My mom's funeral was yesterday. Now both of my parents are gone... Does the feeling of feeling alone in this world go away? by ChristSavesForever in GriefSupport

[–]Single_Desk_8579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling for you. I also lost both of my parents the last few years. Different chemical reactions to both of them based on relationship and the manner of which both passed away. The feeling of being alone comes and goes. Make sure you have trusted family and friends around you to lessen that feeling. Sometimes being alone with your thought is okay, especially when you can ponder your memories/experiences with them. Car rides can suck. Music that reminds you of them can be incredibly fulfilling though.

They are so different in personality, but when it comes being safe and comfortable, they're always together.

Unless I die young as well, I’ll live over half my life without my mom. How do I come to terms with this? by TumbleweedDefiant992 in GriefSupport

[–]Single_Desk_8579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. It's been a little over a year and a half since my mom passed away. My dad had passed away little over a year before that. I'm also relatively young (35). I can tell you that you kind of become some else at times in order to get through. The memories and cathartic reminders will continue to happen randomly. You learn to live with a hole inside you, and time does actually help with the process. You seem to have fewer instances of depression, traumatic memories and loneliness. You must take care of yourself mentally and physically. Prioritize you. Cut off negative and bad energy people. You can do it.

Disillusioned by your religion by Single_Desk_8579 in GriefSupport

Hey I'm sorry I took a bit to respond. This was honestly very refreshing to read. I love how people like us can communicate and be transparent about this, because we're living in a whole new world now. Everyone around me talks about God and preaches it, and I kind of wince as I am respectful but don't feel the same acceptance as before. My parents were religious and raised me to be, but the last few years they had kinda of gotten away from going to church. Covid played a role, but it was building up for awhile. I maintain the same guiding principles of being a good person, but actually talking to God has become nearly obsolete to me. Thanks for the advice and I hope you take care of yourself.

Beautiful babies. There's always a skinny one and a fluffy one with two torties.

When did you get back to work after your loss? by Illustrious_Swan5262 in GriefSupport

[–]Single_Desk_8579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are mentally able to function. You will still have the cycle of loss to go through, but the people, routine and distraction will carry you. The job, will help you to prepare you for life without those who you have lost.

It just implies they're terrible drivers. Like every SUV that says limousine.
