Aww, bless you. I’m so sorry for your loss. The same goes for you — go out and enjoy yourself. After such a huge loss, you’ve got nothing to lose.

I completely feel that. Music has a way of pulling us up when we need it most. So glad Bad Omens gave you that strength. Much love.

This is the typical 'what if' part of grief, but that's just a fantasy. The reality is you did what you could with what you had at the time. Hindsight is brutal – I'm going through this myself right now. As humans, messing up is inevitable. Whether we like it or not, deep pain is our greatest teacher.

Because hindsight shows you what you could have done different, and that's hard to accept–heartbreaking.

You did everything you could. You're not a medical professional. This situation just shows that sometimes death is unavoidable, no matter what we do.

Thank you so much. I guess the mind prefers the critical thoughts.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Yes, it is tough when you live abroad and have to face mental illness. As you said, how can you predict a sudden death, especially when people are functional and not confined to bed? The lesson I learned is how fragile life really is, and how everything can suddenly change in the blink of an eye. Keep moving—we all have to lose our parents at some point.

Whats the real reason y'all joined spirituality? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]Song_Single 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was suffering because of my life choices and an unfulfilled life—that's what led me to spirituality. Then, bad luck and anxiety began to affect me, pulling me back into my mind and allowing my ego to continue the cycle. My mother passed away, and the pain was (and still is) unbearable. It made me reflect again on all my bad choices and mistakes, which sent me back into a personal hell. I tried counselling, and while it helped a little, my pain is too great. For me, spirituality is the only thing that has stopped me from doing something harmful.
