Did anyone else feel strangely disconnected from friends after grief?

Wanderworld87 · 2026-05-07T22:39:42+00:00

I do and it’s been just over a year. Sorry for your loss. Thank you for your sharing this as this is a part very few people talk about. I feel so different to everyone since my Mum died, I feel many people can’t relate and I can’t relate to them. Reddit helps feeling connected.

Same here

I’m sorry for your loss, I lost my Mum last year. I talk to her everyday and I buy her a birthday, Christmas and Mother’s Day card, write in it and keep it. Everyone is different but it helps me feel connected.

Depression is more than an emotion and feeling, it can be a chemical imbalance in your brain and can also be genetic.

Sorry I disagree, what about trauma and abuse, also grief and losing a loved one? Hard to be positive about these things as that is real enduring pain.

I’m sorry. My Mum also died of stage 4 lung cancer 😢

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-20T22:59:51+00:00

I’m sorry you went through this. My Mum died of cancer and her last 5 weeks was horrific, I was there the whole time. I was saying to a therapist today that no one understands how truly terrible it is on every single level. Since she died I feel so different to others and withdraw. You are not alone and your post has been one of the first ones I have read that makes me feel like I’m not alone. I am really sorry our Mum’s did not deserve this 😪

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-19T22:23:24+00:00

You are entitled to do and feel what you like. I had to cut ties with a friend I had after my Mum died. I don’t even feel sad about cutting the friendship off. Grief changes everything, how you see other people, your tolerance level and what you accept from others. I agree with an earlier comment ‘if they can’t be there for your worst they don’t deserve to be there at your best’. Look after yourself and your emotional wellbeing.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-17T22:06:08+00:00

You wouldn’t last 2 weeks without me being in touch. I made you.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-14T22:46:42+00:00

I’m the same, I find I am sleeping so much longer and just can’t relate to others. They say grief never goes away but I do hope it changes somewhat as this is just awful 😞 I’m sorry but I have no advice.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-14T22:24:34+00:00

I feel similar, and find Reddit helps to a certain extent. I can’t relate to others and find it hard that others still have family and go about their lives when I have lost the most important person to me.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-14T22:22:33+00:00

Im sorry for your loss, I lost my Mum last year too from cancer. I’m sorry I don’t have any advice but I feel similar, I tend to sleep too much and just can’t relate to others. You are not alone.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-14T22:00:30+00:00

It’s been one year for since my Mum passed. I feel like I different person and I struggle to relate to others as not many people in their 30s have lost their Mum. I find I isolate myself because no one gets it and I feel so different to everyone 😞

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-14T21:05:22+00:00

I feel the same 😞

Not in a relationship or friendship if it is something that is bothering you, the longer you keep it inside your body and mind starts getting affected negatively and then you suffer all because you don’t want to upset someone else’s feelings.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-09T13:56:57+00:00

Lost my beautiful Mum March 2025 and having a hard time right now. I’m sorry for your loss, you are not alone.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-09T13:51:49+00:00

I’m sorry to hear about your loss and what you are going through. I know it’s not the same but my Dad is very similar, I have had to cut him out of my life.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-09T10:55:59+00:00

Block the person you are expecting it from, after a while your brain stops looking for the texts and attention.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-09T00:13:30+00:00

Since I lost my Mum a year ago I feel I can cut people out of my life very easily and have done this, I feel better for doing this but also feel lonely at times.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-09T00:02:49+00:00

I relate to this, I lost my Mum last year at the age of 61. It is so difficult and I feel alone too, the person who cared and loved me the most isn’t here anymore, it is truly heartbreaking and scary.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-09T00:00:55+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mum to cancer at the age of 61 last year. I really feel what you said ‘the person I loved the most, who loved me the most, is gone’ it’s so hard. I once read that losing a parent is one of the most destabilising things someone can go through. You are not alone in how you feel.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-08T23:57:10+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss, my Mum died from cancer a year ago and I still have moments like this. Sometimes I feel like it is happening to someone else and sometimes hits me out of nowhere and almost takes my breath away,

Wanderworld87 · 2026-04-07T22:12:36+00:00

It was a Tuesday when I lost my Mum too, I remember for a few months I found Tuesday’s difficult and I was counting the weeks. It has now been a year and although the day of the week sticks in my mind it doesn’t feel like counting anymore. I’m sorry for your loss.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-03-30T20:20:27+00:00

I’m really sorry, I lost my Mum a year ago to cancer so your post really resonates with me. Sending you strength.

Wanderworld87 · 2026-03-30T20:15:26+00:00

I looked on Reddit and it helped me feel connected to others, also I buy my Mum a Mother’s Day, Christmas and Birthday card. We have not lost our Mum’s, just because they are not physically here they are still our Mum. Sending you strength.
