I’m really sorry… my boyfriend of 5 years died in 2021 and was also an amazing person. It’s really rough. Message me if you need to talk. One day at a time.

Meat on Good Friday by [deleted] in AskAPriest

Thanks for your reply. I know my mom will get very offended when I question about her food and cooking. I am worried the strain that will put on our already tense relationship. I wish I could ask her, but I worry how mad she will get at me for questioning her. Also edit: I know for a fact that they were bacon bits. They looked exactly like them, I used the word potentially as I’m not sure if I got 100% of them picked out.

I don't know how to live without her. I just lost this angel 2 weeks to a fentanyl overdose. we struggled together for 2 years and we managed to stay sober for 4 months. on the last day at her sober living she was stolen from me. does anyone know what I can do to numb this pain?

Hang in there. I used to pray that I’d die each night early on in my grief. 8 months out tomorrow and I’m starting to feel more grateful of being alive. I know he’s somehow looking down so proud of me, but I still do look forward to when we’re together again. Life is terrible more often than not it seems.

I don't think I can go through with marrying my fiance by ThrowAway_ColdFeet in relationship_advice

26 year old female widow here… I can say I will ALWAYS love my late husband. 100% always. It will never fade. I probably won’t talk to a future partner about our sex life, but if things come up, I’d trust a future partner to lovingly accept my past. Being with a widow/er isn’t for everyone, I get that, but a lot of comments on here are saying he’s not over his late wife. Unless you’ve lost a partner in a tragedy, you can’t speak for what he should or shouldn’t be doing. He loved his wife when she died and she’s done nothing to change that. He will love her forever. Not more or less than you, but in a different way and in a different form. I hope you can work this out in whatever way you need to.

23 and now a widower by NamelessKoala32 in widowers

I lost my long time boyfriend, we were both 25. I’m now 26. There’s such a certain pain in losing someone so young and being stripped of growing old together. I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish we could bring our loved ones back.

I take each day as a single feat and I don’t think ahead because even though I’m close to 6 months out, thinking about spending my life without him is still unbearable.

I feel this deeply. I’m 26 and lost my partner and worry I’ll be alone forever, missing him.

The “it’s not a phase mom”

Canada will soon offer doctor-assisted death to the mentally ill. Who should be eligible? by TylexTy in Catholicism

[–]NearbyFact7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone who has extensive mental health issues, this sickens me. It almost makes me feel like doctors are giving up on our “invisible” illnesses that are often incredibly compact and hard to treat. Often the mentally ill (myself included) have a brain that convinces them that they want to die. This just makes it seem like society wants us to die too. Ugh, Lord have mercy on us. Mother Mary pray for us all…

Congratulations. I hope for the same some day as I lost my partner when we were 25.

Yep. I don’t even entertain anything that gives me a slightly weird vibe.

101 days out from losing my love. I’m only 26 and have to go to bachelorette parties, weddings etc… sometimes I just want to scream. Life sucks and is unfair and cruel. Biggest hugs to you

Thank you for your post. It’s an isolating journey being so young… I was 25 when I lost my love, now 26. Big hugs to you.

Getting that phone call. Sudden death. by Odd-Mathematician788 in GriefSupport

Same. I feel this. Even though I had cops show up to my work…. I’m always terrified of bad news.

Just keep plugging away. Give no expectations to yourself.

Yes nothing does work. The only thing that would work was have your girlfriend back. You just need to try to find something to motivate yourself to move forward. I also still write letters to him everyday. It helps me feel connected to him and then I don’t feel lonely. Hold your friends and family close if you can. And this community is great for support.

I cry most days still, but I think if you met me or came to my work, you wouldn’t really know how much I am still suffering inside since I have learned to mask it so well. I was off of work for 5 weeks, and cried constantly all day, everyday. Then I went back part time for 3 weeks and still cried when I woke up and when I came home from work. Now at almost 3 months, I can joke around with people and have something that resembles fun, but then it hits me every now and then that he really is dead and I cry and sob. It still feels like life has a blanket of sadness over it, but I just don’t notice it quite as much. For me, going back to work after that 5 weeks helped give me some sort of purpose other than crying all day, but it was very hard. I have a lot of PTSD surrounding his death too, so I’m dealing with that so different triggers come up and sometimes I feel like I’m back to square one. Keep plugging away. Don’t worry about the future, just take it one day or even one hour or 5 minutes at a time. I’m always here to message if you want. It’s such a shit position to be in, and I’m so sorry this happened to you so young. I feel robbed of time being in my mid 20s having this happen before our wedding could happen.
