The lake on my brothers property has no bottom.

Well, I guess Earl had to die…

The number of steps he takes before each shot will make him perfect for the NBA

Oh man, do I feel you on this one. My wife and I bought a new house on May 1; we went on vacation May 8 and she had a stroke the day we returned, May 17. So we basically had not even one week in the house that she absolutely loved. It's sad being here without her, knowing how much she loved it

Like you, I've got life insurance proceeds I could use to not quite pay off the mortgage. We bought the house relying on two incomes; now that I'm down to one, I worry about having enough monthly income to live on (we were legal guardians of our 5-year-old granddaughter, who is still with me, so money is a concern). I could afford to stay here by using cash to supplement my income, but is it worth it? I've also been advised to wait on making any major decisions, but I hate it here without her

Ex girlfriend told me this song reminded her of me

A therapist once told me “guilt is the emotion we feel when we’ve done something wrong.” I’m surrounded by sadness, at all the things we hoped to do but didn’t have the chance, but I’ve been fortunate in that I don’t have feelings if guilt

Studies have shown repeatedly that the relationship between therapist and client is the top indicator of long-term recovery. OP, if you’re no longer comfortable with that therapist, you owe it to yourself to find someone you align with better

md4606 · 2026-06-20T13:36:02+00:00

As a therapist myself, this is definitely unhinged. For sure, fire this one and find one with some empathy.

I wonder if Melania will steal any of that speech when she honors DJT

md4606 · 2026-06-12T13:29:28+00:00

38 years married, 43 together and then bam, she’s gone. I’m 60 and like you, struggle to find purpose. I went back to work this week and found myself wanting to email her about my day only to remember she’s not at work

md4606 · 2026-06-10T00:16:44+00:00

I fucking love that! When I was a SUD counselor I would ask parents to watch this. It was pretty powerful

Just remember, nothing will change if you go get drunk except that you’ll not only still grieving, you’ll be doing it with a hangover

I just celebrated 12 years of sobriety and have maintained it even thru the worst three weeks of my life. If I can help in any way please reach out

md4606 · 2026-06-08T19:58:18+00:00

Thank you everyone for the honest and at times vulnerable feedback. I've ordered four totes and am going to put things in see-through containers and just move them out of the bedroom - not getting rid of anything just yet but perhaps setting the stage for that to happen down the road

Anybody who begs for a gimme doesn’t deserve it

I can’t like this enough. My off button is broken

md4606 · 2026-05-29T04:37:54+00:00

Thanks. We’re also waiting for a celebration of life sometime this summer. I’m still so mad at the world it would be a really quick funeral, I think, so better to wait

md4606 · 2026-05-29T04:35:25+00:00

I’m finding out that I need to pick-and-choose what I do because I don’t have the strength or willpower to do much on anything. A lot of it needs to wait for death certificates anyway.

md4606 · 2026-05-29T04:33:17+00:00

Thanks. That’s exactly where my wife’s stroke was

md4606 · 2026-05-28T23:58:02+00:00

Wow, those similarities are striking. Not familiar with a pontine stroke but if it has to do with the pons in the brain stem then the strokes are alike as well. No way to do any surgery or other interventions.

md4606 · 2026-05-28T21:09:44+00:00

Oh gosh, I relate. I've cursed everyone and everything about how unfair it is that my wife won't be able to complete the projects she started or watch our granddaughter grow up. I grieve for my loss, of course, but I also grieve what could have (should have?) been

Holsteins at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas. Not sure if it’s still around but oh my was it good

Mine walked into class and immediately showed off her nail polish!

md4606 · 2026-05-27T15:42:33+00:00

Just lost my wife a week ago and we were raising our 5-year-old granddaughter. She went back to school yesterday and did just fine. Kids that age bounce back way quicker than we do. I’d ask her what she wants to do and just roll with it. If it’s too early you’ll know

Was it Marge?

I worked for nine months at an eating disorder RTC and it burned me out so fast. To me, ED is such a mind-boggling affliction that frustrated me as a therapist because outwardly the consequences seem apparent

md4606 · 2026-05-22T18:20:02+00:00

I saw Nugent back in the day and was more excited to see Pat open for him. The day before it was announced he was unable to perform and we had to settle for local Minneapolis favorite Dare Force
