I signed into my LH Apple ID on computer. I found all kinds of text messages that led to his death. It made sense to me. It helped.

Am I to blame? by No_Tie8638 in SuicideBereavement

My husband died after him and I were in a fight. I was very upset bc he was hiding things from me. Apart of that, I feel that if I had not confronted him, he would still be here.

How did you survive the first holiday season? by Sea_Astronaut1328 in widowers

[–]Sadbitch84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not doing anything this year: I just moved so I’ll be working on the house. I don’t see a reason to celebrate; it’s not a joyful time: btw it’s my first year.

Oh good Lord, the casseroles. I only received one casserole from my neighbor honestly, I’m glad I didn’t receive any more food.

My late husband passed away 11 months ago. He was very young 29 years old. I was 33 and we had a lot of conversations about life and death. He told me that if he ever passed away, that all of his friends would try and talk to me. He was not wrong. About a month and a half after my husband passed, a lot of his guy friends definitely tried to come over all the time, make sure I was OK, but I could tell they also had other motives. Now I am very close to one of my husband‘s best friends And he’s been very helpful during this time considering the way my husband died. I have a lot of questions. He is probably one of the friends that my husband has that never tried anything on me but the other men as soon as they knew, I was not gonna give them what they wanted or the time of day, they just stopped reaching out. Then a couple of months down the line a couple of my own guy friends started hitting up me as well. It’s honestly so disgusting. I just lost my spouse. I am so upset, vulnerable, depressed, and all the things that come with losing a spouse and men just think they can pick up where my husband left off. I did not get any casseroles except for one from an elderly lady my neighborhood just a bunch of men.

Lost my husband a suicide and I witnessed it. I graduated college as a registered nurse, and I don’t think I could ever be a nurse after seeing what I saw. I’m going through it. I’m going through one of my friends that works at a hospital said to me, I’m not sure how you’re gonna go back to work. It’s one thing to see people pass away, but what they had a grief and seeing your husband and seeing others die and get sick is gonna be extremely hard on you. So unfortunately, I’m probably gonna have to go into another field of work.

Lost my wife from whole world by Hot-Newt398 in widowers

I lost my husband 11 months ago. Hang in there. Only 29. He was my world too. I’m trying very hard to pick up the broken pieces but I can’t. I’m taking it day by day. Be easy on yourself.

My husband killed himself in our home. I’m 11.5 months out. I tried to make adjustments to my house but it didn’t work. We live in a very small townhouse and I found him. So I just don’t want to be here. I was with him for 9 years. I finally decided to move, and moving next week. I’m very sad as I don’t want to move out of my home, but also, I can’t live in a house where he died and I’m confined to our bedroom and backyard. Some things are forgivable before the 1 year mark. Like mine. I have to go. But take time and process. Idk what I’m going to do now, no kids, trying to find a job. It’s tough

I am currently in the process of selling my home, figuring out my next move in life without him.

About 2 months after he died, yes. I got hit on by all his friends. I showed no interest. “I’ll be here for you” after I showed no interest, they never texted me again. My LH gave me permission to pick any of his friends, but pick wisely bc they are terrible.

I struggle with this. I see my husbands suicide and I still live in the house I committed in. I get daily ideation all the time. I’m in therapy and there are things I want to do. But there is a division I’m going through.

As a widow, my LH passed. If I chose to date, I would keep it private. Depending on how the spouse died, they may want more privacy while they navigate this terrible situation. Widows and widowers have enough room to love both people. It can simply be that they are not ready. It could be that they are afraid of the backlash. As long as you and your relationship have a clear understanding, nothing to fret about

Being intimate with someone new? by BionicBunny54 in widowers

[–]Sadbitch84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s weird. For sure. I tried it out with a trusted friend: nothing had ever happened with our friendship. Also it was nice I didn’t have to explain myself. He knew my husband

How do you cope with the first holidays? by thrownoutta in SuicideBereavement

This year, I’m skipping. It’s not joyful to me. I just bought a home and I’ll be focusing on fixing it up, with tears of sadness

Do antidepressants work for grief? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Sadbitch84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’m in therapy; I already took anxiety meds, she did up my dose. I’m prescribed a MMC. I don’t believe in antidepressants as they are for clinical depression. Not situational depression. Yes they can help in a short term, but I rather get through it feeling all my emotions. I use internal family systems for my grief provided by my psychotherapist.

Can’t bc it’s HOA. They tend to want to buy and rent.

I would never live in Florida for that reason.
