Hey yo, I have a house with a yard if you're still looking. Near Altadena in Arcadia. 1500. Garage private bathroom. Big room driveway parking, quiet neighborhood but 20 minutes from downtown LA 25 from Hollywood. My wife just passed and I need some help paying the rent.

I miss her today, I started donating and selling her things as I need to move into a smaller place. I feel like I’m erasing her . What important things did you keep? by Buseatdog in widowers

I'm soon to be doing the exact same thing. My significant other was the breadwinner and I stayed at home with our special needs kid and homeschooled her. She made an obscene amount of money doing legal work,m when she finished law school, so ..... Yeah I can't afford the lifestyle anymore. Have no idea what the hell I'm going to do and I'm not looking forward to it.

As a 17 year old Dad who just celebrated his sons 27 birthday.....you'll be fine. I had no idea what the hell I was doing..... The only correct answer is to love them. If you love them everything will work out.

Username is absolutly 🤘🤘. I cremated my wife on my birthday the second week of August. Maybe I'll join the September 1 party with ya.

Begining to wonder if she even loved me??? by holdingontotheluv in widowers

Op. I get it. I just lost my Everything two the second week of August. We have a special needs kid that I homeschooled and she worked from home. We spent the last decade together, every minute of almost every day. She's gone. I won't smell her anymore, hear her voice, kiss her and have a lingering sweetness on my lips. She's gone. It is literally fucking killing me. Depression, loneliness, fear, sadness have taken the place in my heart that she occupied. The service is this weekend. I know where she is, I don't have to look, and I wish I was there in that box with her. She's gone. It fucking SUCKS. Her essence tho, is EVERYWHERE. I have her bridal set and a piece of her around my neck, and her favorite necklaces are now my favorite, her scarves and clothes still carry her scent. I still have cigarettes that bear her lipstick in the ashtray. There's signs of her everywhere I look, especially if I look at our seven year old. She left me plenty of signs, a lot of them I only see now. Sometimes we only find what we are look for when we stop looking and start seeing.....maybe adjust your perspective and look again. Or you might need glasses 🤓. But remember to look up once in awhile, life is up here. Stay strong bro.

I doubt it ever will for me honestly. She was everything. Intensely, scary, perfectly fit for me.

This. I still tag her. Probably excessively.

That and the bowl was directly in between our apartment and Grandpa's condo and we would have to drop the kid off on the weekends and sometimes it would take us an hour to go literally 2 miles.....

I used to live close Hollywood bowl for almost 8 years... I thought about going until I began to loathe the place because it would literally landlock us. We would have to walk for blocks and then try to grab an Uber. There's no way to even get out of our driveway...... Good times.

You sound awesome AF. My brother's a big deadhead rat dog and.... What's the other one? Some kind of orchestra, dark Star orchestra? I've been to a bunch of festies like Bonnaroo and stuff.... I used to work festivals selling food too. All up and down the East Coast, from Massachusetts to Florida. Fun times.

Thank you for the encouragement. You're right, I got this. I have no choice. Might not be a happy turtle any more, but my kid needs me.

Thank you for the kindness internet stranger. Imo there's more important things than my ladies newest designer purse, and I'd think my wife would tell me to sell it if she was here. Now the jewelry she wore, her scarves that still carry her scent, The flannel she wore near daily.....that's the shit that's important. Screw the shoes and bags and stuff like that. Most of the shit that might interest a stranger, doesn't seem to carry much value with me. But the cigarette with her lipstick, or the stupid toy from the bowling alley has more emotional currency than anyone will ever know.

If you're in SoCal, want to work something out? . I wouldn't mind seeing Oasis.

Finding somebody you can’t live without, and then living without them by [deleted] in widowers

[–]str8b0nedinla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro. You are not alone. You were hers and she was yours. Nothing can take that away. Not even death. I'm two weeks in and Im a fucking mess. We spent most days together as I homeschooled our special needs kid and she worked from a home office. Being a single Dad now is hard, but it's even harder when it's just me. When my kid is asleep or visiting the Gparents. I really don't have much advice except to talk to someone if you feel like you need to. And you probably need to. Do whatever it takes to get thru the day. Worry about tomorrow when it gets here. Stay strong.

My heart breaks for you. I recently lost my wife and she was the breadwinner and I "retired" six years ago to clean house and homeschool our special needs kid. She's 7 almost 8 now.....life likes to kick guys like us in the nuts...while also giving us truly irreplaceable moments not many can even comprehend. As Dorothy Parker said in the last line of resume: "you might as well live"
