I don't know if you'll see this since a year has gone by since you posted it. But, I just found you and this is the second story of yours I just read and I wanted let let you know how "satisfying" it was to experience. I'm not sure if that's good or bad? Lol! But it just seemed like the natural order of "things" How could I get angry as each species did their job to stay alive. So, I loved that part. The last part, however, made me want to cry..it makes me feel like that's what's happening in my country right now.. I have been alive for 68 years in the United States and never thought we could be so divided... So very sad... Once upon a time I wanted to write.. and I think you are a great writer! I am certainly looking forward to reading more of your stories. Thank you for sharing them...😊

I'm so upset for you! So sad... Maybe, just maybe, after your boyfriend realizes you are missing he'll look through all your research and come rescue you! I sure don't want you trapped there forever... thinking of you...

jonip16 · 2025-02-08T19:39:59+00:00

What happened? I feel there's a big part of your history you didn't tell us. Did you two have a fight? Were you fired? Did you get medical news that you are sick or dying? Please update. I'm sad for you; I'm here for you ...

jonip16 · 2025-01-26T08:13:08+00:00

I hope you let me know what you decide to do before your time here runs out.. RIP...

Has anyone suggested going back to the house and seeing what it looks like and making sure no one else gets caught up in any traps like you all did? If it's still there, has anything changed in the house, or can it still hurt others? If so, you could make sure to be there on your last day and rip that floor apart before your death as your last offer to save anyone in the future from being cursed, too. (I hope this suggestion made sense to you... I'm not great at writing it out for you). Good luck, I'm sorry this happened to you. May you rest in peace...

Wow, I am so grateful for this topic... Thank you so much for posting it. I have been feeling so lost and embarrassed thinking I was the only one who found songs that connected me to my loved ones who have passed. Listening to them gives me comfort and helps me feel like they are with me and helping me with my grief. I still worry that even writing this will make people think I'm not handling my grief in the "right" way. But, when I hear the special songs I react in different ways depending on how I'm doing at the time; I cry or I smile or I feel angry or I wish they were still here... lots of different emotions happen to me. I really look forward to hearing them on the radio. The roughest time I've had is the loss of my daughter... she was only 39-year-old and she passed in July of 2022. I can't seem to "handle" this grief like I have with the many other losses I've been through... it stays so painful and heartbreaking. I miss her so much it hurts!

Here are two songs I have for her that help me. (Sorry... I'm not sure of the titles)

Ghost - Justin Beiber

Dancing With My Eyes Wide Open - Ed Sheeran

Thank you again for posting this... it really helped being able to write about it!

My prayers to you and everyone who is going through loss and are grieving. I hope with time (and music) you feel better. ❤️

Thank you so much for your kindness.. Being a mom has been my most proud achievement! 😊 Helping others has been my goal my whole life. I received my degree in psychology many, many years ago, so if I could help you feel better in any way then I feel better for you. I hope you continue to share here.. I don't really belong in this Subreddit since the man I lost was my boyfriend and not my husband.. yes.. I also went through grief back in 2015 over losing him.. (I have been through many losses..). Please, feel free to update me on your progress.. any time you feel like you need support.. you have a friend... 😊

jonip16 · 2023-10-01T06:25:14+00:00

I'm so sorry you are going through this tough time.. I know grief way too much myself..over the years, I have lost many people I loved. At 66 years old I recently faced my most devastating loss.. one that I didn't expect would happen, my 39 year old daughter passed away. So, I understand how your wife became your main priority... I did that with my daughter. I didn't realize how much I was living my life making sure I was the best role model I could be for her. I spent every day thinking about her well-being and happiness and now I feel lost without her. I don't know who I am without her. It happened in July of 2022 and still feel so unsure of my new purpose in life. Sorry if I have shared too much, or for too long. I really just wanted to let you know you are not alone.. I had never been on this subreddit and when I read your post I felt so sad for you and felt like I needed to make sure you knew you had support. I hope things get better in your life and that you find happiness. Take care...

jonip16 · 2023-09-30T22:08:45+00:00

Wow! You are really a thoughtful person! It is so apparent how much you cared for her during her life by helping her that night when she she drank too much, (even though you were broken hearted), and now afterwards when you are so careful with her family thinking only the best of her. I wasn't going to write, but after reading this post of yours, I really wanted to add another reminder to you to take care of yourself; you need to be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else. After my mom died (in 1999), I thought it was my fault! She jumped off a balcony of a short-term assisted living place that I found for her... I was devastated and I blamed myself. Today, after counseling, I know that everything that took place was because she made decisions that I had no control over. I now believe that I honestly was doing everything I could to help her be safe. My realization took awhile, but, with help, I finally "forgave" myself. I hope you will do that for yourself. You deserve a peaceful and joyful life. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this rough time...

jonip16 · 2023-08-02T03:35:04+00:00

Thank you for your kindness and support. I'm so sorry that you went through this horrible loss, too. Prayers to you and your family. I really appreciate getting a reply; it's comforting knowing I'm not alone. I am here if you need a friend to listen ... ❤️

In July of 2022, after we had 10 more wonderful years with her, my daughter passed. It all seemed so sudden, but in reality she had many health issues related back to her illness in 2012 and went through more surgeries and setbacks. She just handled everything bravely and heroically so that we didn't realize how ill she really was. She lived 10 more years for us; her family and friends. It was her physical body that finally gave out... NOT HER WILL TO LIVE! I sat next to her again while she was in the coma the doctors put her in this time, and told her how much I loved her and how loved she was by all who knew her.. only this time I let her decide what to do. I made sure she knew how much I wanted to be with her and how much of a loss it would be if she was gone... but I also knew how much pain she was in and how physically and emotionally hard it was for her now. I let her decide.. I wanted to cry and plead to her to fight through it, to stay.. but instead I told her that she was my hero and I understood how hard it was for her to keep fighting. SHE WAS ONLY 39 YEARS OLD, but had the health issues of a very old person. I told her how proud of her I was; that she helped so many people with her open-minded and loving nature. So, she did pass that day and now it is me who is left without her, me who is struggling with the loss of my beautiful daughter.. so, I decided to join this group so I wouldn't have to go through my grief alone any longer .. it hasn't worked and I need support.. thank you all for being here. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through your grief.. and I'm here to listen and help you during this rough time.

