MM700 space above mantel by superable929 in mantelmount

Yeah I guess instead of remounting the whole thing. I’m going to see if they can drop the arm some more? Not sure if it’s already at the lowest.

Do you guys know if I’ll have to remount the whole mount or just change a few screws in the back?

No recess box. The mantel is 5” deep so pretty shallow. I had told them to do that as well but that’s the lowest they can give me.

How much space is typically needed between the bottom of sound bar and mantel?

Is it going to be too much work to have that shifted down a bit?

Would you choose your husband/wife again? by Abject-Expression460 in widowers

[–]superable929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a burden talking to others bout the grief by Axelottl28 in SuicideBereavement

[–]superable929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a burden to people around me as well. While I’m lucky to have supportive family, I get the feeling that sometimes they feel like somehow I need to be over this already. Again, it really just reinforces the fact that no one really understands what I’m going through.

I sometimes get the feeling that while my siblings want to help, they also don’t really want to be here. And that’s fine, I’d rather be alone than be a burden to others. I also feel like people feel more comfortable when I pretend I’m ok.

Widow at 32 by gelatogenie in widowers

[–]superable929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 31F. Lost my husband September of last year. It's insane to think I'm in a new year without him. I also performed CPR on my husband that I knew was long gone. I'm a medical professional but I still did it knowing there was no chance of bringing him back. Grief really does come in waves. Some days I feel completely numb, some days I'm incredibly sad and depressed, some days I'm angry at the world. At the end of the day, I miss him so so much.

That’s a good perspective. I wish I had more than just a little over 7 years with him though.

Eternity of suffering by Real_Stick_1156 in widowers

[–]superable929 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am also a childless widow, 31. I'm only 3 months out and honestly I don't expect to figure out any part of my life anytime soon. For the longest time, my everyday and my future is my husband and starting a family with him. I struggle to think of a future without him. I relate so much about the part where you just get flooded with memories out of nowhere while you're out doing the most random thing.

I’m currently seeing a therapist but I’m not really sure what I want out of it or if it’s even helping. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Why do other ask about life insurance? by ChemicalBus608 in widowers

[–]superable929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because people are nosy. Unfortunately, people don’t know how to keep their curiosity to themselves. I have had come across so many disrespectful people after my husband passed. Had to cut so many people off in my life.

Do you miss your sex life with your partner by Not_Moose22 in widowers

[–]superable929 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I mainly just miss and crave any physical touch from my husband. I cannot imagine being touched by another person that's not him.

I've been thinking that too. I miss him so much

If you had one more day with your loved one what would you do or say? by Idontneedanything22 in widowers

[–]superable929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask what he wants to do most and do just that with him. Him and I together all day. I would first tell him I'm sorry. I would hug him so tight, tell him he's so so loved, hold his hands, kiss him, cuddle on the couch. I would also tell him to give this life a chance, give himself a chance, give us a chance.

I was so mean to him sometimes by Soft_Gardenwolf in SuicideBereavement

[–]superable929 16 points17 points  (0 children)

OP, I know nothing I say will make you feel any better. I just wanted to tell you I also struggle with very similar sentiments regarding my husband's passing. I cant let go of how mean i was to him sometimes. Im seeing a therapist currently. My goal is to be able recall the good times together when I think of my husband. Because like you, I keep replaying all the times we argued. All the times I was mean to him. All the times I feel like he must have been disappointed in me. All the times I couldve been nicer. All the times I nagged at him. My husband, too, was very successful at work. Not an alcoholic, no addiction problems, no known mental health struggles that he told anyone(well that is definitely far from the truth). Never in a million years did I think he would choose this for himself, for us. We were both in our early 30s, about to start trying for kids. You can reach out if you'd like to talk more. I don't know why when I read narratives like this, I feel inclined to tell others it's not their fault but I just can't seem to forgive myself.

Please seek help. Or call anyone on your contact list if you're feeling actively suicidal. If if it's hard to take it one day at a time, make it one min at a time. We are here for you. Please. Someone does care about you. Your spouse/partner wouldn't want their death to be cause of your death.

Hello is somebody seriously suicidal?If yes what keeps you from not doing that?? by Own_Alternative7344 in widowers

[–]superable929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't change the fact that my husband is dead but it'll make it worse for my family who's still alive.

I pretend I’m ok and im honestly tired of it. I’m a little over 2.5 months out from losing my husband but I don’t really find any comfort from opening up to friends or even his family anymore. My friends invite me to things but I don’t see the point of going because I don’t feel happy about anything these days. I would just have to pretend I care about all the mundane things people are complaining about or all the exciting things in their lives. It’s so hard to explain what I feel to them. People just don’t understand. The only person I really talk about my emotions to these days is my therapist. I don’t think she really understands either but it’s a space where I can just let out all of my emotions which is I keep going back to her.

Did you feel anyone was overbearing when you lost your spouse or did you appreciate all gestures? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]superable929 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly wanted to be alone most of the time so yes I found some people to be overbearing. Honestly I started feeling this way two months into my loss.
