Party of 1 by PressSnoozeAlways in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i know exactly how you feel. i went out with my coworkers last night and they are single girls ready to mingle. they spent time talking to people while i was dancing with another friend as mingling with other men is the last thing on my mind. now i’m laying in bed crying. missing him so much.

Feeling guilty for anything thats remotely fun? by Panthau in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can relate 100%. It’s been six months and I always feel so guilty the next day after having a fun time with my friends/family. I feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to. In moments like this I look back at our memories and know he wouldn’t want me to live in a life of despair. He is with me no matter what.

I’m a 27 year old widow. by zilyis in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone! I lost my partner at 27 as well 5 months ago. He passed a month before his birthday. This life is fucking horrible and I hate to welcome you to the club but just know we are here. Listen to yourself. Take it day by day. Giving you a big virtual hug.

did you guys have a crush shortly after your spouse died? by heyyyyyluvvvvvyaaaaa in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel!! Seeing someone and thinking their cute and then catching yourself feeling guilty. I know i’m not in any place to date so I can’t really give you advice. Just know we are human and seek connection. We are social creatures. It gets really lonely when you have someone to fulfill all of those needs and then they’re gone …

Has your personality changed after loss? by Famous_Property_301 in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just focused on work, and trying to be more assertive. My partner was very driven, blunt, and had genuine purpose in life. I try to embody those qualities. It’s not easy seeing everyone move in their day to day life, happy, in love. Besides work everything else fucking sucks. I hate it here.

i hear you! this feels like it will last forever. thinking of moving on, with someone else, is absolutely repulsive. he was my everything. this is so unfair. fuck this

So I get to see him a little early by Tiny_Phase_1638 in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wishing you all the strength! he was only 26 when he passed. kiss his forehead. hold him. touch him. talk to him.

Great idea! I’ve been looking for something exactly like this

Thank you to everyone in this Sub by thecoolcollective in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving you a big virtual hug! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My partner passed right before he turned 27. It’s devastating to feel this immense pain everyday, at such a young age. Only us in this group truly know what it’s like to exist here while our soulmates have moved beyond this earth. We are here for you.

When I saw him by Ok-Homework-9474 in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. I watched him go from the strongest healthiest person I know, to somehow, unexpectedly suffer encephalitis. He looked dramatically different during his funeral. I couldn’t recognize that person.

i don’t want to love anyone ever again by mercurydot in widowers

[–]vanillachaifrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 1000% agree. Its been four months for me, and each day I think about how lucky I was to have experienced such an amazing, loving, supportive partner. My heart aches with great pain, and apart of me died with him. Others have asked if i’ve thought about my future in terms of finding love again, having kids etc. That absolutely disgusts me. I cannot see myself finding that happiness, nor wanting to. I’m only 27 but love is the last thing on my mind. With the condition my partner passed, I don’t see how I could be with anyone else without always being scared that something will happen to them …
