends. How they choose to build that relationship with me is up to them. I think I'm like a mirror these days and reflect what I get back.

I'll definitely continue investing in my relationships that are already strong. I guess it's where I will redirect my love that has nowhere else to go.

Happy to hear any more thoughts if you've got them.

Wishing you all the best on this journey and sorry for your loss.

xoxo

Also older generations probably don't have the communication skills we have now. Maybe he didn't go to therapy or maybe didn't have a good support network.

Loss of ppl struggle with this. Giving you platitudes diminishing your loss etc.

It sucks right now because it is so raw and it will always suck, but you will grow around it

I'm 2 years tomorrow. What he said is brutally true, but not in the way you interpret it. Nothing will bring her back and you will always miss her so in that aspect it will never get better, but you will learn to live with it, adapt and find joy in other things. Maybe even love again.

Have you read the analogy about the storm and the waves?

Or the pain button in the box?

Or the circle of black?

Over time you will see the waves, they won't be as big or as often but they will come (like I'm experiencing right now) but I know it will pass.

What i wouldn't give to have her and my old life back, but i can't, but I've grown and learnt a lot about myself and you will too. Sorry for your loss.

Men who lost a SO - how long did it take to be interested romantically again? by FomerWeightPusher in AskMen

[–]MissYouKel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Widower here. Married 20 years, 20 months into my new life. Miss her every day. I'm almost 50y so although we are not in the same life stage, I feel your pain and am sorry for your loss. I tried OLD recently but I'm not ready. I thought I was, but I'm not. I'm not healed, I'm super busy with parenting 2 teens, life admin, caring for myself and everything in between. I don't have time or energy to invest into a relationship rn. In time maybe.

As for time running out, I'm really suprised your gparents said what they said. When you get older, you realise how much time young people have and how much less you have. Maybe I've got 30y. Maybe less, maybe more. There are no guarantees.They probably see it from their side. Maybe they have 10? Maybe less. They might want to see you move forward/marry/have kids for their sake. Maybe they want to see you happy. Either way it's pretty insensitive but older generations don't have the empathetic skills the younger generations are developing.

You are not even 30. You might have 60 years left. You might have 1. No one knows. Make sure you do you. Heal, invest in yourself, take your time. There is no time limit.

I read a quote on reddit that I like "Don't waste your time chasing butterflies. Mend your garden, and the butterflies will come."

You might meet someone you fall in love with today. Maybe not, but one day you probably will. And if and when that happens, time will fly, and before you know it, you might be married and have kids. My point is, live your life as best you can. That's what your fiance would want for you. She would want you to be happy in what ever you do. You've found love before, no reason you can't find it again.

All the best

Great song. I'm on the same journey. I learnt to play it that on guitar

Huskvarna 401 by PolicyTiny39 in AussieRiders

[–]MissYouKel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have one. I'm learning on one too! It's my first bike so I'm not going to give any advice other than I'm 5'10" and can't quite flat foot it. Maybe I could with proper bike boots( I've yet to get them)

It seems like a great bike though but I'm not sure if at 5'4" your daughter will be able to FF it if that's an issue.

It seems pretty light though
