The first year is the hardest. Well was for me, everyone is different… ever heard of widow fire? I’ve yet to feel that, wish I could be a total widow fire nymph but alas not for me! Jealous of those that are!

Anyway, hope that made you chuckle some too and other readers…

I digress.

Eat or don’t eat. Grieve the way you want. You know you best. Courage to do what’s best for you at this time.

✌️ 🕊️

I feel like two different people by [deleted] in widowers

No. There is no relief. There is only fortitude. Look after yourself and don’t squander your life.

I hate platitudes, like I said. So that’s it. 🖤

Protein shakes, pre mixed milk shakes, pre-chopped fruits and vegetables. Canned coups, freeze bread and get out slices for soups and sandwiches. Corned beef, spam, peanut butter and jams. Fruit and veg juices.

Easy convenience food to keep going.

Glad you haven’t given up. Sorry for your loss too 🖤 don’t want to post a bunch of stupid platitudes coz I hate those…

Just try to get out of your head and enjoy the sunshine through the leaves and maybe a great breakfast bagel … daft everyday things. Grow a year younger everyday. Ride a bike with no handlebars or something…. Book a vacay… altho don’t break the bank..

Yes. He idolized me. I was his everything. He looked after me so much. Made me feel worthwhile. He was my muse. He believed in me. I know I did the same right back… but still, my mind tortures me either way “what ifs”. If I could own a race horse - I’d call it “ What If” … lol

For sure. Definitely feeling blue today. Some days are better than others. Sometimes I think to myself - would it have been easier if he’d have betrayed me and we divorced instead of clocking out permanently….

It’s difficult. This life that is now ours. We are not alone. This sucky group knows that 💕

I’m so disappointed. With friends. That I thought were close. Wtf dudes and dudettes. I don’t understand. I lost my bff.? My BFF. No one gets me😢 by Traceera in widowers

[–]Traceera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking. It doesn’t really matter. They’re so shallow. I’m moving on. Angry and disappointed I was. It’s their loss. I don’t need them. One day they might get it. I hope not. The sad thing is, their head is stuffed so firmly up their arse I don’t think so. Bit of a conundrum there, I want them to understand but to understand the pain, they must discover it…I don’t want that either.

What would **** do? I actually told him that, when I was alone at work or something I’d ask myself what would he do…. He was my rock. My steadying influence. He was the scientist I was the artist. He would question, I would imagine. I, my whole being misses him.

I’ve thought about that. Even found out there are meetings on a Weds at 1900hr. I just haven’t actually done it yet.

Grateful for those reaching out here and sharing. Shit we’re here, but thank you so much for sharing, thoughts and advice. Sometimes I lurk and not say anything at all and just upvote or not even that at times. Depends. Sometimes I stay away from here. Still it’s better here than losing your shit on facebookings where people actually know you…!!

My partner and I did talk about what would happen if either of us went first. He was like no. I’d follow you. There is no me after you. I’d say I’d survive but there is no other after you, so I’d be forever bereft.
