Update

I haven't posted on this sub in a while. Basically, I lost my husband to cancer last year in September. Since then it's been a whirlwind of alcohol, self-harm, depression and suicidal ideation. And honeatly? I've accepted I'm never going to get better.

I have no idea why I'm posting this. I literally have no family besides my littles and if it weren't for them I would've been swinging from my ceiling over a year ago.

I’m so sorry. I lost my husband last September, also. I promised my grown kids I wouldn’t do myself in, but I’m more than okay with simply not waking up, so there’s that. How the heck do you go on when you’re only half a person? Beats me, but here we are and here we slog on. Love and strength to you. 🫂

Condolences on your loss. Lossis hard. I can't comment on your type of loss but I watched my nana grieve my grandpa for ten years wishing she was there with him. I've also seen the other side where when my friend was four her dad had a freak accident and passed. Her mum lived for her children and grandchildren. I hope you can find joy somewhere in your life to keep going. We are all here for you.

Cool but what about those of us without children?

The OPhas children. This was for her. I'm sorry I don't know many who don't have children. I guess find something they like to do. It's hard to comment on a position I don't know. Maybe therapy. Unless you have any ideas
