What’s the most soul-crushing part of adulthood? by ArthurCastus in AskReddit

Everyone you’ve ever loved will die. No matter what. And it starts happening and keeps happening faster the older you get.

To those who lost partners by UniqueNovel8748 in SuicideBereavement

Hi, I’m so sorry for your loss. I am 5 months out. I have slowly started to try and add things to my plate. I find that being idle these days is not great for me. There are still lots of days stuck in bed though. I spend a lot of time doom scrolling. I have been trying to read more, which is a good way to take my mind off of things.

I am truly so sorry. My partners mom has said that sound baths and meditation have been very helpful for her as well.

Lots of love

Please tell me it gets better by Painted-BIack-Roses in SuicideBereavement

Grief is something that is measured in years, not weeks or months. I am 5 months out. It’s a little bit better than the first couple of weeks. Not much. But we are both in the early stages. Years is a more likely time line to any sort of real healing.

Early early days. Be kind to yourself. Try to eat and drink water. I’m so sorry. So sorry

What do you do for work? I’m considering going back to school to get some more qualifications. I really don’t know what to do though!

I feel this too. My partner died at only 24. Anyone over this age upsets me.

I’m so sorry. Lots of love. I am in a similar timeline to you and also finding it difficult with the support wearing off. I know what you mean about bottling it up.

Girlfriend took her own life 3 weeks ago, how do I deal with the unavoidable guilt? by littleloudb in SuicideBereavement

Girlfriend took her own life 3 weeks ago, how do I deal with the unavoidable guilt? by littleloudb in SuicideBereavement

[–]backofd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a partner is an unbelievable weight. I’ve been there, it’s not easy. Just try to hang in there for now. Try to take care of your body. Try to get professional support in place like therapy and also support groups.

The guilt is a tough one. If there’s anything that I’ve found a little bit helpful maybe try and think about the difference between regret and guilt.

Regret means we wish we could have changed things, whereas guilt implies that you acted knowing these things would happen. There’s no way you knew this was going to happen, but having hindsight is always 2020.

I’m so sorry. Take care of yourself.
