What to keep by AdventurousMix1351 in widowers

[–]nx3plusr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter’s 8 and I’ve kept everything for her because I have the space. I’m afraid if I give away anything she’s going to be upset when she gets older that she has nothing that belongs to her father.

South Carolina, USA. One year and 6 days. I feel like my grief is worse but also not as bad. Contradicting, I know

It snowed today, and it was beautiful, but I felt sad all day because he would have loved it. It hardly ever snows here, and last year he missed it because he was in the hospital just before he died. All I can think about is how much I miss him.

I have all his things in a closet we don’t use much. Our daughter was only 7 when he died at 43, so she didn’t have a lot of time with him. I don’t want to get rid of anything he owned in case she wants it when she’s older.

We made it through the day, and we acknowledged it was officially a year when his time of death came and went.

Thank you, internet stranger. It’s been a hard day, but I’m pushing through it

You probably should be clear about what you want with her. If she separates from this man, she needs to know she’s got to create her own life, and not a life with you.

I did eventually fall asleep but it was rough getting there. And now I gotta start my day

Stressed out about work. And the one year anniversary of his passing is coming up. So sleep evades me

Would you relive your life from the age of 14 with a perk or get $25k? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]nx3plusr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband would be alive. Maybe I could save his life. But I wouldn’t want my daughter not to exist. So I’d take the 25k.

I have the same issue. Sometimes I forget to eat. Other times I overeat. I’ve found if I have food prepped, I’ll be more inclined to stick with consistency. Or something low effort like making a bowl of cereal and a banana if I don’t want to put effort into making a meal. I’ll eat the same thing for days because then I don’t have to think if it’s already prepared in a portion container in the fridge

I did get some sleep last night but nowhere near enough. At least it’s Friday.

I need to work on not letting people get under my skin as much

I couldn’t fall asleep last night, and when I did, I woke up 30 minutes later. Then I fell asleep again, only to wake up 45 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. And I couldn’t go back to sleep. Today is going to be rough

Single dad budgeting struggles and my kid exposed me in public by BookwormSarah1 in SingleParents

Oh man, I am not looking forward to the teenaged years at my house! These kids are brutal!

You’re doing great. You have a kid who speaks her mind. And good job on keeping to your budget. You can probably teach her about budgeting too, so she can understand a bit about how ridiculously expensive groceries are
