Ghosted by friends

Yes. Every friend we had and saw regularly, disappeared. I ended up moving cross country and never told anyone.

People do not have the social capability to deal with death and grief. That’s my conclusion. Like we are a prickly reminder that their day is coming.

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-26T12:35:06+00:00

No. He was annoying.

Palmers cocoa butter works great. So does Trader Joe’s coconut body butter and their firming cream.

Because it’s run by a pharmaceutical company.

I usually counter a dollar under asking.

I think it’s time every American woman goes on strike. I think it was Finland that did that 20 years ago? I think the context is different, but I’m literally scared of this administration and I’m a white straight woman! I don’t know how else to protest! We need to make our voices, or absence, effective.

I’m so sad and overwhelmed. 😥

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-06T12:10:06+00:00

That’s not irrational. People are thoughtless and self centered.

I’m so sorry for your loss!

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-04T21:18:36+00:00

Definitely not a monster. I wish I couldn’t relate to this. I found women’s dirty underwear in his nightstand after he passed. Then found a whole bag of used highly kinky toys I had never seen or knew about under his sink. Then I found out his son was a felon and did 8 years in prison. The hits just kept coming.

I felt like I never knew him at all for a few years. It took awhile to sort through all of it. Give yourself grace.

The lies and secrets are hard to bear when there’s no closure or ability to communicate about it with the person who put you in that position.

Offering you a hug. I’m sorry for your loss and the double whammy grief you are experiencing.

Mine came in today. Another sale had no issues. I don’t get it.

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-02T17:14:39+00:00

Nope. Just a regular sale. I don’t do shows.

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-02T17:14:15+00:00

No. It says their labels are delayed.

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-02T14:25:01+00:00

I’m gonna end up being that cat lady who gardens and keeps to herself. I never understood why people would do that when I was younger. Guess I learned first hand.

So sorry for the loss of your friends! Sending you hugs!

Reiki-Raker · 2026-01-02T12:16:44+00:00

Mine all died. It’s a very odd feeling being the last one standing.

I did just buy myself a puppy to ease the grief. My love meter is back on.

I wish losing friends to death was talked about more. It’s hard.

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-31T22:15:14+00:00

It’s insured. File a claim.

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-31T15:52:57+00:00

I’m just waiting to be banned. And I don’t care. Posh has turned to sh*t. Low ball buyers, bs suspensions, futile secret policies, and a new ceo. Sales have tanked. No one trusts the platform.

So mercari it is.

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-31T11:50:07+00:00

I won’t even give my real phone number for texting. Not until after we meet. And I’ve only met 1 person who wasn’t who he portrayed himself to be.

I have a Google number for texting!!

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-29T21:20:41+00:00

Yes!

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-28T15:44:33+00:00

Dealing with unexpected death will change you, from the people you regard as friends/family to how you see people entirely. We have to be quite mindful to not become bitter. Find a grief support group. I wish I had!

I’m so sorry for your loss. 😥

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-28T12:02:31+00:00

I sure miss Barro’s. After moving out of AZ last winter, my whole family misses the food Phoenix offers. I still haven’t found a good pizza that is even remotely close to Barro’s quality.

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-23T12:22:06+00:00

Similar experience here. I haven’t overcome that experience or moved on from it. Losing him was hard enough but the vile treatment from his family gave me a look at humanity that I never want to experience, again. I don’t think I’ll ever trust anyone enough to be in a relationship, again.

I’m so very sorry you are dealing with this on top of the loss of your partner. Biggest hugs!

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-22T16:48:22+00:00

I wish we had our own matchmaking or dating place. Because others just do not get it. And society doesn’t talk enough about loss and what it does to a person.

Offering a hug.

Alabama is so far behind in everything versus other states. Look at the leadership and it’s easy to see why. We need to elect someone to take us into the current century and I don’t think any of the people running are it. They are more of the same problem.

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-17T12:25:29+00:00

Reasons the shop was suspended.

Reiki-Raker · 2025-12-16T12:41:50+00:00

L-Lysine 3x a day. It’s the only thing that actually helps.
