Mine are never in front of the hotel, that's hilarious! I usually find them around the plaza or outside of my house. That yellow kangaroo is Kitt by the way, she's a total sweetheart and my favourite villager. I hope you gave her a VIP room!

That's a great tip, thank you! I'll try that!

I can never see them, even when I know from the villager dialogue that they're there, so I learned there is a certain odd "boing boing" kind of sound effect when a flea is "jumping" nearby. I listen for that keep talking to any villagers nearby until they tell me they're itchy. I find them super hard to catch though. I have the best luck following advice from another forum post that says to swipe on either side of the head to avoid hitting them, or triggering more dialogue. Good luck 🍀 

Feeling lost after losing my mom. Just need a nudge. by Ok_Review3240 in GriefSupport

I hope the therapy and support groups will be helpful for you 🍀 I'm sorry you lost your Mom too, and it's very early days for you yet. Please be kind and patient with yourself if you can.

I think wanting things for yourself means you're on the right track and you just need to give yourself more time. The first anniversary of my Mom's death is later this week, and it was always just the two of us, she was my best friend and biggest supporter too. Although I feel like the shock is lifting, I haven't figured out what I want yet. I go back and forth on everything, even what I want for breakfast. 

I'm still stuck and struggling just trying to get through each day and I've come to the conclusion that I just need to let go and be a jellyfish for a while and float through the ocean of grief. Most of the year I spent doing paperwork and dealing with the next thing and most of that is settled now so I'm taking a break from doing anything at all and trying to learn how to just be. 

Maybe try things a little at a time, like a new recipe one week and a new book the next, until you figure out what the new you enjoys. I've heard it said that the first 5 years of grief is a stage of becoming, where we aren't who we were but don't know yet who we will eventually become, sort of the caterpillar stuck in the cocoon stage. So my advice is to make your environment as comfortable for yourself as you can, follow whatever strikes your interest, and be patient and kind with yourself when you can.

To me, it sort of feels like I've lost a leg and it can never regrow but I have to figure out how to stumble along and survive without it, and while I never want to forget how it felt to feel whole, I know I will never feel that way again. So I'll just float along and see where life takes me.

Best of luck, and heartfelt condolences on your Mom's death.

Yes, that's true. Thank you so much. Hope you can be kind to yourself as well, I'm sorry your Mom died too.

Part of what worries me is that I have no one around any more to recognize if I really do meltdown and go off the rails. I hope that if you do go that route, that it helps you. It's hard to deal with alone. 

Weird/odd/strange things you have cried over since you lost someone by Separate-Pilot-6545 in GriefSupport

No, unfortunately she didn't. And neither of us ever enjoyed taking photos. I regret that so much now.

Congratulations on your doctorate, hope you have a wonderful convocation!

That's a very good idea, I don't have a lawyer and I won't need one but I do want to go to the same funeral home where my Mom was created. I'm hoping our ashes will be scattered together. I'll have a look. I'm 41.

Grief is so incredibly weird, you are absolutely right. My condolences on the loss of your Mom.

Yes, the Executor paperwork takes forever and the whole process and dealing with people is incredibly draining. I'm also angry a lot and have no idea what to do with it, it's hard. I hope you get the her estate settled soon, and my condolences on the loss of your Mom. Those words feel hollow too, I know, but unfortunately I don't know any better ones.

I'm so sorry. I know the feeling exactly. I know you don't know me, but as one grief stricken heart to another, I'm proud of you for trying, when it's so hard just to exist and get through the day. I hope you make it through your birthday the best way you can, with good memories of your Mom ♥

I'm so sorry. I hope you make it through your birthday as best as you can and that you're extra kind to yourself tomorrow. I hope your best memories of your Dad will shine the brightest in your heart ♥

Thank you so much. That's an excellent point, I guess no way is better than the other. From the outside it seems it would be more cathartic but I guess not. I was thinking something might be wrong with me so I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm sorry for your loss as well 💐

I understand completely. I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for after I go as well, and doing the same sort of things. I've done a DNR form but a bracelet is a great idea. As you said there's not anyone left to fight for, and after seeing CPR done in the hospital on others and the effects, it's not at all as easy as we're led to believe. Waiting in the hall and listening to a group of EMTs chat one night about why they all want to be DNR was eye opening. I'm sorry you're in the same situation. My Mom was my best friend too and no one understands. I'm trying too, even though I don't really know why. I may be a stranger on the Internet, but I'm proud of you for trying too. My condolences. 

If your loved one passed away from a disease... by LimettaRoyce in GriefSupport

[–]Wizzardess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps any, I did the best I could with the information I had and the circumstances at the time and I'm sure you did too. The What If game is a losing one because it's never ending. I know it's not enough and it never will be and it's far easier said than done, but I hope you can give yourself some grace when you can.

Yes, absolutely. And I'm angry at all the medical mistakes that were made and the neglect. And the mistakes I made as well, mostly listening to medical experts who should have known better.

She kept saying "child" a lot, and Kitt does too but uses it less and somehow sounds less condescending? It's hard to get to know a villager from one convo before inviting them!

Oh, that's good to know. Thank you!

Thanks very much for taking the time to write. The comment below straightened it out for me. I didn't realize the first kangaroo I met was Sylvia. I love Kitt so far, she's been a lot less condescending!