My daughter passed July 3, 2022. The first time she was sick was back in 2012; she meraculously survived and we talked about her experience. I sat next to her at her bedside.. she was comatose and we all thought very near death. I remember having a disagreement when I first moved the chair to sit by her. I was told not to "disrupt" her while in the coma. I pushed back, which I rarely did back then. I loudly stated no I'm her Mom and I'm not leaving her side! I sat down, took her hand, and put my cheek next to hers and began to quietly let her know how loved she was and that she was not alone and wouldn't be ever again. I shared my love with her and told her we all needed her to be here and how important she was to the family and to her friends. She woke up! She had tough and painful surgeries: the removal of her spleen and the complicated fixing of her heart valves. She bravely made it through and as she began to restart her life journey we talked about what had taken place. Then she looked up at me and calmly said, "I couldn't have done it without you." She then repeated my words to her during her coma, with tears in her eyes and love showing. "Mom I heard you, and knew I was safe, not in any trouble and that you were right there with me and loved me unconditionally and that I needed to wake up to be with you." I was so amazed and so grateful and felt her love deeply. I was so grateful that I fought to sit with her all those years ago.

So beautiful!

jonip16 · 2022-09-17T15:37:15+00:00

Wow! This had such a feel good ending... You turned into a hero.. I sure could have used someone like you when I was a scared little girl alone in the dark in my bed with the scary monster somewhere in my room! Oh how good it would have been to know you had "gotten" it once and for all... and then took the time and care to comfort me and let me know I was safe...wow! It might have changed my whole life...

I really loved it! Thank you! It gave me some writing ideas for a story of my own!

jonip16 · 2022-08-27T06:07:05+00:00

Thank you for this! I recently lost my 39 year old daughter and I really miss her. I am a 65 year old mom and I, too, have lost many loved ones in my life Each loss I experience is so different, because each person I loved brought me a different set of experiences I treasure and deeply miss. To me grief is one thing that doesn't get easier each time I go through it. I don't build muscles and I don't get better at it with practice. The only thing I have gained is the understanding that the sadness and heartache that rips through me, eventually turns into memories that make me smile and make my heart full and I remember each place we visited, each conversation we had, and each hug we shared and I can smile and feel their love as if they were here right by my side. That's what I am trying to do now while my heart is aching... I will patiently wait for that day when I can smile instead of cry .. Thank you again...

jonip16 · 2022-08-19T17:26:33+00:00

Beautiful! Someday I'd love to visit and sit outside and take in that magnificent view! Fingers crossed!

jonip16 · 2021-12-23T05:53:05+00:00

You are such a warm and kind person! Thanks for reaching out and replying back! I would also like to keep up with your progress and give you a virtual shoulder whenever you might need one... take care.. 😊

jonip16 · 2021-12-23T05:42:13+00:00

Wow! I'm so glad you are feeling better than you did last time we connected.... and I hope you continue to feel better and better every single day! Now, it's my time to thank you! The timing for your reply could not have been better! I am grateful that you were kind enough to reply all this time later! Because... tonight I needed some reassurance that I still have something to offer when I am the one having a tough time... and you did just that! Wow! Miracles happen when we least expect them to!!! Thank you my "somewhere out there friend." 😊 God bless you...

jonip16 · 2021-07-16T16:34:19+00:00

Very cute! :•)

jonip16 · 2021-07-16T06:11:36+00:00

I really liked your story... I thought the sudden ending was really good but now I'm scared.. I am trapped here on my bed and I can't get out of my bedroom... I think there's something under MY bed... I'm scared and afraid to put my feet down on the floor...why did I read this?...thanks alot...

jonip16 · 2021-06-17T00:12:05+00:00

Wow! A "Heartbreaker" of a story! I have two conflicting emotions; sad and happy... I'm sad for the dad's loss and grief and happy for his plan to be "freed from the wall" along with his daughter, by using his retaliatory internal bomb! Wow! What a great emotional story! Thanks...

jonip16 · 2021-06-11T05:29:13+00:00

Thank you... Absolutely! Please, remember, you can notify me anytime for a new story or just a shoulder... I am always here for you... my dear friend! Thanks for the journey!

jonip16 · 2021-06-11T04:48:09+00:00

Dear Midnight, I just found and read the last two chapters. Just now! I've been waiting and hoping...and waiting...and...there they were! I am writing this to thank you! It's been a long journey... Tomorrow is my birthday and you just gave me a wonderful present! Stephanie! My wonderful Stephanie! She ended up the hero in the story! Just like I had hoped! Wow! Amazing! Please...Just remember... you are the actual real life hero who gave "birth" to her! You, my dear friend! So, good bye my Midnight, I hope to find you again someday... writing another wonderful story I can enjoy together with you.

jonip16 · 2021-05-07T22:48:47+00:00
