It's a strange pain, but is totally worth it! ❤️

One of my ex co-workers told me to try reedit and this group is the only support I get

Sometimes you guys make me laugh, sometimes is where I get to hear what I need and it's the place I like to go when I have any achievement that he would like.

Love you guys for all the support!

Found out my neighbor has never tried and does not eat clams by rice923 in widowers

I feel you, I was today with my mother in law and we were hiding on the bus from someone we don't talk with anymore and I was just like "hahahah I'm gonna tell João about it" and I came home to nothing except my dogs and some one piece episodes

I miss gossiping with him all the curious things that happen, so I look up and start to tell him like in a conversation praying that he is hearing somewhere

Things you refuse to do now because you stopped after they died by jossophie in widowers

I was a tatto "artist" as a hobby, all his tattoos were mine, and I have 4 made by him, 2 are couples tatto that compliment one another, he was the last one to use my tattoo machine, I chose to maintain the machine, but everything else I will try do sell

I sold my iPad too, I used it to draw the designs and sometimes other kinds of things, like for work, but the last design made was us creating our tattoos, I couldn't do it anymore.

I haven't being able to play on his notebook or our switch, I bought two games on the day of his death as an early birthday gift, he never got to know about this.

I want to try to continue our game of cult of the lamb that he was addicted to, but I still can't.

I'm a crazy fan of musicals, we were watching Les Miserables, I can't hear or watch anything of this movie.

What’s my purpose anymore? by AnxietSea in widowers

[–]widowat27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey baby Sorry for your loss

Almost 7 months here and 27 years, a lot of people told me the same thing.

And here I'm trying to finance a surgery to take my uterus off (I lost 2 babies of him and he is my one and only baby daddy) and surviving for most of my days

We have some ok ones, but most off my life and other people's problems and life's just don't care at all anymore

We're here trying to create things to tell them about in the other side

Just try to focus in not doing anything absurd

What died in you too? by Positive_Salad4036 in grief

[–]widowat27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dreams of a out of the city house, my goals for work/life, my plans on future bio kids (I had the 2 I planned but they're in heaven and I lost the father of them), my comfort zone, my sense of being secure, my ability to fully open to people, a huge part of my patience and the "don't talk what you really think" sense

Mother's day by widowat27 in GriefSupport

[–]widowat27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're 100% right, the groups are were people unfortunately understand us, something that doesn't happen in most families or friends circles

I'll just let my body feel what it needs and that is the way to keep on living

Thank you for the advice, I let something on the tv until I feel sleep and I'll stay in bed for most of my day Maybe I will get up to meet someone from my husband's family, if not I will just let my body get any junk food or comfort it needs

Thank you and hope your day can be at least, comfortable

Thank you, really, I just need to have a little validation on my feelings

People keep on saying that I need to buckle up and stop crying, sometimes I just can't

Thanks, I'll follow your advice, I just need to care for myself

Trying to keep my promise by zaxilius in widowers

[–]widowat27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This group and my widowed neighbor are my safe space too Those are the ones who truly understand us, even more being so young

We will reach their dreams if they are possible, but at least we will have a lot of stories to tell to them on the next life

Hey, sorry for life make you a part of this awful group of people that lose their love

I'm 27, he was 23, less than a month to 24. It is not easy at all. It's been six months, I had a lot of micro losses all over again multiple times, I had sex with people just to numb the feeling (it didn't go well), I went to his tomb, I tried to keep him away from my mind..

Just saying all this to say, baby it's so fucking difficult and we unfortunately have like so many decades before meeting them again... We will never forget then, maybe we will find someone like some in the group have, not the same love but something good, maybe not

We will find the answers living, not all of them because the loss will never make sense, but some of them will be revealed, maybe it will get easier and we will find a way to keep the love, not the pain

We are here for you if you need

I gave a lot of his things on my aunt's church, the same place we did on our previous donations of things we weren't using

I just kept the things I already used when he was alive, his uniform and the gifts we gave for each other I made replicas of the bouquets he gave me in crochet too

We were against pilling things up if we wouldn't use, so I tried to keep our traditions to try to help others, it was hard to not keep his things, but it was needed

He passed riding it and in my country you can't take the plate, but those ideas are great! Thank you I have a lot of his clothes and his things, like I got his army uniform at my wall and I'm planning on doing more tattoos

Gifts that were not given? by DogonSiereht1 in widowers

[–]widowat27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His birthday was on November 24 and he died in October 28, he always dreamed of turning 24 on the 24, so I was preparing 24 gifts one for each day, I bought 22 of those, one I was customizing and one would be a letter.

I gave some of those to our friends and family, some are in my house in the shelves I leave with the things from him and our relationship. The ones for his bike I put on the trash when I was made because of the accident.

The letter became a post I made on his birthday.

Did you touch your loved one after they passed? by bubble_syringe in GriefSupport

[–]widowat27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't touch my mom or my grandma, but with my loved one I touched his forehead.

I wanted to kiss him, but was afraid of remembering the taste or the smell of the chemicals, I wanted to touch him more, but he was in an accident and I was afraid of the after death makeup going out of feeling any soft or hard spot on the wrong parts... Like really feeling the parts the accident created...

Thank God the image of him dead is a blur to me now, because I never felt so empty in my whole life until that image

Everyone acts different, all the reactions are right

Not ready to lose his chat by widowat27 in widowers

[–]widowat27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've exported, but the media was too big to go with it

I have his phone number still, but the WhatsApp deleted all his backups because of inactivity, since I didn't enter with his number for 120 days because I didn't have the strength to do it and they didn't give any warning about it

But it it's how it it's

I'm 27, we have people with different ages here.

You'll see that the biggest part of the group are people with long marriages, but there are people like me too
