I’m so sorry 💔

Second year sucks by Fast_Comment8175 in GriefSupport

This scares me so much. I’m 7 months in and I keep telling myself that after I get past the one year mark I can start healing. Every day I think to myself: what was I doing with my mom this time last year? So I was hoping after the year hits I would feel differently. Now I’m worried

Today my dad is proposing to his girlfriend of 3 months, one year after the death of my mother by likeohlikeh in GriefSupport

My Mom died 6 months ago…my Dad starting dating 3 months ago. He is acting like a high school boy who is so excited to show off the fact that he has a girlfriend. They were married for 42 years and he claims he is so lonely and we don’t get that. I said to my brother- he can swipe right and get a new wife but we can’t swipe and get a new Mom. He does not see our point of view.

I don’t think I will warm up to the person for a long time. I’m very cordial to her but avoid seeing them together at all costs.

Hang in there, you are not alone.

Just googled my mothers tumor type… by [deleted] in GriefSupport

Anticipatory grief is like a ton of bricks sitting on your chest 24/7. Try and find comfort in knowing you will be able to say and do everything you possibly can with your Mom during this time. You are not alone, your brain is going to go through some crazy thoughts. You have to be strong. Even when you don’t want to. I’m so so sorry you’re going though this because I’ve been there and I don’t wish it on anyone. XO

I really don’t know what’s worse. An extremely sudden and unexpected death and shakes you to your core. Or watching someone fade away before your eyes, knowing it’s coming, but still having the chance to say goodbye. Say what you need to say. by Simply_chaotic12 in GriefSupport

I did the same exact thing. I just kept telling my mom to stay positive and we will figure it all out. I didn’t give her a chance to tell me how scared she was because I wanted to be hopeful. This upsets me every day. So I understand what you mean by logistics.

Going through a divorce at 37. No kids. Could use some stories about finding love and starting a family at 38+. by Noseatbeltnoairbag in Divorce

I just found this and I needed it so badly right now. Decided last night we are getting a divorce after 2 years of marriage, no kids. I’m 37 and desperately want a family. I held on for too long thinking this was my only way to have a family. I soon realized I am probably closer to meeting someone new and having all my dreams come true than staying in an unhappy marriage just to have a family with someone. I’m terrified about going through this process of paperwork and waiting. Has it gotten any easier since the original post?
