You were the first person to welcome me to this forum, we haven’t interacted much, but I’ve followed your log, and seen all the trials and tribulations you have been through. I dont know what else to say other than sorry. Stay Strong.

Glad to see you around, dude.

[anna_5588]

It’s honestly hard to fathom how strong you are.

[ChongLordUno]

Hope things are getting better my man

[bulldog9899]

In what way ?

[anna_5588]

You’re back, lifting and bonding with your sons despite the loss less than 2 months ago

Your son has a better haircut. Things are undoubtedly starting to look up.

[bulldog9899]

In all honesty what options do i really have?

[anna_5588]

I’ve lost two aunts (cousins of my mum) to either alcoholism or suicide after their husbands died.

[wanna_be]

PLENTY of other options, most not healthy in any way, yet very common.

If you can, take solace in how you’re handling it.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted in your log, but I’m also glad to see you back.

After my wife died I took about 4 days off and then immersed myself in my job. About a month later I saw a grief counselor once which was worthless. Life routines restarted after awhile, I realized I was still alive but lonesome, house seemed too big, I was a hermit, and someone told me I wasn’t grieving. I thought that was silly, but I think it was in early stages of second marriage when I did the grieving part. Things are ok now, 12 years later, but I still include her in my prayers at night.

Your new life’s waiting so try to start enjoying it. I have a good friend whose wife died after 4 years of cancer. He buried her and began dating 3 weeks later and got married 4 months later. He told me he had been grieving the whole last year of the cancer wars. People were critical, especially the ones who had been divorced, apparently since they’d been burned in bad marriages. Guys who had good marriages will find someone pretty quickly, but It will be completely different. I noticed two of my friend’s sons grieved much differently than he did, and maybe watch out for this with your sons.

You’re tough, you’ll do fine. Honestly, you don’t have a choice. Then there’s the “babe magnet” experiences…

Glad to see you back.

For all the kind words all of you have said.
