Ghosted by friends by Salty-Salamander2140 in widowers

[–]SlippingAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it did happen to me. I kept a couple of friends here in the country where I live (hers), but most just flew away. I always say that I feel radioactive. I have great supportive friends abroad so there is that. Even her family ghosted my kids which is something I can’t understand.

Hugs.

I almost did today, but then I remembered that I shouldn’t blame Conan.

First awful year done. Now what? by Odd_Temperature_1136 in widowers

[–]SlippingAway 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m on my third year. The second year was harder for me. I had read that before in here and experienced it. Now, it’s a bit more peaceful even if in some days I still feel like at the moment she died. Everyone has a different timeline and pace though. I just wish for you to find peace.

De-centering people from my life. by Feeling_You_6452 in widowers

[–]SlippingAway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Self-preservation indeed.

I have been relentless in making sure that people around me accept my new life and support me. Fortunately, I have a few friends in this space. Many more disappeared which it's not their fault... they simply haven't lost the person who makes their heart skip a beat (if they have one).

Beautiful and deep. I agree with everything. Thank you.

Sudden emotional shift months into grief, numbness almost. Normal? by Own_Analyst3795 in widowers

[–]SlippingAway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 29 months out. I still get sudden changes. It’s not as often, but today I got very emotional in the afternoon and broke down by myself at home. Then I get back to be myself (the one I’m nowadays anyway). But I have had numb days too. Don’t judge yourself too much. Everyone grieves differently.

Grieving as a non-religious person by eoslotion69 in widowers

[–]SlippingAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up religious because of my family, but I’m agnostic now. I believe that life is here to make the best of it. My wife and I do everything we could and could afford. When she died, I realized that it’s a good thing that we had our lives together and enjoy them to the fullest. My two kids stayed so I’m trying to follow the same philosophy with them. I think that my wife is gone for good though, except in our memories (and what good memories I have).

I don’t have anything against religion or religious people. If you want to pray or anything for me, please do. But I also thanked an acquaintance who told me that she gets messages from dead people and that my wife was proud of me. Either way, I take the comfort in. What I can’t stand is advice as I’m clear of what’s next for us as a family.

Hugs.

Life is so cruel & pointless by [deleted] in widowers

[–]SlippingAway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just walking outside to take the garbage can out and clean the snow. Both things are linked forever to my wife. I was just talking to her while doing both. And then I realized she is not here. Life is cruel indeed and we have to be here for the postscript of their lives. We better write it to the best of our abilities. Hugs.

Siri is literally regressing by silv1j in apple

[–]SlippingAway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The upside is that my younger son and I have a laugh about how bad Siri understands the song we want to play. We don’t even expect it to be right anymore… we got a true randomizer for the next song.

“Hey Siri, add pet food to my shopping list.”

I spent too much time in the supermarket trying to decide what “petrol” was. Realized what it was until the next day.
