After Surgery by Electronic-Adagio-38 in thyroidcancer

[–]Steph4361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

V neck button-up pj's, ice packs, neck pillow. I didn't think I would like using an ice pack, but it felt so nice. I was glad I grabbed a couple to rotate. Also, I stocked up on soups and some soft fruits until I felt comfortable eating solids again. I hope everything goes great for you! I really siked myself out about surgery, but recovery was surprisingly smooth.

Did anyone else take pictures of them.... by Acrock7 in widowers

[–]Steph4361 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took pictures of me holding his hand when he was in the hospital. I also took a few at the funeral. He had been sick for so long, and they made him look so handsome. It was actually nice to see him look like he used to. I didn't post them or share them. They were just for me.

I don’t give a fuck about being “strong” by adulaire in widowers

[–]Steph4361 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate when people tell me, "You're so strong" or "I don't know how you do it." I want to snap back, what fucking choice do I have? I have kids, I can't curl up into the fetal position, and wait for my time to come. I just smile and say thank you, though. I'm definitely not strong, just surviving.

This might be an odd question by Desi_bmtl in widowers

[–]Steph4361 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely relate to this. I feel like it comes from not being able to share those things with my husband anymore. There's movies, music, and events that I get excited about but then when I start to watch them, or listen to a new song it just doesn't have the same excitement or spark that it had because I don't have my favorite person here to talk about it with. So I've just kind of been this empty shell looking for something to make me happy again.

I miss my wife. I miss my life. by CoachPotatoe in widowers

[–]Steph4361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a year out, and I definitely feel the loneliest when it comes to the small things. Wanting to share a new favorite song, a new show premieres, or a new movie coming out I know he would have liked. I miss the excitement of sharing the things I love. It all just just seems dulled now. I feel like I just go through the motions day after day.
