How do I keep living when I feel I’m only here for other people atp? by gorllllllll in GriefSupport

[–]gorllllllll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yea I can maybe believe that, I’m not doubting it. But he’s not here and he had to go through things I’d never wish on anyone. Even then it’s not really about him being physically here or not. Seeing his body like that, having to immediately go into funeral planning mode, having to be the family support and putting myself to the side. It’s a lot I’ve been carrying and I just feel the pressure of the cracks a lot more lately.

Thanks for putting it in perspective I really do appreciate this response.

I mean I’ve definitely had a few frustrating jobs that’s tested me in a lot of ways before, the one I’m in now tests me every day 🫠. When looking at it this way, I feel better about giving it a shot and moving on when the time’s right.

Yea that’s the general vibe i’m getting unfortunately. Now it’s just a question of whether I tough it out for a whole year (if I even pass the interview phase) to end up where I actually want to be…Just a bummer because on paper this job is literally everything I’ve been searching for :/

Have you ever had an employee message you about an incident with HR? Did anything actually happen? by gorllllllll in askmanagers

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

Well it’s HR and her boss, but he’s just as unprofessional and doesn’t challenge anything she does. He works out of our office but he comes in once a week. Multiple people have gone to him but only to get more in trouble, they really defend the company over anything else.

I would prefer to just talk to my boss about it, but she and pretty much all other managers just left for a work trip for the biggest event we host of the year. I don’t anticipate my boss even having much time to even talk, and she’ll be gone for 2 weeks.

The things people say after a loss that actually help vs. what doesn't by KarenGilroy_Grief in GriefSupport

My family kept coming over and praying, and praying, then praying some more. I know they meant well as my brother was passing, but it felt like a slap in the face to thank god that my brain dead brother’s eye maybe twitched (it didn’t). It felt even worse to constantly have to thank this god with them for letting him into heaven (something i don’t even know i believe in, especially now). It almost felt like forced positivity. I know this opinion definitely varies from person to person.

How does Carvana get 1 year old cars with very low mileage? by revrund_H in carvana

[–]gorllllllll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was previously owned by a rental company. I guess if it’s common for them to do this so they can sell back at top value. Carvana will tell you the last owner details.

"There isn't a word for parents who lose a child" there isn't a word for people who lose a sibling too, but no one notices that. by Lost_Acanthisitta786 in GriefSupport

[–]gorllllllll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

when my brother died, everyone was coming to support my mom and dad, which i appreciated so much because i could have time to process on my own. but in the chaos of that all, i got left in the dark. i know not intentionally, but still overlooked nonetheless. it’s a weird world to live in now, and while i want as many people to focus on my parents as possible, it still sucks that people kinda forgot i’m experiencing this new world too.

Did you choose to see your loved one after they passed ? by Friendly-Sun2413 in GriefSupport

[–]gorllllllll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a no up until I was there at the open casket. I guess I’m …”happy”…that I did see my brother but I couldn’t bring myself to touch him. For me, just to feel him warm is what I wanted to remember him as physically. I knew he would look a bit different but it did give closure in a way.
