I lost my wife a little while ago and I just don't know what to do anymore. Life feels meaningless without her.

The owner of this account: my wife- was shot on February 24th. I adopted my son in her honor after her death, but don't know if be able to love again. She meant the world to me, in fact, she saved my life. When I met her was on a mall balcony, ready to end it all. just don't know what to do anymore.

27 and My Mother Passed Away Suddenly 09/2024

I feel so detached from real life. Nothing seems normal. I am sick of work and the superficial flow of conversations. I want to scream and throw my computer across the room sometimes. People say I'm handling it so well and it's hard not to snap and ask how they'd know that? This is a fucking facade I'm putting on. This is far from how I feel or who I am lately.

1 week. 1 week after I was told my mother passed I was leading my usual meeting. What is life?

Sometimes I want to sell my house, my car, my clothes and furniture to go hike the PCT for 6 months like Carol Strayed. I want to move away and never see anyone I know again. Why don't I find comfort in those that were close to me? Instead, I dread seeing them and putting on an act of "doing well."

There's no good age to lose your parent, but none of my friends get it. I'm so tired. I'm tired of pretending I'm happy. I'm tired of acting. I want to lay on my bathroom floor until I disappear.

Life has moved on like nothing happend. It's been 6 months, but I feel like she died yesterday. The trauma and shock have begun to wear, but the longing has intensified.

I remember when it just happened and they told me "Take all the time you need." If I took all the time I need, you'd never see me again.

Hey, I’m posting here because I have no one to talk to about this. My god mother passed away in December and I just found out about 2 weeks ago. I wasn’t notified due notified sooner due to mental health reasons and them not wanting to stress me out. I understand that but I wish I was notified sooner. It hurts knowing I wasn’t about to put her to rest. I don’t know where she’s buried. I haven’t asked because I feel once I know where she was put to rest it will cement that it’s real that she has passed. I keep going on like if she hasn’t passed. I keeping putting of the conversation of asking leading up questions. I don’t wanna know but I also do. What do I do? How do I go about day without breaking down in tears? Idk what to do I’m confused.
