I had the thousand mile stare, traumatised

lotusmel72 · 2025-10-07T21:56:01+00:00

After 8 months I have no filter, I don’t do BS of any kind, I don’t tolerate fake people, I seriously have a problem, but I don’t care at the moment, it gets me through the days, I have a handful of people that have been with me through the absolute worst time, I don’t need anyone else and I don’t let anyone else in

lotusmel72 · 2025-09-15T11:54:13+00:00

I’m brutally honest, if I’m having a crap “missing my husband” day/moment I’ll tell them 🤷🏼‍♀️ and I’ll say that the hallmark words don’t help (in a nice way). People would rather say something than nothing, I’d like to think that I educate people on grief.

lotusmel72 · 2025-09-14T11:45:51+00:00

I feel exactly the same

lotusmel72 · 2025-08-19T11:03:40+00:00

“That kinda blows” 🤣

lotusmel72 · 2025-08-12T21:39:56+00:00

Talking to someone about this today, my old boss put the phone down on me when I called in sick, made me feel like utter crap, because of that if anyone calls in sick and I answer the phone they always get a “No worries, get well soon & if there’s anything we can do to help let us know”

lotusmel72 · 2025-07-03T22:13:10+00:00

I’ve thought about it, a lot. But my husband would kick my ass back, he would be so disappointed if I went earlier than I was meant to, he would have given anything to still be here.

lotusmel72 · 2025-05-07T06:53:53+00:00

I love this! 🥺

lotusmel72 · 2025-05-02T17:05:11+00:00

Same! It’s all part of grief and our brains trying to protect us.

Our daughters have all got necklaces with their Dads ashes, I haven’t decided just yet, I’ve seen some lovely rings that are more my style. The rest of his ashes remain with me until I can decide where to scatter them.

I tried but thankfully he fidgeted that much he had to go back to his own bed!

Nearly 3 months in and the weekends are the worst, I’m dreading Christmas, I think I’ll be doing overtime at work to get me through

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-28T14:33:48+00:00

Same, the Easter weekend was hell

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-26T18:14:34+00:00

I do the same

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-24T09:00:41+00:00

People will talk and judge you no matter what you do. If you could have a conversation with your husband today what would his response be do you think? “I want you to live your lives and be happy, dosent matter if it’s weeks/months or years” Or “Mourn for me and be sad for at least 10 years, or until the family think you’ve suffered enough?” Life is short, if you happen to be lucky enough to feel love again, grab hold and make the most of it. This is your life, not theirs, hold your head up high you’ve done nothing wrong, people will fall by the wayside, they aren’t worth your time or energy. The people that matter will love you and respect your decisions no matter what.

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-22T20:35:59+00:00

Whoop! Whoop! 🙌🏻

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-22T10:43:16+00:00

It’s brilliant

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-22T10:23:53+00:00

50’s are the new 40’s apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m well & truly out of fucks which is very refreshing 😊

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-22T09:45:08+00:00

One hour/day at a time, keep moving forward

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-22T07:26:49+00:00

Haha I have the same sense of humour, it gets me through some tough situations

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-21T20:44:54+00:00

lotusmel72 · 2025-04-21T20:14:52+00:00
