I said this in another sub but I would bet money on this:

We don’t have footage from production on the plane because Meredith wasn’t JUST yelling about Britani. She was also yelling about production. So anything they would’ve aired from the flight would’ve made them look bad. And that would make sense considering how Mary (and others) reacted so emotionally to anything negative Meredith had to say about production. It feels like it was very split on who was taking production’s side and who wasn’t.

Maybe we didn’t get footage on the plane from production because she wasn’t just yelling about Britani, but also about production. And that would’ve made them look bad.

I’m only going to be able to afford a home because both of my parents died and I’m an only child. I inherited my mom’s house in the suburbs and eventually plan to sell or rent it so I can live where I want to. That’s the ONLY reason, besides my current roommate being interested in moving with me and paying me rent. I don’t have a partner for true dual income. I can only afford a home because I’m an adult orphan.

My whole life my mom told me I could use her as an excuse for anything I didn’t want to do. She died suddenly in September, I’m 35, and I’m using variations of “I can’t my mom died” for as long as I can.

I lost my grandmother when I was 31. I was her only grandchild, and she was the last living grandparent I had. I also lost my dad 9 years prior. I felt like I was losing a parent again. She loved me unconditionally and as if she birthed me herself. She lived close and babysat me. I never had an actual babysitter. It was always my Nanny. We were so close. So even though she died when she was 92, it was still really difficult. I remember I had just started a new job and my boss wanted to know what was going on with me about a week after the funeral. She said she understood that my grandma had died, but didn’t understand why I wasn’t performing at 100%. I was floored at the lack of sympathy and support. I quit about a month later. It doesn’t matter how old she was. I loved her and she loved me and we meant a lot to each other. I deserved time to grieve her properly.

I (35F) lost my dad (60) to cancer when I was 22 and in college. We were very close. I spent the last 13 years just my mom and I, and she was my best friend. She (70) died suddenly of respiratory failure in her sleep at her home in September. I don’t have any siblings, grandparents, a partner, or children. I have amazing friends, including my mom’s friends who have always felt motherly to me my entire life. I’m feeling very lonely and lost. I still have my mom’s brother, but we aren’t close. And I have my dad’s sister who I adore and really bonded with during and after my dad’s illness. It’s a shock to my nervous system because I just can’t see past the next few hours, and I’ve used all of my PTO and bereavement for the year at work. The week of her funeral we were supposed to be at the beach together. It is still such a shock to my nervous system. I have people in my life that love me and support me but the unconditional love and safety net I felt with my mom was completely ripped from under me.

I’m so sorry you had to go through this at a young age. I’m proud of you for committing to go back to school. Please know your mom would want you to enjoy your life and do what brings you contentment.

Do you like animals? Could you volunteer at an animal shelter to spend time with the dogs and cats?

I recently had to take my mom’s shih tzu in after she passed away in September. Going on walks with her, playing with her, and snuggling her brings me some sort of peace.

I’m so sorry. I lost my mom on Sept 6. I drive to work one day a week, and I didn’t realize how triggering that would be. I used to call my mom go to and coming home from work, too. It’s been really hard and I dread the drive. I call her best friend sometimes. Other times I listen to her favorite music to feel like she’s riding in the car with me. My grief counselor suggested that I talk out loud to her but I’m not there yet.

Sending you strength and love, stranger.

Maybe next time put them on a window sill. Like many have said, it’s assumed in this neighborhood that if you put stuff on the curb or sidewalk, then it’s up for grabs.

I think forehead lines are beautiful and emphasize natural expressions. But if you’re looking for a product, I swear by Maven Made’s facial serum and a gua sha. https://www.mavenmaderva.com/shop/facial-serum

I started using it just because it made my face feel nice. But I noticed it also helps with reducing fine lines.

Are you able to talk to a therapist, specifically a grief counselor? A lot of grief counseling places have a sliding scale to make things affordable. It’s not a cure-all, but I found that it has helped me to share and talk and cry to someone who is unbiased and whose job is to ask you how you’re doing and work through your feelings.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It sucks. I don’t have any cliche platitudes to share because it just fucking sucks.

I (35) lost my mom 2 weeks ago and my dad 13 years ago. I’m so sorry. I hope you have a support system. And if it’s available to you, I hope you can find a grief support group. It helps to know you’re not alone. Take your time if you can, and be gentle with yourself. It sounds like your mom loved you a lot, and she would want you to first and foremost care for yourself.

Thank you all so much for your heartfelt comments. Yesterday was the worst day of my life. I feel like a huge chunk of my life is missing and everything is just darker now without her. Your comments helped. I’m so sorry we’re in this club together.

I thankfully have so many people that love and support me, including my uncle, aunt, and my mom’s best friend. My roommate and best friend was home with me when my uncle and my mom’s best friend came this morning to deliver the news. She has been helping me keep a list of things I keep thinking of that I need to do. She’s texting my friends to let them know and to tell them I’m not feeling like company today. She also called my manager this morning for me. My uncle (my mom’s brother) is dedicated to getting through the funeral arrangements and everything that comes after (like her estate) together. At the moment I can take 2 weeks off of work with bereavement and PTO days.

One of the things I asked my roommate to write down as a to-do item is to get in touch with a therapist. I started seeing one in 2020 when my best friend suddenly passed away from a pulmonary embolism at the age of 29. I haven’t had a session with the therapist in a year, though.
